[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When we had this disagreement, I put the onus of birth control on DH. He was free to get condoms, or get a vasectomy, or pull out.  And he did pull out for over a year until I got pregnant. 😂 he knew the risk he was taking![/quote]

It's disturbing that you are posting laughing emojis about this.

I'm sure you're the type to come back and (with more smileys, of course) post about how much he loves that baby he didn't want. Surely he does. But while you put the onus of BC onto him, did you also simultaneously go get a job that pays more, to help fund that kid for the next 18-22 years at least? Or did you plan ahead for increasing life insurance, health insurance premiums, more money into a college fund....? What onus did you put on yourself to be ready for a child?

Oh, sorry, you probably find that too much like harsh reality. Pity he couldn't just go get a vasectomy and was dumb enough to think pulling out was fine. But you got what YOU wanted, so yay, you! [/quote]

I didn't write that comment, but had a similar experience. What an odd assumption (projection?) that OP failed to plan for another child. When planning to have more kids, I already out-earned my spouse, and then yes, I did find another job which paid significantly more.  :D

Is it too much like harsh reality for you that many families have the resources for another child? If you wanted another child but do not have the resources, then I truly feel sorry for you and I hope that you can find peace with your situation  :( [/quote]
