[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can definitely sympathize with your husband. Your sister dangled he possibility of having kids in front of him and then backed out at the last minute, of course he is going to be devastated and furious. You have a much stronger bond with her so you are able to get past it. Of course she has every right to change her mind and I think it's for the best she didn't go through with it, but give him more time to get over it. Can you work towards saving up money for donor eggs or adoption? Downsize your house, one of you pick up a second job, hold a fundraiser? The difference between having a child and not is huge, and maybe focussing some of that anger towards making it happen will help him cope. [/quote]

Agree with this, he needs more time. You probably do too. My husband is a lot like yours sounds. He has a temper in that he is quick to anger, not violent. He is also intensely loyal and expects the same from others he is close to, he has very clear views on right and wrong, and he isn't very self-aware in terms of his own feelings or emotions. Those traits can manifest as anger towards others whether misplaced or not. It's just who he is, human like the rest of us. Try to focus on each other and your relationship as much as possible, without bringing your family into it. You guys are a team. Stick together or at least maintain periodic touchpoints. I'm sorry about everything you're going through. Marriage is long. Good times or bad times can be measured in years. It doesn't mean things can't turn around.[/quote]
