I don't want kids and planning to secretly get IUD
I get that I may be the exception than the norm but I've been married for 10 years now and I am certain I do not want kids. My husband and I have been going back and forth on it through the years and he thinks I'll change my mind. I tried breaking up with him but he says he doesn't want to. We love each other but really have differing opinions about kids. im thinking of getting an IUD in secret. Thoughts? Advice?
Update/additional info:
Thanks for the responses so far and respect your opinion. I didn't know I didn't want kids until we were already married. We had a talk before already and I told him I wasn't going to change my mind and he said he chose me and it was okay until his parents died in a car crash and he was depressed and in my attempt to make him feel better I said why don't we try to have kids? It is wrong I KNOW that but its already out there. We have been trying for a year until I got a new job and will not be covered until 6 months so we stopped so I am now back on the Nuvaring and I started exploring the IUD because I saw a flyer in the doc's office. I tried being honest but I don't want to lose him I know we will part ways this time around if I initiate that conversation again and be honest.. I am scared to lose him but I think I know it will come to that anyway, he finds out about IUD then thats a big lie, if I dont do the IUD he'll throw a fit because why did I say Im okay with having kids out of pity.
Thank you for your time and advice. 😞
