When couples face infertility and different coping mechanisms

My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for three years and every month feels like a small death, but we've started grieving differently and I feel like we're becoming strangers in our own tragedy. He wants to keep trying and I'm not sure I can, but we can't seem to talk about it without one of us shutting down.
