A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

My husband and I have been happily married for 5 years, I'm a teacher and he works as a Physical Trainer for pediatrics hospital, as you can imagine we are both great with kids ...

My husband said he doesn't want any children, which is heartbreaking :'( , myself on the other hand want children :)

He has said that he would leave me or ask me to "do away" the baby ....

Their is a chance that Iam Expecting :) , but I'm nervous and I'm scarred of my husbands reaction!!! The idea of a baby, upsets him.

How should I approach him? How do I handle this delicate situation??

Help?! God bless :)

Is this for real? You say you've been married for 5 years. Is that possible when your age is stated as 18-21? Surely you were aware your husband didn't want children when you got married? If not, why didn't you discuss this?

Sounds like this marriage was over before it started.

Seriously, there is no point worrying about something that may not even happen.

Have you posted on here before regarding this?

This, sadly, was a disaster waiting to happen. He was clear that he didn't want children, you were clear that you did. At some point, this was going to go badly.

First, find out whether you're pregnant or not for sure. You need to know for sure whether you are pregnant.

If you're not, then you need to look at your marriage and decide whether it's right for you (which realistically it's not)

If you are, I'm afraid that this situation is going to force you make hard decisions, unless he suddenly has a change of heart. And I'm afraid the only way to tell him is to just sit him down and say that you're pregnant. Then you'll have to make your decision as to whether you stick by him, or deal with the baby.

Whatever happens, I think you need to re-address this marriage. If he doesn't want kids and you do, this will be a disaster whatever happens.

You need to find out whether you're pregnant, and then just tell him.
