Dont know where to start really. I have two wonderful children of five and seven and my partner has four grown up children of 24, 22, 18 and 15. My partner is older than myself and he knew from the beginning i wanted children and marriage one day. But now he has changed his mind. It has made me so depressed. I desperately want a baby, and i now feel that he has let me up the garden path. Everyone keeps saying well he is older, but what about me? I am only 28 and cannot think of not giving birth again. He is not a dinosaur and has plenty of life in him (he plays rugby every weekend !) I get the opinion from everyone 'you already have two children' but this does not suggest that i do not want anymore. Thats like saying to someone you already have a child why would you want another? I love my children dearly, i love his children dearly, and i am head over heels about the man but its making me resentful. I just keep thinking how he knew i wanted another child without a doubt. I have pointed out that he had a second chance when he married and had two more children and thats how i envisioned my life.
Everyone around me is pregnant. My sister just had a lovely baby girl and has a daughter of 8 from a previous relationship. She would like more and quite rightly so. She is four years older than i am and i now keep looking at all my friends who are older than i am and having children. We are not short of money. I recently inherited as well so its not like we cannot afford it.
It would be nice to hear from someone in the same boat.
