When couples struggling with infertility lose emotional intimacy

My partner and I are trying to have a baby and it's been two years of failed attempts, and now we're treating each other like broken machines instead of people who love each other. We can barely make eye contact during what used to be intimate moments.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The shared grief of unfulfilled longing has created distance in the very relationship meant to hold that longing together.
