[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If this was something you knew was important to him when you married him then you better have a heck of a reason to change your mind, one stronger than “I want to lay out at the pool.” [/quote]

It’s more than the pool.  I think I still might have some stuff to unpack from my divorce (when kids were a toddler and a baby).  I had absolutely no help and was flat broke - it was extremely stressful and lonely.  I had PPD/PPA and no resources.  I really dislike being pregnant - I gain a ton of weight and am generally miserable.  I restarted my career and am in a good place and am afraid I will never have the opportunity to re-enter the workforce.  Im also be  eh [b]stressed about: the Russia-Ukraine war, the state of our democracy, climate change, school (etc) shootings, Covid/monkeypox etc etc, and the like.  The world was different when I had my first two. [/b]

Also, losing a baby in the second trimester was very difficult. It’s just hard for me to muster excitement when it seems like things are so bleak and uncertain. [/quote]

The world is truly no worse than it was when you had your first 2 kids.  You’re likely stressed out from 24-7 news.  Not having another kid because of the Ukraine war is kind of sad.  [/quote]
