Should I just go with it? (Ttc timing)

Question

My fiancé and I have a 1 year old son together, I have 2 step daughters, and want to have another baby. He currently pays his ex wife 60% of his income in child support and alimony.
Our son was a preemie due to severe preeclampsia (30 weeker). I want to start trying again when he turns 2 since my blood pressure is now controlled (he’s 18 months). 
My issue is that every time that I mention to my fiancé about ttc again he just agrees with what I want. I feel like it’s never a mutual decision but instead me just telling him and him going along with it. I want him to have his own ideas about it too, especially since he’s the main income for 2 households.
Should I just go with what I want if he agrees? Should I push him to voice his opinion?

Answer

Ask specific questions and don’t discuss what your opinion is, just ask what you want to know ie. do you think we can afford this, do you want more children? If you get no input, state what you want and is he ok?

Answer

If he's agreeing with your timing, go for it. Maybe you guys are just very much on the same page. Sometimes pushing non issues can turn them into issues.

Answer

You could ask him if this is something he wants to be sure, but if he’s not saying no I would assume he wants to grow your family too

Answer

It sounds like you can't really afford another child

Answer

I would ask if he really wants another. Just be like you are making sure our household will be okay and that you would like to try again of he wants it and is willing to embark journey with you.
