Scenario

When couples face fertility challenges and different coping styles

My wife and I are both ambitious people who've always supported each other's careers, but now that we're trying to have a baby and it's not happening easily, we're finding that our usual problem-solving approach doesn't work here and we don't know how to be with something we can't control. We're starting to handle uncertainty in completely different ways and it's creating distance between us.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people accustomed to agency and control must learn to navigate powerlessness together while their different responses to uncertainty threaten their connection.
