my husband persuaded me that only having one child was what we both needed and he had a vasectomy. I regretted it straight away. She is 13 now and our marriage is in a shambles. He feels so guilty and I feel so sad. We love each other but I cannot get it out of my mind and feel so lost.

We did discuss how many children we wanted. It was two. One day he came home and said that he wanted a vasectomy. He was happy with one child and did not want another. He said financially it was for the best. Because I was not working and he seemed so against having another I felt I had no choice. It wasnt until years later that he admitted he did not think our marriage was working. I was so angry that he did not admit that in the first place instead of taking such drastic action. I am from another country and my child was born in the states. He said he would fight me to the end to keep my child here. I have no family as such and feel very trapped. I get very depressed and my husband and daughter get on so well that I often wonder if it would be best to leave and let him raise her on his own. I truly believe that is what he wanted in the first place.
