[quote=Anonymous]The lower number won in our house. We discussed three when we dated and got married. DH's only request was that he wanted to wait 5 yrs before having kids as he felt marriage and relationship needed to be strong before children.  We have 2. DH says he never agreed to 3. I have not resolved that we don't have 1 more. It doesn't seem like 2 would be that much of a disappointment but I come from a very large family.   I have grown distant but he wants to be closer.  I receive lots of gifts and flowers, this was not the case early in marriage.  I can't be closer to someone who I feel changed/controlled my life in not the way I expected. I grieve, he has moved on.  I somehow feel that if we were unable to have children I would feel differently, but at the moment I feel it is his fault.  No medical issues, no financial issues, just said he wasn't comfortable with having more than 2 when I brought up having another child.  Therapy has not changed that feeling.  He is a great involved dad with our 2. [/quote]
