Husband refusing to have children

Q: I'm Married for the last one and a half year. My husband doesn't want a child for the next couple of years. He loves me a lot. But only this thing is unbearable for me. As I'm too passionate for having a child. We are not using any pills for this but we are using protection methods. I've started wondering that I will cheat him and will damage the protection. So in this way will accidentally get pregnant. I hope he will not be able to do anything in this case. But I love him so much and I am wondering that if this is cheating and Allah will not forgive me for this. Please let me know what should I do.

Husband referring to the wife as partner

Q: I just wanted to let you know that me and my husband both are British citizen. We are married and registered by the Islamic law,and completed our aqd in the mosque.we also have a Muslim marriage certificate. By the way,we did not register our wedding ceremony under the law of Britain. Some people say you have to register and some says that the Islamic marriage certificate is enough and we are legally married. The thing is,my husband always calls me as a "partner" instead of "wife". Even in council or doctor matters,he always says "my partner".it sounds a bit odd and upsetting to me that where Allah has made us husband and wife why do you have to hide that for? He got angry either me that I don't know the law system and he has to call me partner otherwise they would check if we are married under the British law or not.and he says that it's not important to call each other husband wife. My question is,is it right what he says?because I think it's some kind of morality and the word partner doesn't include in morality because that's what girlfriend boyfriend or lover says when they stay together without getting married. I feel so ashamed when my husband calls me partner but he doesn't seem to think this seriously. Is it right that he is calling me partner?

Suicide

Q: I was forced for a marriage, I never wanted to marry this man. So I consumed 120 sleeping pills. Unfortunately I did not die but due to the effect of the medicines I was not fully conscious. Under the influence of medicines my nikaah took place. I do not remember any single event of that day. Is my nikaah valid?
