Resolved Question

My birthday is in a few months and I am already dreading it. It's always the same. My husband will ask me what I want for my birthday and I will say nothing. To explain this I will say I always wanted to have my own baby and being I am sterile and my husband refuses to adopt saying I want a baby upsets him and he yells at me. I am also a dog person and due to living in my husband's new house I am not permitted to have any pets so my saying I want a pet is out of the question. I don't understand the logic of a man that would ask me what I want only to say 'NO'. I also get annoyed that my husband invites his parents and sons from a previous marriage to a party he throws for me and I have to *act* like I enjoy their company and the gifts they give me. Am I out of line for trying to ditch my birthday this year? I'm thinking of going to the movies and just avoiding this situation.

Can I ask YOU a question?
Do you really want to be with this guy for the rest of your life if some of the most important things to you, don't seem to matter to him? I am not advocating you leave him, I believe marriage should be a sacred commitment, not lightly thrown to the side. But, having a child, or wanting a child is something that is a huge deal to someone. If you aren't wanting the same things out of life, aren't you just going to resent it later when it's too late to do anything about it?
I can't say that my marriage is a bowl of cherries, but we want the same basic things in life and that makes it a bit easier to try to keep it together. But if he didn't want the same important things in life, than it would be a waste of time for both of us.
Best of luck to you.
