Dear MIMsters: Should I Stand My Grounds Or Succumb to My Husband’s Wants?

Hello Mimsters, I would like your advice or opinion on whether to stand my grounds or succumb to what my husband wants. I will be short and brief.

I dated this guy for about 3 years plus when along the line, I got pregnant and we had to get married.

My daughter is going to be 7 months now and he already wants me to take in again knowing fully well that we’re not financially capable to have a second baby. We are barely surviving with our first daughter, just managing, trying to meet up with our needs.

I am a serving corper and I have been depending on my allowee. Since we got married, he has not given me a penny for my up keep. I understand though that if he has, he will spend.

I  have been advising him to allow us wait until we are financially capable but he said no because age is no longer on his side. He is in his late 30’s.

Meanwhile, I am from a very comfortable family. I had everything at my disposal growing and went to a private university with my siblings.

The bone of contention here is, should I stand my grounds on having no more kids till we are financially capable or go with what he wants? Which is to rush having the 3 children that we intend to have and hope on God for the means to raise them. The truth is I really do not want to bring any more kids to this world to suffer or manage because I was not brought up that way.

  • Is he expecting God to come down from heaven and take care of the kids! ? Why is he trying to bring kids to the world to suffer? Please do not listen to him. Wait until you are financially stable to an extent.

  • Madam, raising a child is expensive especially when u want to give them a good start in life. There’s nobody competing with him for children o. U guys already have one. So I think u should wait till things get better.
