My wife doesn’t want children and I do?
Question by Rosario: My wife doesn’t want children and I do?
I’m 29. I’ve been married to my wife for a few years. While we were dating, she said she wanted children. Now, that I’ve approached the subject in the past year or so, she’s decided she doesn’t want children and cites one of her main reasons as ruining her breast implants and liposuction with weight gain from pregnancy. She was hellbent on getting those damn implants after her sister did because of this idiotic sibling rivalry thing she has going with her. And the liposuction was ridiculous because she wasn’t overweight. Her body was perfect beforehand. Anyway, before we got married, we decided around this age, we’d have our first child. I don’t want to divorce my wife because I love her and in my culture, divorce is just something you don’t do. I have a close friend who’s an older woman and she’s not married and she wants to have children. She threw the idea for me out there on the table a few months ago but I didn’t think anything of it because I was sure my wife would get over plastic surgery and it was just a phase because of her sister but she’s not swaying at all. She’s actually considering getting bigger implants instead. I was considering my friend’s offer because she said she would keep it a secret about me being the father and she’s willing to let me see the child because she wants the baby to have a father. Would it be completely wrong and horrible to do that or am I just being selfish? Could it work? Please help. Thanks.
I don’t have a problem supporting the child. And my wife doesn’t seem to have an interest in children in general. We have physical custody of my neice right now and she’s honestly, not very attentive to her. Yes, I probably overdote on my niece but my wife doesn’t even keep an eye on her half the time. I’ve seen my friend around my niece before and other children and she’s completely different and children just seem to flock to her. I honestly wouldn’t feel comfortable leaving a child, much less an infant, alone in my wife’s care unless she had a very serious attitude change.
I didn’t “let” her get implants. I tried for a year to hold her off on getting them and she finally just said she’s getting them regardless of what I want or think of her.
I’ve even suggested adoption or a surrogate mother and she’s shot that down as well. I don’t think she’s very interested in having children at all. Had I known she didn’t want children, I might not have married her. Part of the reason I fell in love with her was because she wanted everything I wanted family-wise. Now, it’s completely different.
Infidelity is only infidelity if I have sex with my friend and technically, that’s not required. I don’t believe my friend would out me or blackmail me. She’s determined that she wants her child to have a father that will love it. That’s why she refuses to just go to a sperm bank and have a child on her.
My wife told me she was thinking about getting sterilazation. That’s what has really thrown me over the edge with thinking of something else.
Tabo, I don’t have to actually have sex with my friend to have a child. Also, she knows how much I wanted children when we got married. Had she not wanted children, adopted or otherwise, I would not have married her. I want to be a father and I wanted my wife to be the mother of my children. I deeply love her but I’ve held up everything I promised I would as a husband. I support her, I love her, I would do anything for her, but she completely changed after she got plastic surgery and went on this whole “perfect looks” thing when I thought she was beautiful before.
My wife does not want to go to a therapist or get professional help. She’s completely halted on the subject 110%. I’ve tried basically everything I could think of. A few weeks ago, she said she wanted to get her tubes tied. She doesn’t want to adopt. She doesn’t want to use a surrogate. So I don’t know what to do otherwise.
