This is not a WAS situation. This is completely different. If he wants to convince her he’s serious and committed and actually interested in having a child with her, he needs to pursue. She’ll be testing him to see if he’s genuine or of this is just because he’s lonely at the moment.
BTW, my personal opinion is that he should accept it and move on. I don’t think children should be brought into the world by parents who are ambivalent, and most of what I’m hearing is not that he desires another child, but that he doesn’t want to let her go.
