MH rave

MH gets major props.

Yesterday, I broke down. I usually try to hold it in to spare him some of the stress, as he's been feeling the financial pinch this month (he's started his last run of field work and the schedule means he can no longer work his part time job). But yesterday, I was trying to explain to him what had happened with my collapsed ovarian cyst and he just was in his own little world and not letting me talk about it at all.

I finally just started crying which threw him for a huge loop-- I don't cry about real stuff, usually (just dumb commercials and sappy moments on TV).

He came through big time. He went out and picked up some comfort food for dinner for us, as well as my favourite ice cream. He made a point of telling me how much he loves me and appreciates that I'm going through all this on my own (since it's my body).

Then this morning, he made a point of texting me a couple times to repeat it all.

At least if I'm going to have to face the possibility of not having kids, I know I'll have a life partner who will make it bearable and maybe even enjoyable!

I had given him the head's up that it was looking like I was finally going to ovulate this week and that there would be a lot of BDing in our future. Well I got my + OPK last night and he started throwing out all these excuses..."I'm tired, ate too much dinner, just had a beer" and needless to say I got an I.O.U. for tonight instead. Which isn't really the end of the world because we did BD the night before & the day before that so tonight will make sure we are still in the game. It was more the principle of it. He has one main job in this and everything else falls on me. And having PCOS I don't ovulate every month so when it does finally happen we can't afford to slack off because who knows when it's gonna happen again. Normally he's pretty supportive and I think it may have been a case of the pressure causing some performance anxiety but I just got really frustrate.

Thanks for letting me vent.

I think you should explain to him that you know this woman on the board that has her husband perform EVERY. SINGLE. NIGHT. from the day her period ends to the day after she ovulates-- i.e. 15 nights in a row-- no matter what either of their moods are like. That's his role in this. That and to take his vitamins. That should put his couple nights in perspective! LOL

Or you could make him wear a postal uniform, because he needs to deliver the goods and "neither rain, nor sleet, nor slow, etc. will keep him from his appointed rounds." Heh heh heh...

Seriously, though, MH doesn't get why men complain about it "feeling like a job" or "performance anxiety." He says "it's sex! How do they not want to have sex with their wives all the time?!? It feels great!" Come to think of it, I don't think he understands that I don't always want to have sex every night, two-three times! He'll ask right afterwards if I want to go again. What a nutter!

I've got one of these at home as well. It just makes things a whole lot easier to handle.

DH even went as far as to try to schedule a business trip to Asia next month (with a team of 10) based on when my predicted ovulation schedule. Course since I don't know what the heck is happening with my cycle post mc I wasn't able to predict anything.
