Compromise?

So we all know how important it is to talk about your future prior to getting married. Especially family planning.

Before getting married, my husband talked a lot about wanting 3 kids max. After having our son, we were set on just him for a long time 😂 We were so traumatized by his birth. Not long before getting pregnant, talk of #2 came up. But also my husband talked about how he doesn’t want more than that. After recovering from the trauma that was my son’s birth, I was mentioned wanting to have 2 more to complete our family.

I’m not upset over the fact of keeping our family small. My husband had even said he’d much rather he get a vasectomy after our second vs me getting my tubes tied.

I guess, I’m just wondering if anyone else had to “compromise” when it came to family planning? How did it result for you and your SO?

Also I just want to add, I’m very open to the idea that things could change for him and I. As I said, the thought of 2 being all we have doesn’t upset me.
