The kid thing is on pause for us at the moment. All the stress from dealing with my family after the flood...just didn't make for a good time to be doing fertility stuff. I'm willing to do two more rounds of fertility treatments...might as well make them count. So maybe after the holidays? I said if I'm not pregnant by the time I turn 39, that's it for me. So I have until March. You never know what could happen, these past couple months have shown me that anything is possible and just how unpredictable life really is

Honest question and feel free to tell me to frick off.
Does your current situation make you question your faith?
Our best couple friends have recently been diagnosed as infertile and I'm not sure how or what to say to them about it, so ive not said anything.

I hope you did that on purpose. Otherwise, you set yourself up for some grief.

Relationships are fricking exhausting
Always have to come up with some new shite every once in a while. We went to paint last weekend, dgaf about painting but she enjoyed it and I didn't get to hear that I spend too much time watching sports this weekend

Not at all. If anything, it makes me cling more to my faith. Reminds me that sometimes my life doesn't always go by MY plans...but by His plans.
However, keep in mind that while we do want a child...both of us are secure in knowing that we can live happy, fulfilling lives without being parents. Adoption is likely something we will not pursue if the fertility stuff doesn't work out. Honestly....I've lately just been like "Ok God, you know what the outcome of this will be. I'm gonna keep trying for now, but if I don't get pregnant, You clearly have another plan for my husband and I."

Just be there for them, and let them know that you are ok with them talking about it with you. Infertility can be such a taboo topic for some. It's like you are just supposed to keep your mouth shut about it cause it makes others uncomfortable. Knowing I had close friends I could freely discuss my frustrations about the whole thing with....really helped me. I didn't have to tiptoe around the topic when I was with them.

1. 38 and 28
2. 2 by previous marriage. I share 50/50 custody. Might try again with current wife but not rushing it.
3. Married for 1yr, together for 5
4. 2nd marriage for me, first for her. I def upgraded in all respects but the biggest difference is she has much more going on for herself (career and socially) than my previous wife.
5. Dinner at a great restaurant. Not really into movie theatres so we will go to a bar afterwards. Best times for us are actually weekend mornings chilling watching TV and enjoying breakfast in bed. We live busy lives both together and apart so it is VERY nice to simply chill.
6. Date nights are 2-3 per month. We also go on 3-4 weekend getaways each year.

I'll play:
1. 34 and 34
2. 4 children, ages 9, 8, 4, 1
3. 11
4. First time.
5. Family outdoor adventures (entire family). Late lunch and drinks (when just us).
6. Maybe once, that shite is expensive after activity + babysitting. I think, bottom line, if you can't enjoy time as an entire family unit, there's a problem.
I have trouble understanding couples who can only be a couple away from their kids.
Excellent. This has been our m.o. since our first was born 20 years ago.
Differences:
1.50 (me) and 47
2. 2 sons, 20 and 16. 20 lives with his grandmother, now, by choice
3. 25 years this coming Wednesday
4. Only time.
5. Meals out, high school sporting events...sons are bandsmen, younger plays lacrosse.

I hate to tell you WC, but your kids will be getting into activities that will require lots of time. We have 3 and they are all involved in many activities so having "our" time is hard to come by. Just the way it is.
Honestly, I enjoy when we are sitting in our lazy boys next to each other watching TV or I'm surfing the net. Gonna sound cheesy, but its a pretty comforting feeling having her there even though we're not doing anything special. Sometimes it's just great to be sitting down relaxing together.

Be careful. Women generally have a much different view of this than do men.

1. Both 27
2. A son that just turned 9-months-old
3. Our 3rd anniversary is this month. Been together almost 8 though.
4. First for both of us
5. Sporting events, movies, dinner, etc.
6. One date since my sons been born. Having a kid under one doesn't leave much time.
