Dear Queenie,
My husband and I got married just after high school. At that time he said he didn’t want to have any kids and I agreed with him. But that was many years ago, and now I want to start a family and he still doesn’t want kids.
He says if I get pregnant he’ll divorce me and he’s planning to have a vasectomy so he can be sure if I get pregnant it isn’t his baby. I can promise you I won’t get pregnant with anyone else’s baby, I only want my husband’s children.
I tried to get him to go to counselling with me, but he won’t go. I just can’t imagine being with any other man, or not ever being a mother for the rest of my life.
Queenie, help!—Discontented
Dear Discontented,
If your husband will not go with you for counselling go by yourself. You have an important decision to make and clearly need help in doing so, much more help than I can give you in this column.
