[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did you talk about how many kids you wanted before you got married?  Do you work?  If you don't work, I feel like it's understandable for him not to want the financial pressure of having to make more or keep job to support more kids and a bigger family.  If you do work, like I do with 3 kids, I think it is also understandable for him to think two working parents with 3 kids is hard and crazy at times and that he doesn't want more.

But I have no idea what you thought going into the marriage, like if you were expecting to have more kids.[/quote]

Well here's the thing. We wanted to have two. Then we had a slip up with birth control with #3. I actually brought up the idea of terminating because I was initially so sick and freaked out but he was adamantly opposed. Of course we love and adore our #3 and it scares me to even think about the fact that we might not have had her in our lives. Because of this experience, I know that we would feel the same way about a 4th.

I don't work but he does pretty well and we can afford it. It's not a financial thing with him. He's just over the baby stage. But since I SAH and will be doing most of the work anyway...[/quote]

Idk you can see if you can cajole him into but it sounds like you might have to accept that he's done with the baby stage. You'll probably feel sad like I do that your child bearing years are over whenever it is, no matter how many kids you have. [/quote]
