I’m in my mid thirties and have been trying for a baby with my husband for awhile now. I’m feeling devastated because he often delays trying during the optimal window, and when I express how much it hurts me, he seems frustrated or pulls away instead of comforting me.
This isn’t the first time this has happened, and it’s making me feel completely alone in this process. I’ve always imagined starting a family with someone who shares the urgency and excitement I feel, but right now it seems like our priorities don’t align.
I’m struggling to cope with the heartbreak, grief, and frustration, and I’m looking for advice or support from anyone who has been through something similar. How did you manage the emotional toll of trying for a child when your partner wasn’t fully present?
