Disgusted!
Anyone just get so fed up with their husbands? Mine has made no effort to even learn about reproduction during this process. Pretends like he isn't "medical" enough to understand it all, and because I have that background it's easier for me. I try to explain everything to him calmly and answer questions, but after 500 explanations he still doesn't get what MY OPKs measure every month. He didn't even know sperm met the egg in the fallopian tube. He is pissy because it's been several months with no luck, and he is blaming me for not starting sooner (I wasn't ready before, for career and personal reasons, and he agreed he wasn't ready either until this all started!). He is acting like a 5 year old, upset that all his friends have kids and are getting pregnant and we aren't. I also happen to earn much more money than he does, so we rely on my income. Every time he has a bad day he goes off about how he hates his job and wants to switch. I told him I don't really care what job he does, but it needs to be flexible (he currently can work from home a lot which is great!). I will need to return to work right away if we ever have a kid, so he would need to stay home for a few months to take care of the baby. He pitches a fit about how nobody appreciates him or gives him enough praise at work, etc etc. They do give him raises and as a contracted consultant, he gets to set his hours quite a bit. It seems not so bad to me. But he just keeps whining. It's so irritating. I feel like he should man up and find another job he likes better, or take the good with the bad here. Stop talking about it like switching jobs is a threat! I can't help it that we rely on my income, and working is important to me. I'm just starting to feel less and less like I want to have a baby with him. He lacks maturity and patience. I feel like I have to take care of him and explain everything to him, when I really need someone to support me emotionally. He won't even read the books or articles about fertility and pregnancy. He literally just thinks he gets to blow his load, and 9 months later he gets a baby that looks like him and his whole family will ooh and ahhh over him. Ugh. I'm over this.
