I want a baby and now my husband doesnt.?

Bwfore we got married, we discussed having children and agreed that we both wanted a family. Now I have strong yearnings to have a child but my husband has decided it isn'tfor him. what do I do? I won't force someone who doesn't want a kid to have one, but we agreed we would before we got married. Why would he change his mind suddenly?

Update:

When I've asked him all I get as a response is "I don't know...baby's smell and cry too much" Mind you, he is 32 years old.

    After gaining experience from marriage, he has decided that one or both of you are unsuitable as parents.

    before we got married, my husband and i agreed to have a baby right away, he so much wanted one. after we got married, of course we went thru an adjustment stage, for a few months we fought a lot. it was to the point when my husband wanted a divorce. now we are working things out, working on our marriage and my husband wants to give it a little time before we bring a baby into this world. even if he didnt say it, i know that he wants to be sure that we work our problems out first . he is the kind of man who would give 100% even to fathering a child. maybe your husband is unsure of the situation right now, maybe he wants to give it more time. give him a few months more and then talk about having a child again. if he is against it, then take it from there.

    He's probably thought it through a little more.

    If he doesn't want a baby i'd say just wait, dont create unneccesary tension and resentment by expecting him to have a baby.

    He'll want children in due time, just be patient.

    You aren't getting any younger tho, if he doesn't want children within like 5 years, i'd reccommend a divorce, or some serious talking with him.

    you both should take time out and discuss this..may be he is too worried about the life after the parenthood...may be he doesn't want romance between you and him to get divided...You should tell him that there is nothing like being a father...tell him the cute little one can changy our thinking and the way you both look at the world..

    I think you should first focus on your last question. What did change? Maybe he is scared and you could tell him that everyone feels this way... But maybe there is something different in your relationship now... You must understand what is going on and if it is something that could be solved or not.

    He ought to help some which includes your son. some adult males, nonetheless, are uncomfortable with little toddlers. i do no longer understand in the event that they are terrified of "breaking" the little toddlers or what. yet i wish which you and your husband can come to an settlement and share accountability. perhaps you're able to desire to ask your husband what he might sense soft doing for his son. perhaps he would desire to decide for to do one or 2 issues which includes feeding, or bathing, or washing toddlers outfits, or retaining and chatting with toddler, or taking toddler for a journey in vehicle (now and returned this might calm toddler). you're able to nicely be waiting to think of of alternative issues your hubby would desire to do. If I have been you, i might lovingly supply my husband a itemizing of issues he would desire to do to "help his son". enable your husband decide for a pair issues from the record that he might sense soft doing. good good fortune and congratulations on your attractive kit deal of excitement.

    ask him maybe he doesnt feel secure/ settled down enough, it might just be that he doesnt want to bring a child into this world and not give it the best life possible
