I am 31 years old and married a wonderful man 2 years ago who is 41. He has a 17 and a 19 year old which he worked 2 and 3 jobs at a time to support and provide them with everything they ever wanted. In addition, he did all the housework, cooking, and "taxi-ing" often going days without sleep. As a result of his failure to slow down, he had a massive heart attack 6 years ago which permanently disabled him but still left him being "Mr Mom" to his children and their mother. Now his daughter has recently left for college and his son will soon be through with high school. I don't have any children and have always wanted them but I'm not sure it's fair to him to have to raise a family all over again even under very different circumstances. He doesn't object to having more children but frequently talks of how wonderful it will be when it's just me and him so I know he'd rather not have anymore. I don't think I have to have children to be happy but would like one of my own. Advise??
