The Most Common Relationship Fights During Infertility

Infertility can magnify relationship tension, if left unaddressed. Listen,

The biggest fights?
Blame (“It’s your fault we’re struggling”),
financial stress (“Another treatment cycle?”),
and emotional disconnection (“You don’t understand how I feel”).

Studies show that infertility-related fights decrease when couples actively practice empathy and clear communication.

Instead of arguing about the problem, ask:

“How can we handle this as a team?” Sometimes, shifting to a solution-focused mindset can reduce stress and strengthen your bond. Confidence and positivity can go a long way.

However it may be best to ask something like "How does this make you feel?" instead of offering a solution to every negative emotion or thought your partner expresses to you.

Inquiring about your partner's feelings can give you a direct path to helping them in the way they need. You could also inquire if they want help, or if they just want to express themselves to you. Sometimes, your partner may just want a shoulder to lean on, someone to vent to. Help them feel safe coming to you to communicate their feelings.

Have you and your partner faced infertility-related arguments? How did you work through them?
