One of my holdups on doing IVF, is that sometimes I worry if we are mistakingly forcing nature. I can't help but fear that this natural process isn't happening naturally, because our relationship isn't in "all" aspects - natural.
After your reaction to the test results this morning, I felt maybe you are too selfish to be a father yet. Maybe, this issue should be dealt with, before fatherhood comes apon you. But then I thought...maybe on the flip side, you reacted that way in order to shield your true emotions of humiliation or disappointment. The answer to this is unknown and will only be revealed in your future actions, I guess.
But must you be so stubborn? After insitinctively getting defensive and creating an excuse - admit your true feelings. You are never "ready to talk about it".
I just think that if the doctor looks at your lab results, and says "did you have a healthy summer?" - give him an honest answer, what he thinks of you should not be your number one priority here. Are you scared he'll tell you to stop? Are you worried he'll criticize you? Is he the only one you'll really listen to?
If giving up your vices for 3 months is too hard for you...then you are selfish and weak. To me, that's toxic.
I don't want to fight with you, you get too defensive and it's never worth it. But, I can't help this nagging feeling of wanting to be absolutely sure that it's not always going to be this hard & confusing.
Don't get me wrong. I want to have kids and spend the rest of my life with you. I love you.
I just want some sort of sign or promise that things will change. You will grow up, you will get your act together and you will aggresively chase your ambitions. You will be responsible, respectful and loyal.
I think I need you to re-commit to me.
Emotionally and vocally.
I also wish I could actually tell you this.
I know you feel that it's just a load of my problems and negativity, but if you listened long enough you would hear that I have the exact recipe for it's solutions too.
That's the part that I'm really trying to get at in the first place.
Again, I wish I could actually tell you this.

MY DEBUT POST
So here I am. The first post.
It took me a week to start writing from when I created the blog. Imagine, how long ago I thought of blogging!
Until now, I have been writing in a little, mini notebook. Like the kind that I used as a homework pad in elementary school. But, I must tell you - the pages are small, but the satisfaction is enormous. Juat ravaging those little pages with words and flipping the pages so fast, I can't keep up with myself. But I always wanted to blog, and I'm tired of hiding the journal and every so often, destroying it - in case it gets found. I have actually come to the realization that broadcasting my thoughts over the internet might be safer than keeping it in my hair accessory drawer, under a bunch of silk scarves and headbands.
Before I was ever in a relationship with a male, I had this Hollywood image of men being tough and romantic. Then I realized that men are not tough at all. They seem to be more sensitive than any female I know. It's harder to confront them, get them to open up to you, and criticize them. I have one brother, but alway thought he was so sensitve since he grew up with so many girls in the house. However, I've since learnt this is not why.
My husband in particular, cannot be criticized in any way, shape, or form. I know that this is not necessarily the average case, but it's my case. For this reason, I've decided that my feelings and thoughts must be released and if they can't be expressed to him then I will express them to anyone who is willing to pretend to be him. Thus the blog. My new husband that I can express frustration to. Now, it's not like we don't communicate or love eachother - or it's only frustration I ever want to express. Like most relationships, it is balanced - just the good is much easier to go through than the bad.
So welcome to my blog, and I hope you enjoy being a fly on my wall. Please comment and participate, as I am always looking for advice and conversation!
