Scenario

When family pressure around childbearing creates relationship strain

My mother-in-law keeps asking when we're going to give her grandchildren and my husband just deflects instead of telling her we've been trying unsuccessfully for three years, so I end up being the bad guy who's 'not ready' while dealing with fertility treatments she doesn't know about.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Protecting family from painful truths can leave one partner bearing both the medical reality and the social burden of secrecy.
