Ask a Man 25 July '25: 'My partner doesn't want me to risk my health in order to have babies.'

Anonymous and her partner have been together for 10 years and they’ve been married for about 3 of those years.  She has a mental illness and she has relapsed a few times over the duration of their relationship, and the last relapse she had was as a result of her pregnancy.  They now have one child together and she would like to have another child, as that was their plan, but her partner is not sure if having another baby is worth destabilising anonymous’ mental health.
