TTC After a Loss 6 Months+

Where is your DH at?

Hope wise I mean.

 

My Dh is full of hope.  Instead of being endearing, or contagious, it's getting on my last good nerve.  I wish he would just wake up to reality.  Although if he did, I may not like that either.

  • Mine flip flops as much as I do.  I get more annoyed when he is in his not hopeful stage and thinks we should give up when I'm ready to move forward. All in all though I think he is realistic and just some days are good and some days aren't.

  • My dh has always been  the strong silent type and he actually made a comment last week that stopped me in my steps.  He said "Knowing our luck this isn't going to work anyway".   I was a bit taken aback because he's never said anything one way or another but I always assumed he had unwavering optimism.....it kind of opened my eyes a bit.
     
    Maybe in a way your dh is trying to help you hold on to hope by keeping the faith, because I guess I would have to choose which is worse having him be full of hope or having him lose it.    ((((hugs))))
  • Optimistic and patient. Both things I am not. He says it's going to happen soon. Right.

  • very hopeful..he told me the other day that he thinks it's gonna happen very soon.  I don't have the heart to break his..
  • DH doesn't really show any hope or anything. I think because he knows my body is so F'ed up and that I feel bad enough because it is my fault we're not getting pregnant. He's patiently waiting.

  • ha, funny, I just wrote a blog entry about this. He's way more hopeful than I am. But, then again that's not saying much these days. Luckily he does indulge my debbie downer side occasionally. but he's totaly delusional about our odds of success. poor guy. the higher they fly,the harder they fall.
  • He is always 100% confident that it'll happen.  He doesn't seem to get discouraged by all the roadblocks.....

  • Mine is of the more hopeful variety too.  He really can't understand why I am not more positive and makes me feel bad about that fact (not intentionally.)  I find it annoying as sh!t, but then again, I am just as irritable and angry as they come, so this isn't really surprising.

    This sounds an awful lot like Sean.

  • I think he's feeling down because his SA results weren't great, but overall he's still hopeful. He still prays often and I'm unable to even think about that so I guess he's in a better place than me.

  • Mine just keeps saying things like, if only you'd relax... all that BS that we hate to hear.  Mostly he just goes with whatever mood I'm in, but then comes out with these gems here and there   Huh?

  • My dh is much more hopeful then I am. He used to be much more positive, but the second loss really took that out of him. I sometimes wish he was as hopeful as he used to be, even though it was annoying at the time it did give me a little hope. Somedays it upsets me that he is bitter and depressed like I am. I just feel like I'm letting him down.

  • My DH is hopeful.  I want to be hopeful.

  • I don't know.  I think in general he's more hopeful.  I think he tries to be positive for me though.  I don't think that either of us have accepted that this might not happen - although I am closer to that realization than he is.

  • Mine is hopeful, although I can't tell if that's legit or if he's compensating for my sadness/defeatism lately.
