My partner and I have been trying to get pregnant for three years and every month when it doesn't happen we comfort each other but also retreat into our own grief. We've stopped talking about timelines or alternatives because every conversation feels like we're negotiating our future against each other instead of building it together.
More people experience this than they realize.
Shared dreams deferred can transform intimate partners into strangers grieving alone in the same bed.
“Where Are You with How long does grief last??”
