My husband and I are 33/36 and have 2 kids (8,10). I want another (very much so) he does not. It creates a lot of fights. I had my IUd removed and he is thinking of getting a vasectomy. What would you do?

Question

Answer

You cant force him to have another child. If it's really a deal breaker for you, your only options is to seperate and find someone who wants more children.

Answer

I personally would just get a dog lol. No need to divorce over wanting more children or not. Also, maybe sign up to be a foster parent?

Answer

If you’re actually considering divorcing your husband because of this then you married the wrong man. Rather he married the wrong woman.

Answer

You are considering divorce cause he may not want another baby, you should probably leave anyway. You can't "convince" or pressure someone to change their mind to have a baby. For a whole bunch of reasons, he may not want another. One probable being that he doesn't want to start over at his age. By the time the kid would be 18, he would be getting close to 60. Maybe he doesn't want to have a kid potentially lose a parent when they're young...etc

Answer

Y'all will have to come to a compromise. I definitely wouldn't divorce if you're life together is happy otherwise.

Answer

Smother him with sex! Get that baby! 😂

Answer

I mean you have 2 kids already-why not focus on them? If he has valid reasons/concerns I think they are worth listening to, talking with a couples counselor with before you draw up  divorce papers. 
Why break up an otherwise happy and healthy family over another child? Seems delusional to me-there are other ways to get your baby fix if that’s the issue here...
