[quote=Anonymous]I'm really sorry, OP.  Sorry you don't have your second baby, and sorry your husband is a complete d*ck about it.  That just sucks.

I'll say this.  It's REALLY hard to get pregnant at 40.  But it's possible.  It's also REALLY hard to be out in the dating world as a single mom with a four year old.  I had basically given up on the idea of having a baby when I was 38 because I still hadn't met the right guy and I didn't want to be a single mom by choice.  Somehow, the stars aligned and I met a good guy, but we didn't marry for 3 years, and I got pregnant pretty miraculously on our honeymoon and we now have a baby.  Every day, I marvel at all the amazingly lucky pieces that fell into place.  But I was single with no kids.  I think if you really want a second child, you'd need to divorce your husband and immediately start trying to conceive on your own, maybe with donor sperm, since the chances you'd meet and marry a guy in time to conceive are pretty small.

So, I think leaving your marriage just to have another baby is not a good bet unless you're okay to go on that adventure alone.

However, leaving your marriage because you're married to a dickish manchild might be worth considering, or at least seeking counseling about.[/quote]
