My partner and I have been trying to have a baby for three years and all our friends are either already parents or not interested in kids at all, and we don't know how to stay connected to people when we're living in this liminal space that nobody else understands. We've started avoiding social gatherings because everything feels loaded and we're becoming more isolated just when we need support most.
More people experience this than they realize.
A couple is losing their social connections precisely when they most need support, caught between others' assumptions about their choices and their own private grief.
