I don't understand why you're minimizing a partners' feelings in this way. Yes it's absolutely worse for a woman who miscarries. But partners can and do suffer

I don't understand why you're minimizing a partners' feelings in this way. Yes it's absolutely worse for a woman who miscarries. But partners can and do suffer trauma (and, weirdly, post partum), and frequently just bury it -- it's a recipe for ptsd. All suffering is relative, there's no point at which a partner thinks "thank god I'm not the person who miscarried or I'd really feel trauma". It's painful all around.
- p1necone 7y agoThe person bringing up "but what about the other partner" in a thread about research into the effects on the woman giving birth was minimizing, the person you're commenting on is just calling them out on that. It's true that the partner suffers too but pointing it out in this context is not helpful.
- mrkurt 7y agoEh, I think it’s probably better to take that comment at face value. What if the person who posted it is suffering through the effects of a miscarriage right now? This isn’t the same as “all lives matter”
