Husbands done but I’m not

We currently have two boys who I love with all of my heart. But I know that I want one more. It’s not even that I want to “try for that girl” I would be happy either way. My husband says he is completely against it. (He was against having both of the others as well and neither were planned) I know that if we don’t at least try I will always regret/ think about the what ifs. What have you done/ would you do in this situation ?

I’m literally in the same situation. Husband was an adamant “no” on a third the last time I tried to talk to him about it. Unless you can somehow convince him to change his feelings on it, then I don’t believe there’s much else to do sadly. Another comment I’ll make is that maybe give it some time. Unless he is actively pursuing a vasectomy right now due to how strongly he feels about no more kids, maybe circle back to the topic in a year or couple years? Especially if your youngest is still an infant or young toddler. I know this is such a hard situation, trust me. It also doesn’t help that our youngest is very difficult. Another suggestion would be maybe writing out your feelings on paper and presenting it to him to read? Stating why a third baby would mean so much to you and listing all the benefits of having another baby. Also maybe list some of his good dad qualities to let him know that he would also be a great dad to the new baby as well. Sometimes it’s easier in writing 🤷🏻‍♀️
