writes:My partner has 2 girls from a pervious marriage but I never had any children and I am 40 of age. His children came to live with us a year ago and it's I who look after them because he works away a lot. We love each other very much and enjoy an excellent love life. Now I want to have a child with him but he insists on not having another one. I do not want to regret in my later life for not trying to have a baby. Just the thought of leaving him breaks my heart. Also he is very scared of me leaving him for this as he doesn't have any family in the UK to support him.Please let me know if there are any ways to change his mind? Reply to this Question

 You need to try and tell him the advantages of having another child. He's thinking of the disadvantages financially first and foremost. Also, you need to remember that having another child will mean no social life and not a lot of time together for the first few years. Do you think your relationship is strong enough to cope with that? Weigh up the advantages as well as the disadvantages and let him see that it would make you feel complete. You would love to have HIS child, see what it looked like, nurture, love and look after it, see his daughter's interacting with it. Maybe if he sees just how much it would mean to you then he might come round.
