I Think My Wife Is Starting To Resent Me.
|
My wife is 31 weeks pregnant. I think she's tired of being pregnant and not being able to do everything she used to do. She wants me to be around ALL of the time. I don't have a particularly interesting social life, but I still like bowling and playing poker with the guys. I know that this is a particularly sensitive time for her, but I need a little air for myself. I think she resents the time that I'm away even if it's only a few hours a week. Am I being insensitive, should I stop doing these things?

Hello there, and sorry to hear that she is getting upset about the times you are not around, that can be very though to a pregnant women, i mean some get pretty sensitive and even get depressed by wait to giive birth coz the pregnancy work so much over the hormones changes. I don't think you have been insensitive about do what you like to do with your friends but you can may reach a point and make a deal with her about it, may you can call the guys to play poker at your place, sure if you don't usualy do that in casinos you can try make them join your house to a poker session time to time and maybe that will help a little the case, as I hope. Good Lucky.

You need your time too, but try to compromise with her on when you are away. It sounds like you understand how much she needs your support, so I won't go into that. Maybe you can find a way to make time for her to be away doing something she likes too - a massage, manicure/pedicure, movie with friends - anything that she loves to do...and don't just ask her if she wants to. Set it up for her, and take her there. Make her feel special and help relieve her stress some and she will be less resentful of the "fun" time you get to enjoy while she is feeling miserable.

Husband should be cooperative and supportive to their wives on this pregnancy stage. Your understanding and support is very much need at this time. This is the period where you wife is quite sensitive and need console. Please take note that you are the best person who can calm and ease their feelings and discomforts.
