What are the causes of partner problems when there are fertility problems?

When a couple faces fertility problems, they will go through an unexpected situation that truncates their life project. This will generate a multitude of emotions such as frustration, guilt, irritability, stress, anxiety, reluctance... which can end up damaging the couple's relationship.

In addition, there is often a lack of communication because, on occasions, they avoid talking about it. Similarly, sexual relations are affected, more programmed and less frequent, as they often lose their pleasure and enjoyment and are seen only as a means of reproduction.

Finally, the couple may also become isolated from their social environment, but also stop doing enjoyable activities together, which means the loss of an important positive reinforcement in the relationship.

For all these reasons, we must try not to fall into these situations, as well as go to therapy if the couple considers it necessary, in order to learn to manage all these emotions.
