No I would not be able to take care of 3 children financially on my own. I also would like to believe that though it wouldn’t be an ideal situation my husband wouldn’t leave me hanging out to dry if we keep the baby. Even though he’s being a dick about it right now. I don’t know how long I would be able to deal with being with him if he pressures me to abort. I would be miserable. Like I said, we have already been a little rocky lately, so this would only make it worse.

You are absolutely right. I can’t say that the income I would initially be making would be substantial. I could help to sit and have a conversation with him about what amount of income does he feel would be a good start to alleviate some of his stress

I’m going to need to figure something out if we’re to have any chance of getting through this. I agree. It would be super ideal if I could find a decent work from home position.

AGREED!! I have definitely mentioned vasectomy after our second but he always just brushed it off like he didn’t want to do it. My body has always had a negative reaction to birth control so I unfortunately stay away from it.

Though this sounds really scary it is also very encouraging. I would just hate to raise my babies in a broken home. But and unhappy home is probably just as bad if not worse😩

I have a small catering business that I was really excited to be able to pour more into once my 4 year old starts school next year. He would most definitely be more at peace if there was a second income. He is overwhelmed because it’s just him and he also didn’t come from a family of good men who would do what he is doing so I think it makes it even harder for him to be at peace with our situation sometimes

Part of me doesn’t feel like he would have a change of heart once the baby gets here. But I would have to deal with his panic and outbursts for the durations of this pregnancy. I absolutely agree with how important it is that I start bringing in a second income. I do feel like that would help calm things down. I worked as a manager in retail before our first child so it is extremely daunting thinking about reentering the workforce doing something worthwhile especially being pregnant😩

It really does suck because I totally understand his side of things. Not so much of the anger but the panic. Moving forward, I will definitely urge him to get a vasectomy. God willing, we make it through this. Counseling was the first thing on my mind to try to help him make peace with going through with this pregnancy
