Who is more emotional about ttc?

You or dh/so? I know most of us are going to say us. So here is question two. In general, who is more emotional?

I can say I am more emotional to both questions. Dh doesn't usually get emotional. He tends to keep that to himself. When he does get emotional it is usually because I am sad. He doesn't like when I get down.

I'm waay emotional! My hubby won't even get emotional about his mom right now. He's very old fashioned, he doesn't think men should show emotions.. lol

Yea, I am WAY more emotional. I cry during movies...let me rephrase that, I SOB during movies and sometimes I tear up at commercials. I also tend to overreact right away.
DH thinks things through more thoroughly at first than I do. He is more rational than I am. But when he gets mad he shows it but not phsyically, his demeanor and attitude changes.

Yea, i can tell just from the previews I would cry. I sobbed 4 times during the animated movie UP! DH thinks its cute, but its pretty embarressing when you are sobbing so hard you make gasping noises (but are obviously trying NOT to) in a room full of kids....in an animated, kids movie!!! Seriously!!

Did any of you see Marley and Me? All the men in the theatre were crying for that one! I bawled and bawled for the last hour... I've had that same conversation with my cat that passed about letting me know when it was time.

My emotions with TTC are more of a frustration than sadness. I think once we've been ttc longer, it will turn to more sadness. DH thinks nothing of it, still thinks it's easy since he had 3 boys from a previous marriage without even trying. What he doesn't get is that hearing that actually makes it harder on me

OH MY GOODNESS!! I cried for the last 45 minutes and then an additional 30 minutes after. My eyes were so swollen the next day at work, it was embarressing!

My dog looks very similar to Marley, so I was boo-hooing as if he had really died. I was cuddling with him practically the entire movie!!!!!!! I warned everyone at work not watch it the night before you have to work or else you may come in to work looking like me.
Oh and the Notebook...dont even get me started. No matter how many times I see that movie, i still cry at the end!!!!!!! Gosh, just thinking about it makes me want to cry!!!!
