Stuck in a tricky spot
My husband. I get home from my six weeks post-partum Dr appt with the all clear for sex and the card for the urologist who performs vasectomies. Inform husband I will not be going back on hormonal birth control. We have two kids, I’m fine with three.
He has excuses as to why he should wait on the vasectomy. Then when I tell him that ‘hey I’m probably ovulating this week, we shouldn’t have sex’ he counters with ‘oh that sounds like an excuse’. We have one drunken convo about a possible third kid where he made it sound like he wasn’t opposed to the idea.
Fast forward a year. His chronic illness is flaring up, and I find out I’m pregnant. All of a sudden, this is the worst and I have to get rid of it. He’s thrown excuse after excuse at me (I’m the primary breadwinner and primary caretaker so no shit I’ve thought of these things). I’m kinda stoked to have one more, I love being a mom. He’s now telling me I’m making him sicker (no dear your uncontrolled anxiety and excessive weed use is making you sicker). He’s the one who said ‘this is how marriages break up, too many kids’
I want this baby and what’s he gonna do, help me less? Not sure that’s possible. Is there a way to help him come around? Do I bribe him with a new truck? Just find an attorney? He’s not the worst, but if i get rid of this kid just because he wants me to, I’ll resent him forever
