Hi guys, I took a leap and broached the subject to my wife. I intended on giving her time to get back to me but she actually stuck to her guns and insisted that she didn’t want kids. She even told me that she’d known she didn’t want kids even before we met and just didn’t say anything and hoped that she would eventually get the itch and change her mind but she never has.
She is distraught and cried her eyes out, she accused me of lying to her that I’d told her she was enough for me that I didn’t need kids which I do not recall ever saying. She is walking around now like she is shell shocked. I didn’t actually cry that much, I feel in a daze, nothing feels real.
She did agree to going to counseling though and since this went way too fast for me, way beyond what I anticipated I have called a number of counselors to get an appointment tomorrow.
I don’t know what to expect, what’s going to happen. I feel like I’ve pushed my marriage over the edge and now we’re free falling.
