My husband doesn't want kids, but I do. Help!
Q: When my husband and I married, we didn't want kids. Now I've changed my mind, but he hasn't. Help!
A: Whatever you do, don't get pregnant if your husband isn't on board-it's likely to lead to anger, arguments and even divorce. Start by discussing the issue. If your conversations confirm that your husband has no interest in parenthood, don't suppress your desire for a baby to stay together; growing resentment could quietly tear you apart. Instead, see a marriage therapist to continue the dialogue and figure out the best way to build a future you'll both be happy with.
