[quote=Anonymous]I really wanted a third too. But my DH really was indifferent, and blew it off when I approached the subject. For my situation, I came the realization it was what I wanted, for me, and that I needed to think about what was best for my family. I couldn't be sure that the added stress of a third child wouldn't stress my family out so badly that we would divorce.  My DH is terrible in the infant stage. He sleeps through the crying, works a lot, so I built up resentment that i was doing all the heavy lifting. We had a strong, strong marriage before kids, were together 10 years, and never had such a struggle until the first year of life for both of our children.

I decided I couldn't risk that. I looked at the children I already had and didn't want to raise them in a broken home. I had no way of knowing if that would have happened, but I felt like if I pushed my husband to do something he really wasn't 100% about (and I probably could have talked him into it), it could backfire with dire consequences.

I went through about a 6 month mourning period of coming to terms with my decision. I was pretty sad about it. But now it's been 3 years and I am fine with it.  [/quote]
