My husband and I always agreed on two kids, but I'm desperate for one more.

Should I tell my husband I want another baby even though we can’t have one?

We already have two sons, and we had always agreed on two kids. But from the moment my second was born, the feeling that our family was complete never materialized. Part of it is that we’d always hoped for a daughter, but I know my husband is happy with his two boys. I just can’t seem to let go of this longing.There are thousands of reasons we shouldn’t have a third, starting with the fact that I have no idea how we’d afford it. I’m past 35, so getting and staying pregnant could be hard.

I want you to truly unpack all of the outcomes so nothing hits you by surprise. This seems to be the type of situation that would benefit greatly from therapy. You stated that you’re working on your mental health, and maybe that means you’re already meeting with a therapist, and if so, that’s great. I also believe that you should meet with a therapist along with your husband to come to some sort of resolution.
