Husband says he's "not ready"

[Aria]

A big thank you to everyone who responded. Everyone has made really good points.

I guess I'm just going to have to wait until he feels ready. He's brilliant with kids. I come from a large family so they're are always babies and toddlers at family gatherings. I've seen him reading them books despite the fact there not old enough to understand. When I pointed out it was time to give the 6 week old baby he was holding back to her mother, he held her tighter and declared she was his now. It will be our baby some day. Just not any time soon.

I'm glad to hear that you will wait until he's ready. Once you back off, he might start thinking about what it would be like instead of thinking about being nagged. Yeah, guys think we're naggers. The seed is there. Let it grow on its own now.

I pushed my honey and he pushed back, then I laid off and within a couple months, after he had time to think about it WITHOUT me nagging, he decided he did feel ready after all.

So just give him time, he WILL come around.
