So I have a friend [yes all my friends have Life1 issues ], she just found out she’s pregnant with her 3rd child. She has 2 boys already.
When she told her husband, her husband was very upset and has asked her to abort the baby. Of course she thinks it’s ridiculous as they can very well afford to have another child, she is young, and she hopes to get a daughter this time. Husband says he doesn’t want any more children as even the 2 they have get on his nerves. He’s a good provider and a nice husband, but this behavior has shocked her.
Now you can’t just go up to a doc and ask for an abortion but her husband actually got her the number of a private clinic that does those, so he seems pretty serious.
He's been good so far...they've been married 7 years and she's never complained about him. To us, they look like a normal couple with normal lives, but this is really strange.
Sorry to say but i think hes such a moron…there are ppl out there who are trying and dying to have a baby and here he is…forcing his wife to abort such a precious gift of Allah Almighty…i hope he realizes his mistake!
I think she should really try to convince her husband…there must be some way…if he is a “good” husband and is financially stable too…then there seems no excuse to get the abortion done!
If he was so adamant on not having any more kids he should have gotten a vasectomy. It's too late now. No birth control is 100%. I thought we learned that back in middle/high school.
Niks, let me send you a link. Ask your friend to pass it on to her husband.
I guess they had talked about not having more children, but she didn't know that her husband wouldn't accept it...see, I think I'm done with my 2, both hubby and I are satisfied with what we have alhamdullilah, but we both know that if God wants it to happen, it could, and we will accept it. I guess she didn't realize how much it'll upset him.
She should try to reason with him and make him come round. :/
In any case, she shouldn't get an abortion. Especially for the petty reason her husband gave her.
The dude here is being very honest about his feelings towards the issue. Both of them agreed that 2 was it. If he's pushed beyond his limits, which is where he seems to be at, he may not be able to continue being as good of a father he may be right now. Is it worth it to risk him turning into a bad father for all 3 kids? I don't think so.
Also, population is one of our biggest problems. I wouldn't know what it's like to have a baby and want more, but why don't you want to stop? Like someone mentioned in either this or the other thread that it takes more than money to raise a child well. And that includes a good father.
