Worried about hardships so soon in marriage

We are not long married and my MH has and is currently at rock bottom.

We have been experiencing fertility issues and miscarriages for some time and it has really really affected me.

DH is supportive, I know it gets on top of him sometimes and occasionally we'll have a bit of a fall out from the stress and then we're okay again. This is rare though, most of the time he's very supportive.

I worry though, we have not been married long at all and I just think surely we should just be loving our life for the first few years, all happy and smitten etc...

Life is so hard for us though at the moment and I worry that he's going to get fed up of having a miserable depressed wife so soon into marriage.

Then I think, maybe this will make us stronger as team? I don't know.

I'm anxious all the time and worry he will just have enough of the stress one day and leave.

Did anyone else have huge hurdles like this to overcome straight away?

Sorry to hear you are experiencing fertility issues &, miscarriages, very painful I know.

I think you have to try and do things together and most important of all keep communication going.

Me and DP started ballroom dancing last night was great fun! Perhaps there’s a hobby you could do together for some fun?

Hey @JustAnAnxiousWreck
We are in a similar position to you in terms of only being married for 18 months and experiencing fertility issues both sides, including 1 failed round of IVF. I'm currently off work with anxiety. I was just thinking yesterday how our entire marriage has been clouded by the infertility plague. If you want to chat feel free to dm me so it's a little less public.
