If you are dealing with issues of infertility, you're fully aware of the fact that this health problem creates emotional ups and downs like almost no other health problem can do. What you may not realize is that your husband is going through the same emotional issues.
Often, men in these situations play tough because they know their wives need their support but inside they still feel emotionally raw. This is especially true if the infertility issues are caused by problems related to their own fertility but will be true no matter what the cause of the fertility problems may be.
For the most part, couples manage to deal with these feelings due in part to the fact that men will play the "strong shoulder" role while women ride the emotional rollercoaster. However, there are going to be times when men need to release the emotions that have been building up inside.
Be aware of the fact that one of those times might be this weekend. Just like Mother's Day triggers strong emotions for women dealing with fertility issues, Father's Day can cause emotional lows for men that are in this situation. Be empathetic and kind if this is the case for your family.
Question of the Day: What can you do to enjoy Father's Day with your husband despite the problems you're dealing with regarding fertility?
