What should a husband do if he faces the following dilemma?
Me and my wife are 27 years old. We have been discussing whether to give birth to a baby or not. My wife has been bringing up this topic for the past few weeks. We are financially sound enough to take care of a child. However, I just don't want my wife to go through the tough period of pregnancy and the infinite pain of childbirth. I just can't bear to think about seeing my loved one in so much pain. Her career will also be derailed due to all this. I said this to her, she said that she will handle it, but the fear was evident in her voice and her eyes. I suggested adopting a child. She doesn't like that idea so much.
I find it extremely selfish on my part to let my wife go through such physical pain and career setbacks for giving birth to a child, while I just sit back and watch. Please tell me your opinions.
Edit: In the end, I will always respect her decision, and be with her through all that.
