Husband is offended by me wanting Birth Control.

I'm feeling some type of way about this and just need some reassurance I'm doing the right thing before I do it and regret it..

My fiance and I have been together 3 years. We have an 8 month old son and are getting married in June, hence why I'm calling him my husband already. I'm starting my pre-nursing classes in August.

So, I've decided, as much as I've always been against birth control of any kind. I'm the type that won't even take a Tylenol for a headache ladies. I don't like medicines unless it's absolutely medically necessary. This was a big decision for me... Our son will be a year old when I start school and will be 4 when I finish and take my licensing test.. My schooling is the only reason I've been thinking so hard about this. Our parents are willing to babysit him since he's the only one. But we would have to hire a babysitter for 2. I'm my sons main caregiver because he works long hours. I'm not ready for 2, especially in Nursing school.

My husband is offended by me discussing this with him. Up until we started trying for our son, we used the pull out method and it worked for us. Never had a scare. It took 3 months to get pregnant once we started trying. Anyway, he thinks the reason I wanna go on birth control is because I dont want anymore kids with him and I dont trust him to pull out on time. None of those are true. I told him today I made the appt to talk to my Dr about it. He got irritable and said why did we have our son now if you're gonna go on birth control. You know I wanted our kids close together. I did too until I enrolled in school. He really hurt my feeling a little bit about it today. Not gonna lie. He's not a bad guy before you ladies bash him.. he's just upset about it for multiple reasons. He would never try to get me pregnant on purpose. We do respect each other. He's just upset. But he is being understanding of my reasons.

**Let me explain how our conversation about the children being close in age went. I want them 2-4 years apart. We agreed when our son was closer to 2 1/2 we'd start trying again. But he wanted another one before our son was even home from the NICU. I just want to get a routine and get a feel for my classes and stuff before I throw a second baby into it. Our first was early so I'm still healing from that mentally as well. I've had several times when I cried wondering if I wanted anymore because of what we went through with him.
