NTTGP any advice? No motivation and stressed out!!

in Trying to Get Pregnant
I have 0 motivation to temp or use OPKs this cycle. We have had the worst week. First, we made an offer on a house which was verbally accepted because it was a Sunday and the seller would sign the paper on Monday. Well come Monday, a better offer came in and the seller accepted it. Since ours was only verbal, she could basically say screw you and her word didn't mean anything. That same night we got a letter from our landlord increasing our rent $150/month. My husband called today to ask why. My husband told him last week we were thinking of buying a house but would let him know when we actually found something and would give our notice (which I kind of yelled at my husband for doing this and we shouldn't have said anything until we were sure but my DH thought he was being nice to give him a heads up). Well the landlord said he raised our rent because my husband came across arrogant. I guess because my husband worded it like "I'll let you know when we get serious and let you know 30 days before we are outta here". Our landlord is normally a great guy. He has always been sensitive but we had no idea this much. Sorry for ranting but I have no motivation to temp, use OPKs or anything. We are still having sex but this stress is just horrible. Anyone else have months like this? Or anyone have any advice for my situation? My landlord lives right behind us in another house and we see him daily. It is now weird and we aren't sure what to do. It just sucks that he felt the need to raise our rent 30% because he didn't like my husbands tone for 1 sentence.

    Your landlord sounds like an ass. I hope you find your dream home soon... it sounds like life owes you a break. GL!

    You can take a month off temping and OPKs if you want (obviously.) Consider if it will increase or decrease your stress level.

    How long do you have before the rent increases? I take it you're in a month-to-month rental?

    It increases Oct 1. Our 1 year lease was up in June and then it went month to month. We were supposed to close on the house that fell through Oct 8.

    Thanks, that made me feel a lot better. This board is so helpful when you just need to vent.

    So because your DH came across arrogant he is raising your rent. What a prick! We had something like that happen to us last year. We listed our townhome thinking it would take forever to sell and 8 days later someone made an offer we never thought we would get so we had to move. We had 2 weeks to get out and I had a 2mth old baby. We had nowhere to live and ended up having to rent a house for 8mths. We had an offer on a house that we LOVED and it ended up falling through. I was devastated. We kept looking and came across our dream home which we are living in now. So everything happens for a reason. Keep looking for a house and you'll come across something hopefully soon and you won't have to pay him the extra rent for too long. Best of luck!

    thanks! I'm hoping that happens to us. I am trying really hard to remind myself that something good will come of this!

    Wow, your landlord sucks, do you have it in writing that your rent increased due to arrogance?

     I wish. We just had a letter that said it was increasing. We didn't know why until we called. I guess he can do whatever he wants since it is now month to month but he is still a jerk
