My husband and I are a young couple. We got married when he was 26 and I was 23. After dating for a long time, we decided to get married with the approval of our families, and we had a civil wedding. We’ve been married for three years now, and we’re both hardworking individuals. My husband is a businessman, and I’m a school teacher. We made a pact that we wouldn’t have a child in the first two years of our marriage so we could work hard, save money, and not be stressed during the childbearing period......See Full Story>>.....See Full Story>>
Things went well for my husband, and he started making good money in the first two years of our marriage. We even opened an account for a future child. We also agreed to have just one child so we could provide well and save a considerable amount for our child’s future. We prayed for it, and I eventually became pregnant. We were overjoyed when I confirmed my pregnancy with a test. However, a few weeks later, I went for a scan and was told by the doctor that I was carrying triplets. This was not part of our plan, and I decided not to tell my husband about it.
Now, I’m seven months pregnant, and my husband has been noticing the significant growth of my belly. He asked me about it, and I told him I wanted to surprise him with the news that I was carrying triplets. His reaction was unexpected. He slapped me, which he had never done before. He demanded that I get an abortion because we had agreed on having only one child, and he doesn’t want to add to our suffering.
I’m suffering in my home, and there is no peace with my husband since I broke the news. I’m not sure what to do. Please, can you offer some advice?
