Sorry if this is disjointed. Throwaway because my bil follows my main.

This morning he admitted that he has been trying to get me pregnant because I am getting older, and he doesn’t want me to regret my choice like those other women. (my bfs near exact phrasing.) I have always been clear about my boundaries. No carrying. Pregnancy terrifies me and I’ve always wanted to adopt anyway. I was considering fostering before I even met my bf 4 years ago. I have been trying to get a partial hysterectomy for a couple years, but my doctors have been giving me the ring around. I also admittedly second guess myself when I found out the majority of my family on both sides have had anesthesia awareness two have been have been in therapy for ptsd from it. So I have hesitated this past year, and might decide against it. We were married in October. This only came up because I have been feeling like sick. I thought I had the flew and have only just been feeling better recently, and I told him I was going out to my friend’s bachelorette. He asked if I was going to be the DD and got mad when I said no. He said I shouldn’t be drinking when I’m sick. I told him I was fine. I was at him because he was being what I thought was silly. Until he dropped the fuck bomb what if you’re pregnant? I can’t take birth control for hormonal reason btw, only the copper iud which I got put in and removed the same day in the er because it had shifted already and was causing me intense pain. I ask him why he thought that—if a condom had broke. I was wracking my brain and then he just started to cry and told me we didn’t have the money for adoption and that he hadn’t been using a condom the last few times we’d had sex.

He is still crying. I’m am siting on the toilet. I don’t know what to say.

He said told me everything he’s read is that women regret not having children.

I think he genuinely believes he was doing me a service, but I’m not sure because he’s also crying. It honestly sounds like he is having a breakdown.

How do I navigate this? Is this something that can be navigated? I literally thought this man was the love of my life. I just told my sister how how stupidly happy we were yesterday.
