4 years of marriage and no child

2023-08-15 15:02:44 Asked By: Mary

My husband has been feeling sad and stressed for the past 3 years. The issue is weve been married for 4years but we havent been able to have children and I havent gotten pregnant even once. Hes really sensitive about this such that when he hears good news about a new baby being born he gets upset right away. This also happens when he sees kids around. When he upset he doesnt want to leave the house or be around people including me. Please help.

It's clear that your husband is going through a challenging time. First and foremost encourage open communication between both of you. Let him know you're there to listen and understand his feelings.Given the prolonged sadness and stress it's advisable for him to seek professional help from a mental health expert such as a therapist or counselor. They can provide valuable strategies to cope with his emotions and develop effective ways to manage his sensitivity.Incorporating stress-reducing activities into his routine like exercise mindfulness and engaging in hobbies can greatly benefit his mental well-being.Remember healing takes time and its important to be patient and supportive. Together you can work through this challenging period and find ways to navigate his emotions in a healthier manner.
