A thought came to my mind I really hope I am wrong. a*a, you mentioned that your OH made a gesture that showed how sorry he was and how much he loved you, I hope it wasn't promising you you could have another child together if indeed he had also said to you previously that he didn't want anymore children as this would be an utter most manipulative gesture. My apologies if I got carried away with my thoughts, I could just imagine a broken man desperate to regain his wife's love and trust making such a promise.0

No, it was a financial gesture. I know many won't think that's a big deal but it is. He took out a sizeable loan in his own name and paid off all my debts yesterday. I know I certainly wouldn't had taken out a big loan in my own name to pay off someone elses debts if I didn't love them or want to be with them.
To the poster above; another condition of showing me his trust is he has agreed to have the snip. A year too late granted and in reality as we didnt want any more children he should had done it after our child was born. Still hindsight is a wonderful thing but he's going to have it done now.0 -

So now you are OP or know her thoughts... You are extending yourself well beyond anything you've previously posted... I should congratulate you...
Can you tell us all your secret?0 -

although we can only comment on our own life experiences in relation to the given situation, most people are trying to help. As for bitterness depends on your viewpoint as to who is bitter.
Oh this is exactly why I posted... the misinformation about the situation and the biases you're showing are a joke...0 -
I do think your husband is trying to move forward positively and trying to make you feel secure with him and building trust again.
I would look into sperm storage before opting for the vasectomy, although I guess vasectomies could be reversed sometimes. For me, it wouldn't be the right time to make the decision - much too much up in the air - but I fully understand why you think it is. Are you certain that you wouldn't want another child in the future?:heartsmil When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because these weirdos are your true family.0 -

My nan would say you've got a good 5 years to go yet.
Is it my imagination or are you happier today?:heartsmil When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because these weirdos are your true family.0 -

Yes I'm happier and calmer today! I'd had a few drinks last night making the most of a childfree evening and was getting narked with people. But everyone is entitled to their opinions. I'm not a bad person; far from it and try to make everyone happy; maybe that's where I go wrong; always seeking approval. Believe it or not my counsellor thinks I have abandonment issues caused by my childhood which resulted in raising itself in more detail when my husband upped and left. So I guess some of the comments came close to the bone.0
