Good day friends.
I am a troubled husband looking for some much needed advice to get my family life back on track.
my wife and I (both of us in our mid 30s) have been together for 7 years and married for 5.
we are a lower middle class family and we both work full time.
Fortunately we have been able to maintain a healthy balance of our career and personal life and until recently I felt like we were cultivating a healthy and prospering relationship.
when my wife and I first started dating she knew that I was not interested in raising children. I told her I wanted a friend, a companion, a partner for life, not mother of my children.
at first she shared my vision and all was going well, but in November she casually told me she wanted a child and I asked her why she felt this way.
she said we have established careers and she wants to experience motherhood, etc
I told her I respect how she feels but I love my family the way it is and I do not have any interest in being a parent or raising children.
she got a bit disappointed but she let it go that day, but as time went on she has become much more insisting and she brings it up frequently.
I feel my wife's resentment manifesting itself in many different ways. She is growing distant from me and she is upset with me because "I am immature and selfish and I need to grow up"
I am still in love with her, how can I bring everything back to normal?
Regards
Jerry
