My OH is older than me and i am 18 it was hard coming to terms with the fact i won't be able to freely go out when i please, money worries and babysitting worries. But my OH quickly reminded me that he'd look after the baby if i wanted to go out a nightout at the weekened. and i'd agree i'd do the same for him so what we're going to do is have a night for ourselves and see how that works and do it every weekend or the every other weekend.
I'd suggest sitting down with him and remaining calm about it all and try figure out whats going on in his head and make him fully aware of the changes in his attitude and that it is making you worry and stress.
He's probably as you say just realizing that this is REAL is it going to happen now and alot is going to change. I'm sorry i can't be more helpful  but i hope everything works out for the best with you both and he goes back to his old self!  xx |
Thank you
I want to sit down and talk to him about it but it seems every time I bring it up he gets defensive about it and closes off ):
I'm trying to give him the space he wants to just think to himself about it.
And hope that within the next 10 weeks he comes to terms with the reality of it all, or allows me in to reassure him that even though life is going to change a lot I'll be there to make it more manageable for the both of us -- like you mentioned allowing him to go out with his friends, while I watch the baby.
That doesn't bother me at all.
I don't want to take his life away from him by having this baby, I want to open up new opportunities for us living as a family.
Thank you again for your response
And I will def keep in mind things that you have said (:
