Our plan was 2-3. Give it a little time after 1. I am starting to like the idea of an 18 year old at 45 and no other kids behind him.

Every time you have the sects, don't pull out. Birth control is not 100% effective and you have odds say may conceive. In this case DPIIHB.....

Grounds for divorce? Sure, but is that a requirement these days?

The response would depend on the woman. If she is religious, question her faith in God's will and/or get her pregnant anyway knowing abortion is off the table.

If she's atheist, appeal to her self-proclaimed superior logic and intelligence, stating that the world deserves more of her genius babies.

If she is conservative, put on the serious face and tell her this may not be reconcilable, due to your strong desire for a son and multiple kids. The bluff will work.

If she is a liberal, go ahead and leave her, because A) neither your kids nor your wife share your name anyway, and B) abortions or like spa days to them.

I think the words in bold show us all you might be dumb enough to do it. Thankfully, the OP tells us that if you are then you'll be back to share all of the popcorn worthy details.

The discussed plan was to have a son, and several children (2-4).

Yes. But how old is the child? If she's not changing her mind after many years (first kid is in 1st grade) and you really want another kid then that's your choice. Don't listen to those who think your demands of a fulfilling marriage are selfish or brutish. Having kids is a fundamental part of marriage and why we are on this earth. Not to say its for everyone and I would certainly discuss wholeheartedly with the wife first. But if that's your desire in life, then go for it. You don't get a second shot at life.

Consider yourself lucky. Babies suck, it's not an enjoyable stage. Post potty training they start to get fun.
I have 1 now and carrying on the family name was a big deal for me, so I certainly see your stance on that.

As far as divorce, your call. Most men won't agree with you on that, however women have no shame in dropping a man that doesn't want to impregnate them.

I was named after my ancestors (first, middle, and last all have relevance in my family) and would love my name to be carried forward with a son.

Still not grounds for divorce. Love your kid.

Wife didn't bare a son? Why not just start your own church?

Maybe your daughter will turn out to be a bull dyke and you name will live on when she and her life partner adopt a child from Zimbabwe.

Just had my first daughter, frick having another kid, I'm done. Wife had a hard pregnancy that included pre eclampsia with her blood pressure spiking to 230/100 something. Severe hot spots with the epidural. shite was not fun and I have no interest in seeing my wife being that close to a stroke again.

Wife is pretty sure she doesn't want anymore as well.

Neither of ours were planned. But they're about 5.5 years apart. Girl first, then our boy. Give it a little time. My wife doesn't think she wants anymore any time soon, but we haven't ruled it out. Now that she stays at home instead of working it isn't a big deal financially as far as daycare and all that. If she were still working there's no way we could have another right now.
