Ug! DH vent!

Ok so sometimes I think my DH is bipolar or something.  Every once in a while he gets in these tiffs... today I called the RE office to start IUI #3 and afterwards the nurse transferred me to the receptionist to schedule an IVF meeting with the DR (assuming IUI #3 doesnt work- which will probably be the case).  Well I got the receptionists voicemail so I left a message and emailed DH to see if there was any time during that week that he couldnt do (its about 3.5 weeks away).  He was in a meeting so he didnt get my email until after the receptionist called me back and told me there was only one open appt that week (so regardless I was taking that appt).  When I emailed DH the appt time, I said "Its all they have, if you cant go its okay I will go alone- its just to discuss how IVF works"  And in return he got pissed that I booked "another appt without asking him" and has given me the silent treatment for the last 9 hours.  I cooked dinner and he refuses to eat it- he is making himself something now instead...  

I dont quite get it - he always says he doesnt care about going to anymore appts with the RE but at the same time I wonder if thats why he is angry (maybe he cant make it?) or if its just cuz i "defied him" by booking without his consent. (not like i had a choice)

99% of the time we are fine and happy (even with struggling with IF) but every once in a while I get Mr Moody.... Ug!

    I'm sorry.  That really stinks.  I think our DHs just have a different way of dealing with IF, and coping with not feeling in charge.  I hope he comes around!

    I agree with mrslovebug...  they have their own way of dealing with this stuff.  Sometimes my DH is really interested in everything that's going on and sometimes he zones out when I try to tell him things.  And then sometimes he gets frustrated with me for not sharing enough with him.  I think since it's not happening to them, they have a hard time dealing with it.  My DH likes to fix everything and he can't just fix IF.  I hope he comes around.
