Also, one of the functions of couples counseling is to tell your story. How you reveal your story, and your own desires, is revealing and important.

Thank you for calling her out on her statement: "I only have an heir, not a spare." I found her implication (that an only child is somehow more valuable than siblings) quite objectionable.
