Dh is so clueless - but I love him :-)

So last night I gave DH a good piece of my mind about some of his habits (ie drinking too much and coming home late when we're supposed to be having TI). At this point I am sure it hardly matters (the TI I mean) b/c if it hasn't worked after 2.5 years its most likely not ever going to. But for whatever reason I feel like I have to at least try. I also told him that if I am going to go through all the stress and affects from the meds and all of that for upcoming IUIs in the next few months, the least he can do is stop drinking to ensure the best sperm possible.

He was all repentant, will shape up, won't do it again. blah, blah, blah (I actually felt a little bad for being so rough on him - just b/c I think about IF every second of the day doesn't mean he has to and he has really been working hard and is exhausted so if he wants to blow off a little steam with a beer or two he shold be able to).

So this morning he is drinking tea glass after glass and going on about how great it is. I said honey save me some. That is pomegranate green tea and I have to drink that like crazy to increase my cervical mucus (again - not like it matters at this point but I have to feel like I am doing SOMETHING while we wait for our IUI). So I guess he doesn't hear me correctly and he says "I can do that". I said do what, he says drink it liek crazy. I said "honey, I don't think its going to increase your cervical mucous". He looked really sad and said "why not"? I laughed, and laughed, and laughed before saying "honey, you don't have a cervix! Clueless!!!! He waw a bit emberassed as you might imagine. I think he jsut doesn't listen to what I say abymore when I talk about IF but instead jsut agrees to do whatever I'm asking because its the easiest route. Too funny! No honey - green tea will not EVER increase your cervical mucous!

Funny! He probably doesn't listen as intently as you would hope.....it's a man thing. My DH hates when I start talking about female body parts in a clinical way. LOL

Yes I think you're right in that he jsut doesn't listen. I used to get mad at him that when I was talking about IF related stuff he wold jsut randonly be like "what's for dinner" and chagne the subject. After a few meltdowns ("you never listen. you don't care about me and my feelings".) he has learned not to cahgne the subject. But I guess he obviously jsut sits there qietly thinking about who knows what - golf probably! Makes me think about that Fanta commercial where someone is going on and on and the other person is jsut smiling and singing "ma na mana" in their head. Good thing I love him (and yes, I am drinking lots of green tea today :-)
