How do you get through this?

I love my dh very much and we have a wonderful ds who's 2. He also has a dd from his 1st marriage who we see regularly.
When I meant my dh he always wanted more children and always wanted at least 2 so that was fine however, he's now decided that he doesn't want anymore and nothing I say will change his mind. I want another child and I just don't know how to sort this out without me resenting him. I know I am very fortunate to have one child. Has anyone else had to deal with this?

Not sure what to suggest, Carnberry. This must be awful for you.
Has he said why he doesn't want any more? Is it financial, or more a gut instinct?
I have a friend who had a similar situation, except the first child was hers from a previous relationship, She was desperate for a third, and her DH didn't want any more. So she just got PG anyway. I wouldn't recommend this course of action as her DH nearly left her and still seems fairly unreliable to me, but in her mind, she knew if it came down to it she could manage the kids on her own, and her desire for another one was greater than her desire to keep her DH (though she did want him to stay, IYSWIM).
