My partner and I have been trying to get pregnant for two years and every month when it doesn't happen, we comfort each other but also retreat into our own disappointment in ways that are making us feel more alone together. We both want this so badly but we're grieving on different timelines and I don't know how to bridge that gap.
More people experience this than they realize.
Shared longing can become isolating when partners process disappointment at different rhythms.
