[quote=Anonymous]Honestly, you've been through a lot OP, as has your dh. IVF (and the years of unsuccessfully trying before that) take a huge toll. I'm sure it impacted the quality of your sex life and intimacy, and then if you yourself had years if untreated depression, and you are more on top of things, what do you expect from him? To me, it sounds like your environment is t conducive to reconnecting. And he isn't the only man in the world who won't initiate therapy himself (of any of my friends in couples counseling I know zero husbands that were doing any of the footwork and some weren't even willing to try it).

You guys need to reconnect. You are making it more complicated than it is. The person you fell in love with is still there, and it's now the father of your children. You need to somehow carve out time away. Can you guys try a weekend long intensive couples retreat away somewhere?

I have two young kids with difficult temperaments and went through infertility too. It was very hard on our marriage and we are still in the thick of it. The fights we have had could have landed us on jerry springer. But it's slowly improving. I'm the one who can check out physically and emotionally, because I'm so elsewhere with how hectic life is.

I really think you can make this better, and it's worth it.[/quote]
