[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]

+1.

I agree with everything the pp said.  I don't think your DH is handling his disappointment appropriately but I also think pinning all your hopes on being a parent to your sister donating her eggs, wasn't fair to anyone.  Now your DH had the double disappointment of getting excited something will happen that you have been working years, to only have it taken away last minute AND have to give up the dream altogether of having children because you say there is no other way.  That's a lot of anger and dissapointment with no refocusing on a positive future outcome and no therapy to deal with the finality if there really is no positive outcome possible.[/quote]
