Disagreeing on fertility treatment & giving up - did you do this?

I've name changed for this.

If you and your DP disagreed on whether to do more fertility treatment, how did you resolve this? If one of you didn't want to give up and the other was happier to just move on without children? I feel bereft right now that I won't have a family. DP doesn't feel the same. I'm not sure if I can resolve this in my head. I can't force him to go through more treatment and frankly we could hardly afford it... I feel like I may become resentful (I'm partly the way there to be honest).

I just don't even know how to start thinking about this rationally and sensibly.

Going it alone is not an option for me before it is suggested.

Hi Op I'm sorry you're in this predicament.

I'm a solo mum by choice and I went it alone, but since you stated this isn't something you want to do, I won't be advising you on that.

One thing I would suggest and that's implications counselling. Perhaps independently (and not with your partner)?

You need to voice your concerns to someone in a safe space and explore your options.

Since this particular milestone is a deal breaker for many people, you owe it to yourself to be confident in the decision you reach.
