Just wanted to post a quick thank-you to everyone who sent hugs and PT my way over the last few days :) I spent some time offline to get ahold of my life again, and am back.
Apparently the (now ex-)SO had thought that he could handle having another child or two to keep me happy, but then started really questioning the motives for having more children. I have to agree with him--its not really fair to be bringing unwanted kids into the world just to keep your partner happy... and if I am going to have another kid, I want my partner to be just as excited about it as I am. So, we agreed that as long as I have a desire for having a baby, and he doesn't want to start "all over" (he has teens from his first marriage), it's kind of a doomed situation.
While I'm no where near pleased at this outcome, its better than finding out after I threw the birth control away, right?
So, again, thanks! It was wonderful to have so much support! :grouphug:
