(4,187 posts)The fact that some women might not love children and might not want to devote their lives to bearing and raising children scares the daylights out of many men and women. It seems unnatural to them. They think that if a woman is forced to bear a child, she will end up loving the child in spite of herself. Unfortunately, that's not the way things work. Some women (and men) are simply incapable of love, and if they have children, their children end up living lives of misery -- unless they're lucky, in which case they need decades of therapy to recover from the lasting pain of childhood neglect. (Don't ask me how I know this.)
I wasn't suggesting that you leave your husband. It sounds like he's misguided about some things, but no one is perfect. He's right about other things. And you're with someone you love. That is a precious thing.
