Scenario

When couples cope differently with fertility struggles

My wife and I have been trying to get pregnant for two years and we've started responding to each failure completely differently - she wants to talk about it constantly and I just shut down and can't handle any more conversation about timelines or treatments. We're supposed to be in this together but we're becoming strangers who happen to share the same devastating monthly disappointment.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The same loss is being grieved in incompatible ways, creating isolation within the relationship that needs shared healing.
