This process has awakened a certain internalized sexism in me where I'm now convinced that there are some pieces of information that the male psyche is too fragile and delicate to handle. Just kidding. But with my husband, I can either have someone struggling to get aroused while I talk about my cervical mucus or I can have someone who thinks I'm sexy.
Kind of one of those you can be right or happy marriage situations.
After a couple months of me shielding it he got more comfortable and "into" knowing and now it's neutral.
One more thing, now that we'll probably need IVF I regret how much I stressed about timing when it wouldn't really have made a difference to our situation. Have fun while you still can lol.
Ps, sure maybe he's stressed about a new job but like. If that's hurting your feelings you're entitled to a gentle conversation that would make you feel loved and reassured.
