DH just told me he does not want to have any more children

We have a girl and a boy and I have always wanted more children. I had a miscarriage last March but was always hoping we would have another child. I am obsessively broody and find it hard to put it out of my mind.
It is very difficult for me to accept his decision as I find it very selfish and it makes me angry that he just takes the decision and I have to accept it.
I am crying all the time and just feel really down.
I think we are going to go to relationship counseling but any help or advice would be very welcome.
thanks

I agree to an extent. Though for me, this was one of the reasons why I could never have married in my twenties despite being with DH from uni. Even then I knew that how I felt then at 21 would probably change dramatically by the time I was 31 so I waited until then to get married. At 21 I would have said no to kids. By 31 I had changed my mind. I felt that by then we were better able to make the decisions we'd want to stick by in the long term.

Allthis is irrelevant anyway as it'snot my marriage we're talking about. I hope it goes well for you tonight and that, if nothing else, you can both begin to see the reasons behind the other's point of view. Good luck.
