[quote=Anonymous]My husband was similar. I wouldn't describe his behavior as mean, but there were times he seemed indifferent and blase. I knew that he would be so happy once I was pregnant and would fall in love with our baby, but it was frustrating bc I was going through so much physically and emotionally. DH is not someone who shows emotion readily but I knew he hated seeing me so stressed out and was trying to project a calm indifference (just not so successfully), especially when cycles failed. I really think there is no way that men and women can experience infertility at the same level - the physical toll is so hard to comprehend when you're not living it. DH was amazingly supportive while I was pregnant and is now a wonderful father.

It's so tough getting advice on this issue on an anonymous forum. You know your husband best - if he is just dealing with the stress of infertility poorly then that might not change until it's over. If you can truly say you're worried about starting a family with him based on his attitude, that's a much different story. I will say that a lot of my friends who have gone through infertility have at some point complained that their husbands were not as invested in each cycle's outcome as they were. I would prioritize a date night soon where you don't talk about fertility stuff at all. Get out of the house and shake it off a bit. I found that I was a bit of a homebody while I was going through it bc I was so exhausted and down. It helps to break that cycle. Good luck![/quote]
