Things Fell Apart

Brandon and I are going to marriage counseling next week. I made an appointment for Monday and he agreed to go with him. I'm not ready to talk about the details but our marriage is in serious jeopardy and after hearing this news I am utterly devastated. I have never felt so alone and so lost in all my life.

I could really use your prayers right now. I'm hanging on by a thread.

  9. Christa, I am so sorry that you are going through this. IF is so very hard on a marriage. I think the fact that he is going with you to counseling is a good sign that he values your marriage and is willing to work on the issues that you two are facing. I will be thinking of you both as you work through this. (((HUGS)))

  11. I'm so sorry Christa. Infertility is notoriously hard on marriages, but I agree with some others on here that the fact that you are both willing to talk and work on things is already an important step. Wishing you strength as you go through all this.

  27. Hey hun...C and I have been here in the past when dealing with IF (on top of other stressors). Decisions in marriage are tough, but then add ones about kids, how you are going to bring them into your life, they get harder. The best I have heard it thus far is that women need kids, men want them. That in itself makes one another move at different paces and accept things differently.
    After our fresh IVF failure in the fall we went to see a fertility councilor and despite being a skeptic in thinking it wasn't going to help, it has. It has opened both of our eyes to see why each of us are thinking/feeling a certain way and allowing us to accept it more easily.
    I think it is a great sign that you took the step and he agreed to go.
    I am not sure what else is happening in your home, but know if you need support, an ear or a shoulder I am happy to help!
    Sending lots of strength and hugs.
