and others who were/are in a similer situation.
After your wife had OM's OC, did she offer to have more children of your own?

RAG,
Yes, she did offer to have more children of "my" own.
We didn't do it (I didn't have a need, and when you're still dealing with marital issues additional children usually aren't "solutions"), and my wife had a stroke that rendered the decision of "no more children" medically necessary.

K,
Thanks for your reply.
That was an issue in my first marriage. After our second child, she decided she didn't want any more, while I did. Five years later, she gets pregnent with OM's OC. After the birth of the baby, she once again didn't want any more of my children.
Like you, I love that daughter as much as my other two. She is 35 now and has four children of her own.
Even after all these years, I still have anger and hurt by 1st wife's actions. Of course, there is more to my story with her; however, that is the issue which is of concern for this board.
