mb, oh my god, I feel for you and I think you should absolutely ignore--as you are doing--all of this pressure you are receiving from a million different angles to have a baby.


I know that is your plan...but I also know it can be hard to stick to it when everyone else is telling you what you should be doing, and how easy having a child is, etc...


I get crazy when posts are about children, because my heart just BREAKS for kids who are brought into this world under wrong circumstances.

mb, I think your husband's refusal to address his anger is in direct relation to you not considering a baby.


You've both made promises to each other.

Well, as far as I'm concerned, having a baby is just not an option right now. That's one thing I will stand firm on. I wish I could tell him when I'll be ready, but I just have no idea. But I will not get pregnant until I'm absolutely certain that our marriage is strong enough, and I am ready to be a parent.
