Husband says I'm selfish
In the quiet struggle of longing and loss, a woman bears the invisible scars of four mis*****ages, each one a devastating blow to her body and soul.
Her heart aches not just from the absence of a child, but from the profound physical pain that shadows every attempt to create life, a burden unseen by many but deeply felt by her.
Amidst this fragile pain, a tender conversation with her husband turns cold when his words cut deeper than any wound.
His suggestion of adoption, meant to be a hopeful path, is marred by a harsh reminder of what they have not yet achieved together, leaving her feeling misunderstood and isolated in her suffering.

The original poster (OP) is navigating profound grief and physical pain following four mis*****ages, while also dealing with her husband's expressed frustration about the lack of a biological child.
The central conflict arises when the husband labels the OP as selfish for focusing on her medical situation, immediately followed by a dismissive action—turning off the living room light—which the OP interpreted as a significant act of disrespect and control.
Given the intense emotional strain and the husband's harsh accusation, the core question remains: Does the husband's acknowledged pain about not having a child justify his insensitive comments and subsequent disrespectful behavior, or do the OP's physical and emotional suffering from recurrent pregnancy loss require him to offer unwavering support and sensitivity, regardless of his own feelings?
