tonight husband who is a sahd starts on at me whether i love him..... look me in the eye and say you love me i brush it aside laughing. we need baby milk so he goes but before he goes to the shop he irons clothes and has a shave and says i will be hour and a half which is bit strange to be quite specfic as hs really doesnt keep time at all. just found his behaviour a wee bit odd.

Are you having problems at the moment? maybe he wants your attention, and is being silly to get your attention

That's a long time to get babymilk

thats what i thought. we are no diferent that we have been relationship wise. also when i was bathing the kids he made a thing about having a shave, when he is quite happy to go three/four days without shaving.

Well you know I'm a SAHM and sometimes you have to groom yourself not to feel like a slave to your child, and I do take more time to go to the shops when dh looks after the lo, just for browsing and looking at books etc...

If you are sure your relationship is fine then do not get worked up about it.

My husband got showered and shaved to go and play footie... it never dawned on me to think something was up...especially as he was pestering me for a sh*g before he went out and I told him I was too lazy to do much

I wouldn't be too worried bananaloaf! If however, he comes home with lipstick on his collar and no babymilk..I would get worried

Bananaloaf, oooooohhhhhhh.....the first 6 weeks are hell, you feel like you want to run away, after a few months it doesn't get to you anymore, maybe he just wants you to notice him. You know, see he is cleaning up for you, wanting to know you still love him, sounds to me he feels a little insecure.

rather he thinks that of you

I'd say pour him a glass of wine for when he gets back and LO's are asleep, then settle down for a cuddle.....
