I don't know about you, Pandora, but I've spent too much time during this IF battle trying to make other people happy by going to their showers and parties and dinners and pretending to be OK. Take it from me, put yourself first for once/for now. If dinner with these folks is going to ruin your week, don't do it.
I don't know what to tell you about DH, he may not necessarily understand where you're coming from, but maybe later he will. My DH deals with all of this sadness by going out with all of our friends, it doesn't bother him if they're PG or have three kids, he just wants to have a good time -- and he wants me by his side. Some nights I can do it, some nights I can't. Maybe tonight's not the night for you. That's OK. XOXO Anne
