I've seen reviews for this book, "What's a guy to expect when she's not expecting," but haven't read it yet. The "10 things not to say to your fertility-challenged wife" in the article caught my eye. I am proud to report that my husband has never used these lines, but maybe he could have used this book back in the years when we were first struggling with infertility. Maybe it would have helped him cope with the emotional mess he married into.
I believe that I was an avoider for about a year, but once we met a sister to friends of ours who had been through the adoption process twice, I suddenly became a doer. I finally put all the unanswered questions behind me and abandoned medical possibilities for the hope of adoption which turned out to be the best answer for us.
The 10 things not to say to your fertility-challenged wife:
1. That's OK. I didn't want you to get fat anyway.
2. No more condoms? Cool!
3. Can't we just invest all that money in a flat screen instead?
4. Yes, but these doctors have yet to see my Super Sperm!
5. So if your sister carries it, does that mean I can finally sleep with her?
6. I don't even want kids.
7. Hey, did I tell you my ex-girlfriend's pregnant?
8. I discussed it with my mother, and she thinks ...
9. Don't worry. You're still relatively young.
10. But it's not my fault, right?
