Baby on hold

My husband and I have been talking about having another baby for awhile, we haven’t been using protection but it’s been 3 months and still nothing. So last night I straight up asked my husband if he truly wanted to have another baby, he said “at first yes but then I started talking to my friends and now I think we should wait” and to be honest I was kinda glad he said that but at the same time I hate that he didn’t say this to me earlier. My question to you ladies is how do y’all go about in this type of situation where he feels like he can’t talk to you about serious situations.
