Is the grass always greener on the other side?

The grass is always greener on the other side, it's a phrase we hear a lot, but do we really take any notice of it?

Although we are going through something horrible, I have to say that as a couple we are as stronger as ever.
Infertility can definitely tear a couple apart, it's emotionally, physically and financially draining. You constantly have to try and arrange appointments around your work and personal life, and it's hard for some couples to not blame the other or to not blame themselves and sometimes that blame is just to hard to overcome and can be the final straw for some couples.

For us though it has not tested our relationship but strengthened it.
I don't know how to explain it, but I feel closer, more connected to him because of all of this.

I know you should never judge a book by it's cover but it's human nature to judge, or at least make assumptions on the things we can see.
I've looked at so many people and couples and thought that they really do have it all, a happy marriage, children, a nice home, car, job.......I've been jealous, resentful and in awe of their life. Life just seems to come so easy to them and yet we have to fight and struggle for what should be the easiest and most natural thing in the world.
However than I get more of an insight into their lives and realise that they do not have it all.

I have come to find that a lot of people I thought had it all, in fact have troubled marriages :(
I've heard of people who do not have the support of their husband like I do from mine. People who are struggling with every aspect of their life, people who are close to separation or divorce and it's heartbreaking to know they are going through something that is leaving them without a person there to unconditionally support and love them.


I've had people say to me how much they admire Johnny and my relationship, how they can see the love we have for each other and how they wish they could have what we have.
I hate what we are going through with infertility, but I would hate even more to be going through relationship problems or facing the end of my marriage.


I guess I've come to find that the grass is not greener on the other side
