I have known women who have suffered infertility and have no children. I have know parents who have had children die in their arms. Perhaps a bit of perspective and gratitude would help you cope with the challenges you experience with your husband. [/quote]
I already said I am grateful for one healthy child but I have zero gratitude, and at the moment, affection, for my husband. [/quote]

Then I think your two choices are to either try to develop a little affection for him, as not having any certainly will destroy your family or leave him. I sympathize that neither are perfect solutions, but you can't make someone want an additional child and it certainly will be more damaging to have a child with him that he doesn't want. I imagine that he didn't intentionally lie to you about how many children he wanted. Until you have one child, it is impossible to know how you might feel and how much responsibility they are. I think it is better to have one than to have a child who is resented. [/quote]
