I am sorry to hear that things are not working out with your DH. Sounds like there is some underlying issue that he is not willing to discuss. I agree with you in turning it over to God. I could go into a long winded "sermon" on why another child would be beneficial to your son but I think all of the other ladies have pretty much covered it all. I will mention one thing to you, since your DH is a biological science professor...you and you DH aren't even producing enough children to replace the two of you after you are both gone. If everyone decided to only have one child during the duration of their lives, our society would dwindle to nothing. I think that it is very important to have well-adjusted, morally instilled children in this day and time. Yes, the economy is in a slump but it is nothing like the great depression. I do hope that he comes through this phase and that the two of you can come to a happy medium. ((HUGS)) Keep your chin up and good luck!
