Ask away, whatever concerns you have, and I'll do my best to give advice on whatever topic you may ask

Four rules:
1 - can't guarantee my advice will be any good
2 - can't even guarantee it'll be serious, but if it's a serious question, it'll probably get a serious response
3 - can't even guarantee I'll give an actual answer, might just post an image
4 - can't even guarantee I'll be the one to answer - someone else might beat me to it but please be respectful at all times

My wife and I are going trough our second miscarriage after 3 years trying to have a child. How do I stay strong and keep our relationship strong?

Comment has been collapsed.

miscarriage is more common than people think, with an estimated one out of every four pregnancies resulting in a miscarriage. It sucks, it hurts, but keep trying.

a few years back, both my sister and my sister-in-law, living in different countries, both miscarried on the same day. both of them had children later

I know it hurts, but it's only temporary. And if it keeps happening, seek help from medical professionals.

Thanks for the support and the understanding of the situation! I'm mostly broken as my wife is. But we are OK and happy.It gets easier with time, and I must say... This situation is making us even stronger as a couple. The question was more of a "get something that hurts me off my chest". For sure wasnt expecting such heartwelming responses! Thanks for the support and honest "advice".

Talk to your wife about how it makes you feel, ask her how she feels about it. You don't need to be strong all the time, you can show her (or other people) that things affect you, it's ok to break down some times. Don't focus on what you don't have or have lost, but focus on what you do have (a beautiful wife that loves you). don't dwell on the past or things you can't control, look towards the future.

So sorry to hear what you're going through. I've been there myself. We had 4 kids, then lost 2, and finally had one more (with great difficulty). You hurt but you know she hurts worse and you know there's nothing you can do to fix it.

It's something that noone likes to talk about and most don't like to hear about (doesn't make for pleasant dinner conversation), so hardly anyone does. But for us many friends from church, work, and neighborhood came to us and shared that they had been through the same thing. It's like you wake up one day and find that you're a part of a huge club that you never knew existed and never wanted to be a part of. It was helpful and comforting in a painful sort of way.

Nothing can fix it (as you know), but it's ok to be broken together. Love each other and allow yourselves to hurt. Be there for each other and allow your friends to be there for you too. It's natural to want to shut everyone out when you're hurting, but don't. There's a beautiful joy in being able to share someone else's pain with them so they don't have to bear it themselves. Do that... and give it time. Let it pull you together instead of pull you apart. And then cherish each day you have with her.

I realize that this is starting to sound like a sappy greeting card, but this is heartfelt advise from someone who has been there.

If you decide to try again, get a doctor who has dealt with patients who have had multiple miscarriages. They are hard to find, but they are out there. Then start taking a close look at your wife's hormones. Everything that the body does is signaled and regulated through hormones, especially in pregnancy, and any unexpected imbalance can spell disaster, especially with progesterone (which can trigger everything to start moving too early if it drops too soon - all too common problem).

And if you decide not to try again, that's ok. You found each other, which is more than many get, and you are blessed. I hope you make the most of your lives together, Just be there for each other. And good luck with whatever you decide. Best wishes, and God bless you both.

Hi... I'm truelly speachless.
Never thought I would get so much sympathy and kindness from a community. Specially from a giveaway community... I can't thank you enought for the words, and for letting us know we are not alone in this fight.
We are trying again, the doctors gave us green light to start trying again... Our hopes will be up, and now, even stronger! Thanks for words... Can't really thank you and the others enough..

The others have already given such good responses, just wanted to say hang in there and I'm so glad you and your wife have each other to lean on each other during such a heartbreaking experience. Makes all the difference. Hope that whatever the future may hold will bring you love and happiness, wishing you both the best. :)

I'm slowly starting to lose hope in finding a job. Moreover, my family doesn't support me and they are not aware at all of how work market works nowdays in Italy. (We argue everyday)
So I feel this urge of finding something, while slowly beginning to think I've only wasted 5 years of my life in university.
How do I deal with this s...tuff?

damn, that sucks. I'm not too proud to flip burgers, and there's always a shortage of people willing to clean toilets for a living. It's easier to find a job when you have a job, and it sucks to not be able to support yourself, so, take whatever you can get.

alternatively, print off some business cards and/or a stack of resumes, and go knocking door to door at every business in town, hand them to everyone you see in a suit, at traffic stops by industrial parks, just about everywhere. It'll take some time, but, someone will be impressed with your grit

I totally agree. That urge to find something is probably a good one. If you have a job (any job) it's often easier to find another. And it can help take the edge off of the financial and emotional pressure that you're feeling. And you never know... it might lead to other opportunities that you never would have found otherwise. "Holding out for your dream job" is a good way to have no job. Don't be afraid to explore, take chances, see what life has to offer, and enjoy the ride. Best wishes, and God bless.

Just because you take an unrelated job doesn't mean you have to stop looking. It just means you have some income, and some pride.

This is a difficult question because it also require another answer. Did you like what you did at the University ? I suppose that if you have a Master degree, you probably do. Are you willing to leave your country ? The situation in Italy may be pretty bad, but you do have two advantages in your hands : You have a master degree and you can speak English as well as Italian.
Put that into perspective, don't limit your options, you have more than you think you do.

I did, a lot. I graduated in Marketing and Corporate Communication, full marks with honors.
Of course I am, I'm not wasting my degree for the sake of remaining here.
I'm starting to check also other opportunities abroad (I got also a pretty solid B2 in French), let's hope I'd have a better chance.

Thank you for your advices ^^

This is a little funny, because being French myself I can give you a bonus advice. The Canada is hiring a lot of French/English speakers the reason being that a part of the country speaks French and the other English. Look in that direction, you'll have more chances to land and job and to be paid more because you speak three languages (and maybe we'll meet there in a few years as we're aiming to move there with my partner once he's done with his studies).

Moving so far away isn't something you do within weeks or months, you have to plan ahead. You should discuss about that with them, the place where you'll live is something to consider together carefully and prepare together if you decide to move far away from where you currently are.

My advice: just focus on 1 assignment until it is done. Then go to the next. Start with the easiest/fastest to make the number 20 get smaller more quickly. If you think about 20 you'll become overwhelmed. Don't think of running a marathon, just take one step at a time. :)
