Re:advice on counseling (also posted in sexual forum)

Take a look at Samonow's list of Thinking Errors. This guy sounds controlling and manipulative. He demonstrates no concern for her physical health, seems to have become suspicious and accusatory,almost to the point of delusional, withholds love and replaces it with hostility.

She expresses the opinion that he is acting irrationally, yet believes herself to be obligated to bear another child, perhaps to appease him. Hmmmm... does not seem like a good reason to have a child. And does she really think he'll be satisfied with "just one more?" And what if she experiences another debilitating pregnancy just at a time when her first born is starting to become mobile and get into things?

I'm sorry, but this sounds like an abusive relationship. That woman needs to be given "permission" to listen to her own common sense and stand up for what she wants and feels is sensible. A good lawyer willing to do pro bono for her wouldn't be a bad idea either.
