If your spouse threatened to kick you off their insurance unless you agreed to have another baby with them, what would you do?

This 37-year-old man has been married to his 37-year-old wife for 13 years, and they have two little kids together. His wife desperately wants a third baby, but he doesn't at all.

His wife brings up having another child constantly and can't accept that he's not sharing this dream of hers. Also, he got snipped a year ago, and he's on his wife's insurance.

"...Now she’s saying unless I get a reversal she will drop me from her insurance (insurance is through her work). I can get insurance through my work, but it’s vastly inferior; copays are much higher, and it doesn’t cover as many services," he explained.

"I told her my mental health was in a bad place, and she responded, 'It’s about to get worse.' We haven’t been seeing eye to eye for a while now. I want to talk about things, and she often won’t give me the time of day."

"She will go in the other room, go to sleep, or just make me feel like I’m talking to myself. I’m seeing a therapist myself and brought up seeing a counselor together, and she told me it wouldn’t change her mind. My therapist said she sees narcissistic traits in how she treats me."

He's having a lot of additional issues with his wife, too. She never takes out the garbage, does dishes, or helps with yard work, leaving all of this to him.

His wife also pretty much makes him do all the cooking. She might clean every once in a blue moon, but it's so inconsistent that it irritates him.

He really hates that all of the household chores and responsibilities have fallen on his shoulders. When he asks his wife to pitch in, she complains that she's exhausted, but she's never too tired to do what she wants to do.

"I brought up the topic of splitting up, and suddenly she’s acting nice and doing all these things. I don’t know what to do; part of me wants a divorce, but we have kids," he continued.

He's still thinking a divorce is his best option, considering his wife is threatening to drop him from her insurance unless he gives her a third baby.

Yes, I think a divorce is in order. It's not acceptable for his wife to try to force him to do what she wants. She's not someone worth having another child with!

What do you think he should do?
