Couple Struggles To Get Pregnant For Months, Husband Shocked When He Discovers The Real Reason Why
Wanting or not wanting children is one of the most clear-cut deal-breakers in any relationship, which is why most couples make a point to discuss it before things get serious—to avoid unnecessary heartbreak down the line.
This Redditor thought he had. Before getting married, he sat down with his wife and had that exact conversation, and they seemed to be on the same page about starting a family. So when the time came, they began trying for a baby. Months passed, but for some reason, she just couldn’t get pregnant.
That’s when he stumbled upon the truth and realized that the woman he loved had been hiding a pretty serious secret from him all along. Read the full story below.

I really don’t understand the YTAs. This was discussed before marriage: he said he wanted 4-6 children, she said that was too many so they agreed on 1-3 children. He didn’t insist on his position, he compromised. She says she changed her mind. She is certainly entitled to change her mind, no argument there, however she is not entitled to actively deceive her husband. If she had been honest, maybe they could have worked something out. But with that level of continuous and ongoing deceit, the marriage is over based upon the deceit alone. Although the way she went from agreeing to 1-3 children to not wanting children at all makes me suspicious that she wasn’t honest to begin with. Although whether she was fooling herself as well as her husband is unknown.

Poor communication. He wants lots of kids and I think she may have felt cornered. Doesn't excuse her for not saying anything though
