Money Fights & Baby Dreams: Am I Losing Myself? 😩

Last night, our cramped living room turned into a battlefield. My husband—let’s call him Jake—wants a baby more than anything, but I’m drowning in anxiety over our finances. Every time I point out his impulsive spending or suggest we actually stick to a budget, he accuses me of being a control freak. But the second I say I’m not ready for a child, he calls me selfish! My family keeps reminding me how expensive and exhausting kids are, and honestly, I’m terrified. I don’t want to destroy Jake’s dream of being a dad, but I’m scared of losing myself—or our savings—if we take this leap. Am I risking my marriage, my sanity, or both? Has anyone else survived this kind of tug-of-war? Please, I need your advice! 😵‍💫💔 #MarriageConflicts #MoneyMatters #ParenthoodDilemma #RomanticRelationships
