[quote=Anonymous]I know that this is a common issue with couples - deciding on what size of family is the "right size."  My husband and I have been stuck on this for 4 years - while I was pregnant with our one and only.

Four years later - I'm almost 40.  And I still want another.  He not only doesn't, but is a complete d*ck about the way that he is communicating it.  Which makes me question our marriage (do I really want to stay with him?  If not - then why have another baby?!)  But now I'm wondering if I'm also using the baby discussion as a litmus test of our marriage.  Like - if our marriage were healthy and we were truly partners, then of course we would have another kid.  Instead, I'm married to a 50 yo manchild.

I'm realizing that if this issue is going to be the straw that breaks the camel's back (one way or another), then I probably should leave the relationship without subjecting another child to the situation (assuming that having another one would also lead to divorce).

Have you split up around the issue of family size, even if there were other children involved?
