Her Husband Said He's Divorcing Her Because She Won't Give Him A Third Baby, So He Will Have One With Another Woman

If your spouse threatened to divorce you over not wanting to have another child, would you consider your marriage over and done with?

For 10 years, this 33-year-old woman has been married to her 37-year-old husband, and they have two kids together. Following both of her pregnancies, she's made the decision to get a tummy tuck as well as work done on her chest, since her body drastically changed after having kids.

Her husband encouraged her to get the surgery and paid for a portion of the required deposit. She's set to have the work done this October.

"Yesterday, after an argument (which had nothing to do with children), he told me he wants a divorce. He said one of the reasons is that he wants a third child, while I don't," she explained.

"I reminded him that after a tummy tuck, surgeons generally recommend not planning another pregnancy if possible, and that he knew this when he supported my decision to have the surgery. He claimed he didn't know."

"I told him that we already have two healthy children and asked him, 'If you divorce me because I don't want another child, what are you going to do? Have a baby with someone else?' He looked at me and said, 'Yes, exactly.'"

She left her loved ones behind and moved to a new country to be with her husband. She then raised two babies who are only 19 months apart in age all on her own, without any help from her husband or in-laws.

Their son has ADHD, as does her husband, and being a parent to a child like this is quite a challenge to wake up and handle every day.

She thinks that adding a third baby to the mix would leave her horribly overwhelmed. Also, it would take her attention and time away from their two kids who need her.

And finally, she has no interest in having a third baby at all, despite all of the valid reasons she has for wanting to stick to two kids.

"The problem is that the argument wasn't even about children. Almost every time we have a serious disagreement, he says he doesn't want this marriage anymore, that he's tired of it, and that he's unhappy," she continued.

"I'm heartbroken because after 10 years I feel worn out. I don't feel attractive anymore. I became a stay-at-home mother because I couldn't find work, and I have no financial security of my own."

"Meanwhile, he has a successful business, a nice car, and a group of friends he spends time with regularly. The balance of power in our relationship doesn't feel equal at all, and I feel trapped. I don't want a divorce, but I also don't know how to stay in a marriage where every argument ends with him saying he doesn't want to be with me anymore."

I think she has to hurry up and speak to a lawyer ASAP, because the writing is on the wall, and her husband is definitely going to dump her sometime soon if he repeatedly threatens to divorce her.

He already sees her as replaceable, since he thinks he can go have the baby he wants with another woman, so it really only is a matter of time until her husband leaves her in the dust, and she needs to prepare herself for when that day comes.

What advice do you have for her?
