| You care more about having a baby than your life and your husbands life. That is not good. You two are not in a good, healthy relationship to bring and raise a baby into this world. Please hold off on having a child to figure you two out together and individually. |
I don't care more about having a baby! I'm not even sure I want a baby anymore. Outside of the lack of sex, we have a very healthy relationshios. We are best friends and great partners in life. |
Yet it sounds like you both like the bottle. |
| As someone who had a baby with an alcoholic before she realized that yes, he was an alcoholic, don't do it. I love my son and our family, but we went through hell and back. You will end up being a single parent because your husband will not be able to functionally take care of your child. If your husband is having performance problems and passing asleep in a chair, I can pretty much guarantee you he's an alcoholic, and he's probably drinking more than you think he is. Stop trying to get pregnant and tell him you will not have a baby with him until he gets sober. And mean it. |
OK. My husband is a functioning alcoholic if he's an alcoholic. By oassing out in a chair I mean at 2 am. He performs well at work, dies half of the housework and has good relationships with others. |
That's what my therapist told me. She wants us to attend AA together. |

No conceiving is the least of your worries right now. You can't say he loves alcohol more than you and drinks to the point of not being able to perform when you need him to in one breath and then say he is a good partner in the next.
Even putting the baby issue aside, you aren't having sex anywhere near as much as you'd like and he doesn't seem to care. This is pretty shabby behavior from a supposed best friend. |
Yeah it is shitty. I hate that he withholds something from me that I really need from him. |
| Follow your gut and don't bring a kid into this mess. |
| You could have sex in the morning or when he first starts drinking. You don't have kids so just jump his bones anytime. There is no reason to wait until he comes to bed. |
| You want a baby for all the wrong reasons. |
Explain to me what the right reasons are vs wronf reasons? I'd love to have a family with my husband and care for a child. |
Why would I leave my DH who I love dearly? I partially blame infertility for these problems (performance anxiety drove down his sex drive) and we talk about how we hope things can get back on track after we have success via IVF. |
| I feel sorry for any of the children that you two may create. I truly hope that this is a fake post. |
That's cruel. You feel sorry for my future children because my husband drinks and can't get it up? My husband is a loving man and you don't even know us. |
