Close Breakups & Divorce

I have been married for two-and-a-half years. We were together six years before marrying and have known each other since high school. We had been trying to get pregnant for about a year-and-a-half. I suffered two miscarriages in that time. After the second miscarriage, my husband told me he didn't want children and that he was only trying to make me happy. Since I do want children and he doesn't, separation and divorce seemed the only solution.

Treatments

Couples Counseling Somewhat Helpful

We met with counselors twice. It made my husband realize that he was truly losing me over this.

Pets Working / Worked

I have two dogs, who help motivate me to get up and get out on the days I could just lie around forever.

Reading Somewhat Helpful

I love to read but sometimes it's merely a way of avoiding my situation.

Support from Friends & Family Somewhat Helpful

It's difficult for me to turn to my family and friends because I don't feel like they understand what I am going through. After my two miscarriages, it is extremely difficult to turn to my friends with young children or those who are themselves expecting.

Yoga Working / Worked

This has been one of the only "treatments" that help me feel happier, safer.
