TL;DR at the bottom. Am on phone etc etc
I honestly think this is still very funny but I’m in a lot of trouble. My husband and I have been trying for a baby. It hasn’t been working out. We haven’t gone to a doctor or anything yet, but things have been disappointing. As a result, baby making time can SOMETIMES feel a little like a chore. Not that we aren’t attracted to each other or anything. It’s just that checking my ovulation and planning out ~special time~ means that I’m not always feeling totally into it. So obviously, the bedroom can have different vibes, and today I was in a silly goofy mood. I had reached a point where the big event wasn’t going to happen for me (I’m trying to keep this as PG as possible lol). But, I always say that it’s a lot like pizza. Even if you have bad pizza, you’re still happy to have pizza! Anyways, when my husband was ready to deliver the goods, if you will, I had a thought pop into my head. And that thought was of Sam at the top of the stairs leading to Mordor in Return of the King. He offers to help Frodo by taking the ring. So basically, right as my husband reached the finale this morning, I laugh and say “Share the load!” Like I do a weird accent and everything. I’m still laughing!!! It was a funny joke! He was very unhappy with the timing of that quote and left to work out without talking to me. He texted me later telling me how weird it was to say that, I was disrespectful, it’s just not the right moment. I concede all of those points, it was a mistake. But, I didn’t mean to make him feel weird, I just wanted to lighten the mood!
TL;DR I shout “Share the load!” (From LOTR) at the same moment my husband is about to try to impregnable me. He’s not talking to me and wants to take some time off trying for a baby.
Edit: I really thought only like 10 people would see this and think it was funny. Thank you for the awards and comments. There are some very very funny jokes and gifs in the comment thread. I won’t reply to probably anyone, but husband and I talked it out and we are laughing about the whole situation. I think we will take some time off trying for now, but if this was THE one I will definitely have to pick out a shire name for the kid right? Thank you for those that shared their fertility journeys as well, it was nice to hear that we aren’t alone.
