I have never pretended that this is the way I wanted things to be. I have made it clear to all friends and relatives that I wanted kids and was not able to have them. I think you have to be honest, especially with those people who keep bugging you about having kids. But we really don't talk about it much. I suspect everyone figures I "got over it" years ago.Sue Fagalde Lickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14740379397806418651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953607740696523736.post-9576909344132006842012-03-04T17:21:09.754-08:002012-03-04T17:21:09.754-08:00My situation is that my husband has grown kids and...My situation is that my husband has grown kids and is now infertile (due to vasectomy) and reproductive assistance is difficult because of my age. He very much sympathizes with me and has been very supportive. Do you rely on friends or other family members for support? If any parents cousins or siblings are living, do you share your grief with them or just conduct yourselves as though you wanted it to be this way? I'm just curious as to whether most of us feel alone with this or have been able to find comfort from other family members or friends outside the marriage.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953607740696523736.post-77826276487145565882012-03-01T12:06:41.118-08:002012-03-01T12:06:41.118-08:00Hi professor.

Obviously I've got to get my book out there because nobody addresses this problem with more than a brief mention. The ebook will be out before Mother's Day.Sue Fagalde Lickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14740379397806418651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953607740696523736.post-85717710298668521882012-03-01T11:12:27.288-08:002012-03-01T11:12:27.288-08:00My finger's on the trigger to buy this book, b...My finger's on the trigger to buy this book, but I'm hesitant. I've found that reading stories of "infertile couples" makes my heart sink even more. In those cases, husband and wife carry the sorrow together. In my case, I am the sorrowful one; I have no children because my husband doesn't want them. I feel alone in this pain, and I can't talk to my husband about it without making him feel like I'm accusing him of something (which I guess I sort of am). Does this book have anything to help those of us who are the "odd man out" in the infertile couple?Jossalynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14075634491933502475noreply@blogger.com
