Need advice!
Hi everyone- I hope this is the appropriate forum to post this.
I am a 29 year old mom to two amazing boys. My husband and I have been together for 11 years, married for 6. He’s a great dad and provider for us, very smart with money and has fantastic goals set for us for the future. We live very comfortably.
When we got married we both agreed two kids. Which we have. But after having two. I don’t feel complete. I feel as if something is missing. It’s so hard to explain, but I feel in my heart I am meant to have another child. When I have discussed my feelings with him, he does not understand how i could feel “incomplete”. He states he would have been happy with just one child, but agreed to a second for me. (He does not regret our son, at all!) but my husband has struggled for a few years with his mental health, but is in a very good space now. He tells me he wouldn’t resent a third child, but knows he would be less happy than he is now. We also live very far away from family support, so we are 100% on our own raising our family.
I feel so selfish for wanting to add another baby to the mix, but I feel time is running out as my husband has plans to have a vasectomy. Every time he discussses it I get teary eyed and tell him it makes me really sad. He said he has put a lot of thought into it but really doesn’t want a third child.
I would never force or trick him into getting my pregnant. But I really feel strongly about wanting another baby, as does he for not. Is this something that I should just let go and count my blessings for having the two beautiful kids I do have? Or is this worth having another discussion with him over?
Not sure exactly what I’m asking, just reassurance what I’m feeling is okay and any advice/comments are welcome.
Thanks for reading if you made it this far!
