As you all know, found out a few days ago that I'm pregnant. Last night my husband told me that he doesn't want to be in a marriage where he gets nothing out of it
Now before you all shout at me to leave the bastard, I should say he is actually the most lovely, supportive husband a woman could wish for. He's also an aspie and sometimes he wants to say one thing but it comes out as something very, very different. I understand this, being autistic myself, and once I get over the shock of what he actually said, I can understand what he is trying to say.
In this instance he was trying to tell me that loves me and spending time with me and being a couple so much that he's frightened there will be no room for him once the baby comes along. He's terrified he'll be surplus to requirements.
Any advice on how I can reassure him?
(When he realised what he'd actually said he was mortified and spent the rest of the evening fussing over me like a mother hen :o)
