I have a real problem with your husband’s emotional blackmail. If he is demanding you have a 7th child or he will divorce you, do you really think he loves you and the 6 children you already have? Remind your husband if he divorces you, he will be paying child support for 6 children. Does he have any fucking idea how much money that is going to cost him?

Please talk to a marriage counselor and a divorce attorney.. just so you have an understanding of what you are facing. Any man who would threaten his wife and the mother of his 6 children with divorce if she doesn’t have a 7th baby, will leave you when you do anything that displeases him. What about baby number 8, 9, or 10? What else will he demand of you or threaten you with?

if you don’t want a 7th child.. and you do not even need a reason.. do not get pregnant thinking it’s going to save your marriage.

Maybe you should consider threatening him.. if he doesn’t have a vasectomy, you will divorce him and give him full custody of all 6 children.

I hate your husband.
