Please, please don't trick him..  Sit down and write fors and againsts on a piece of paper and that you can afford another (if that is correct) - he will come around to it in the end.  And just tell him your child will have a playmate.  "Tricks" on small issues are excuseable but you don't want to bring a child into this world that is un'wanted by one parent.  Your hubby would probably guess that you did not take precautions and it may cause a rift in your marriage.

Some marriages have dissolved for far lesser things, so I suggest not resorting to any tricks.

Sorry... hit the enter button too soon.

I was just going to add that a child deserves to come into the world out of love. It is unfair for the child to be the cause of any possible rift between his/her parents. It may not end up this way... but I don't think it's worth taking the chance.

trick him

if you did that you would have to live with the guilt of tricking someone that you love that trusts you ,, you dont want any skelatens  in the closset .

i would have to also agree with others it wouldnt be a good thing to do for either of you

sit down with him and write down why you want another child and how you say you both will be able to afford it etc sometimes when its written down and right in frount of you both you will be able to see if what you want could be possible or worked towards .

find out why he dosent think its a great idea right now ,he also could have a valid point you just never know , he might also see the reasons as to why you think you both will be able to offord another baby right now ,, good luck and all the best

I think that tricking someone into something like that is probably the worst thing you could do. Imagine how you would feel if you found out that you were tricked by your husband into something? A good relationship needs honesty and tricking someone into something like that isn't very honest. Think about how much you love him. Do you really want to hurt him like that?

trick him
What ever u do dont trick him as u will loose him and the child will have 1 parent that they live with and that will be hard on the child u need to think bout the child feelings as i dont t think u are as u will trick the father and he may resent thr baby so that means a very difficult realtionship with the father and that can lead for the child to grow into a adult very bitter-i mean single parenting is very hard alone i was single with my son and i find it inpacted alot on him too.So please reconsider as u dont want to b alone and the childeren need they father around and this situation can be advoided if u sit back and have a think-also ask the father on why he feels that way as they may be personal isues that u and your partner need to sort out before even thinkig bout another child-even he might not want anymore its a sitaution where you and him need to sit down and talk bout it calmly well best of luck with it all

No, I dont think that would be very nice. Tell him how much one more child would mean to you give it time you never know... ask him if he has any other worries about having more kids? best of luck

I really believe that any woman who would trick a husband & try to fall pregnant deliberately disregarding his wishes is doomed to have a failed marriage... These decisions need to be made together. If you want to stay married I would abide by his wishes IF in fact you really do love your husband.

Hi there, I really don't think tricking your husband is the right thing to do. Have you sat down with him and explained everything you're feeling, and gone through all the pros and cons? If not, I suggest you do that with him but once again tricking him is not nice. In my opinion it is rather mean to do that to someone. Good luck with everything.

trick him

I would just like to say that if you trick him and fall pregnant it could lead to a lot of resentment towards not only you but also towards the new child. That would be very unfortunate. Turn the situation around and think about if you did not want another baby and hubby did ... What if he pretended to be "fixed" and pretended to not be able to have babies .... Then he impregnated you ... You not wanting that ... How would you feel ? I would say that you would feel something like betrayel and trust in your spouse ... And probably some resentment towards the new baby ...

I know that at 34 a man is not too old to have a baby ... my hubby is 47 (I am much younger) and we have now our fifteen month old ... However, (not knowing the entire situation) ... it seems your mate might have deeper concerns that need to be addressed ...

Ironically, my hubby wants another and I say we can not afford it ... some financial concerns are more diaper, formula and baby expenses, but I also look at the big picture. I am already fretting over how we are going to afford college education for our just now fifteen month old ... Lots and lots and lots of things to think about when bringing little ones into the world ...

I pray you do not trick hubby but that you will work out something that you and hubby and your current child can live with for the next twenty years ...

Best of wishes to you ...

Playing with fire when you play those little tricks... I would not trick him because if he found out you did this I am sure he would be most upset that you did trick him and his trust in you might just go out the window.

But If you do decide to trick him then I wish you the best of luck..

But my vote would still be on no..
