DH and I not doing so well

My H and I have been going through some personal issues for a while now and unfortunately it seems like things are getting worse and not better. Maybe it's a good thing I'm on a break this month...I may be on a break indefinitely here for a while to see if we can get back to a good place, I definitely don't want to go forward in TTC until we're there. I hope you ladies don't mind if I continue to lurk and post while we're on hiatus.

    Are you seeing a counselor together? We have been since we lost the boys and it is really helpful. 

    I was seeing a counselor a few weeks back. My H came to one session. The counselor suggested my H seek individual counseling for some of his issues but so far my H has refused Sad He doesn't see the benefit of it but I'm hoping he'll change his tune sooner rather than later.

  • I'm so sorry hun, I can totally sympathze. DH and I have been having a rough go of it lately too and it just adds extra stress. Good luck and HUGS!
  • I'm sorry, I completely know how you feel as I often question if my DH and I are stable enough to even have children.  PM me if you ever need to vent.... Hang in there!!
  • IF can be very trying on a marriage.  DH and I were not on the same page in the very beginning, and it caused a lot of fights.  I feel like we also fought about more things that were non-IF related because we were just massively stressed out over our diagnosis.  We weren't reacting well to anything that got thrown our way. 

    Right now we are on a break trying to enjoy life together without children.  I thought I would hate it, but I have actually been embracing it.  Being on a break is nice because I can have my coffee and go out drinking a bit and take my ibuprofen without feeling guilty.  I just wanted to give you hope that a break can be very good mentally (and physically).  Sometimes it's just what the doctor ordered.  :)
