I'm clucky. I have a daughter, and I swar I'd never have another baby, as my partner all up has 6 kids. Our daughter is 7. It took a lot of convincing for him to agree to have a baby with me.
For about a year, having another baby has slowly become a deeper thought, and now it's come to that point of actually wanting to have another baby. I don't know how to bring this up with my partner, r of i even should. he's in his mid 40's and I know, without a doubt, that he doesnt want more kids.

If you guys have a healthy, respectful relationship this is definitely something you should be able to at least have a conversation about.
You probably need to pick your moment though, I wouldn't want such a serious conversation sprung on me just before heading out for work or when I was tired for example.
I think you should prepare yourself for a no though and what that looks like for you and your relationship going forward. I mean, is it a deal breaker?
Or is it something you can accept and move on from?
You don't need to have more of your own to use that maternal instinct. Be a great aunty to his other 5 if possible? Foster?
Deep down you know the right answer.
It’s worth talking about but he’s feelings also need to be heard. I don’t want a third but my husband does. Until we’re both a yes we will stick to two, it’s not fair on one person if they say no and their feelings are disregarded
