Why are husbands so frustrating?!

Lisa
My husband and I have been ttc for 6 months. Every time I go on facebook I feel like I'm bombarded with pregnancy announcements or baby pictures (I know I am just overly aware and sensitive to the announcements and pictures and that there are probably not as many as I think there are) Anyways, a friend of his has been ttc for a month. My husband informs me of this and then blurts out, "And guess what?! She's pregnant!" He then puts me on the phone with the woman's boyfriend and I say how happy I am for them and how exciting this all is. Once I've hung up, I look at my husband and say, "I'm so jealous of them and I'm so sad and frustrated it hasn't happened to us yet." I then begin crying and my husband looks at me and says I have no right to feel that way and I need to be happy for them or if I'm not, I need to pretend that I'm happy. Are you fucking serious??? I did pretend that I was happy when I was on the phone with them but I feel like I should be able to express my true feelings of jealousy, sadness, and frustration to my husband. I don't know, maybe he just doesn't understand or maybe I'm being overly sensitive. Any insight from you ladies would be greatly appreciated because right now I'm simply ignoring my husband because I worry if I talk to him I might not be very nice. :)
