Why my life sucks

[piiak]

This morning Chris said to me: "I don't understand why you're crying about losing a baby you weren't even sure you wanted a few weeks ago."

I can't even think clearly anymore. If this is what he really thinks, then I married a stranger. Nothing good can come from this.

Keep in mind that he didn't go through the roller coaster of hormones that you did. If you hadn't been the one with the baby in your body, along with all the chemicals that come along with that affecting your brain, then you'd probably be thinking what he is.

But if our hearts are even a little open to the possibility of that child becoming ours, then can we begin very early to attach to it.

Chris, on the other hand, has none of the benefits of all that. All he sees is your ups and downs. He hears your early words doubting that you even want a child and weighs them against your recent emotions of loss and is confused. Guys don't always get it, at least not at first. Don't lose faith in him -- he just doesn't have the mind-reading ability to truly understand where you're at right now. ;-P

I suppose that is quite a possibility (because I don't know anyone else who is a mind-reader), but I really thought he would have enough sense to keep these negative thoughts to himself. It's disappointing to know I could be so wrong about someone.
