Pull yourself together, man!

Today, I've stopped smoking, lost 30 pounds, taken several painful tests, and checked my ovulation daily in an effort to get pregnant. My husband has only had one task during the entire process, and after hours of gaming, he says he's just too tired to have sex. FML

Sorry OP. Those are awesome achievements and they say a lot about your character and devotion. Hopefully you will be a mother soon! Good luck with your husband!

Some people do change after having a kid, that's true. However, quite a few don't, and to put a child in a potentially less than desirable situation with an uninvolved, uncaring father, that's just very unfair to the kid.

Are you absolutely sure he actively desires children? Going along with your plan or not actively using protection doesnt mean a man genuinely wants children, I've seen more than one just get brow beaten into it or not be assertive enough to say no to children and they're generally lackadasical fathers and the marriages often fail. Dont bring kids into anything but a solid, happy marriage. I went through injections, ovulation charting, as well and a medication that made me vomit 24/7 to get pregnant again. I would have been beyond pissed if my husband knew that, saw how I was suffering all 28 days, agreed that we were going to try this cycle, then on ovulation day decided to play games all day and just say "nah, Im tired". its not just one refusal, it means at minimum another entire month of dieting, shots, pain etc etc just to try again with no guarantee. At the very least I would have expected him to say something more compassionate. Of course he has a right to not have sex if he doesnt feel like it, everyone does. Doesnt mean you cant be pissed about your pointless suffering and wasted time.

I think this problem is partially both of their faults. Can you imagine sex being so stressful? She is stressed because she has to check and wait for the perfect time. He is stressed because he has to perform on the spot. There doesn't sound like there is any romance or desire for sex. That can kill a man's libido. Take a week off. Put the thermometer away and just go at it like two newly weds... rebuild the spark every so often... You'd be surprised the results that can come from taking the pressure off of trying to have a child.

you should try to convince him to do two things at once. Some guys fantasize about it.

Maybe don't have kids have kids with someone like this. You will be doing all the work with the kids While he complains and acts more than a kid then an actual kid
