[quote=Anonymous]Same situation with my DH when I was 34. He kept saying he wasn’t ready yet but would be and I was starting to consider leaving. I actually accidentally got pregnant (a medication cancelled out my BC and I wasn’t aware of the interaction), and he freaked out. I said I would terminate and divorce, or keep the baby and stay and we’d just have the one. He asked for a week to sit with the news. He decided he was on board with having a baby after a couple days, but we started couples counseling. It turned out he was resistant because of childhood issues, he went to therapy on his own and we now have 3 children, the last two planned.

I would not at all recommend this sequence of events, but would highly recommend couples counseling. It didn’t take long for his issues to surface once we talked with a professional, and I’m glad I didn’t ditch an otherwise great relationship over baggage he didn’t know he had. I’m lucky it worked out, and it was a crappy first trimester. But I really wanted kids and probably would have left without counseling if I hadn’t gotten pregnant.[/quote]
