I was just wondering if anyone else besides me has a distant, disconnected work-a-holic DH that just seems to run when it's time to talk about IF, IVF or ANYTHING serious? I feel that my DH has been working way too much and very long hours, to avoid the real issues at home. Any ideas on how I can handle this?
I think it's funny that I am studying for my PhD in Psychology for Marriage and Family Therapy but I cannot help myself.
I need the input and feedback from my best friends. (that's you girls) Thanks.

Hello,

I am sorry about the issues that you both are going through. I am not sure if this will help because I am far from being an expert. But, I did the same things. Avoiding, withdrawing, and not wanting to talk about the Infertility Issues. In my case it was because I felt helpless, that I couldn't help the one person that I wanted to more than anything, my wife. My only suggestions would be to reassure him that what you are really wanting from him is support and the knowledge that you are both a team! That he doesn't have to protect you or solve the problem. Just go thru the process together with you. That the both of you are the priority. To love and cherish each other and things will work out. I hope that small bit of advice helps in some way.

Good Luck,
