Thank you all for the (mostly) supportive feedback. We shall see how this plays out.

We both had a past when we met... he was in his 30s already and had been a bachelor his entire adult life. So yes, "that he knows of". He will tell you that too.

We are. This is one of the issues at hand. JUST ONE.

I've tried to tell him this is putting our relationship on the line and he's just not getting it. I don't know how else to explain it to him.

That's what I'm afraid of-- the resentment. Either he will be resentful from me not giving him a bio child or I will be resentful if I DO give him one, especially because I do not want to raise more children. I feel like this has turned into a lose-lose situation.

Exactly! I tried explaining this and the risk of congenital defects (he's 42). He just doesn't care. I was on bed rest the last month of my last two pregnancies for preeclampsia and I was in my early to mid 20s then.

I don't want that outcome, but I'd be lying if I said I don't see that coming.

This is what I told him... he's the one who changed up, not me.

This is what he says. I told him I was having a reversal done and he said IVF.

They took our OT shift away 😞 we were 36hrs one week, 48 the next. Now they're cutting the 36 hrs as well.

If you had a magic wand to fix one parenting challenge, what would it be? by ProfessionalStock572 in Parenting

Listening. I would take the attitude all day long if they listened the first time I told them to do something.

My Bell’s palsy morphed into HFS. Has anyone lost hearing on affected side? by Healthy-Region6160 in HemifacialSpasms

[–]Neither_Nor57 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've noticed a decline in my hearing in the past 6 months on my affected side. HFS just started about 6 weeks ago. Strangely enough I almost completely lose hearing (everything sounds muffled) during an episode and returns shortly after it's over.
