I am older than my husband, and that was one of the reasons his mother did not like me when he introduced me to her as the woman he wanted to marry. The fact that I already had a child made things even worse. At our wedding, she carried a heavy face throughout the ceremony,…
I’ve been married for four years and we still don’t have a child. At first, I hoped conception would happen naturally. I kept telling myself that our time would come.
