I have been feeling meh lately… I’ve suggested to my husband that we plan a family holiday with our newborn for later this year and he said we can’t afford it as I’m on mat leave and we’ve bought a house at the start of the year so still renovating it… fair enough!
But a couple of weeks ago we were out with his mates who is a couple and they said they’re off on holiday in November and husband has said that we will meet them there… I was sat bemused because it was so out of the blue… I thought we couldn’t afford it and I don’t really want our first family holiday with our baby to be with friends like I’d like it to be a special one (yes I’m a little sentimental!)
The holiday is unlikely to happen since I do the bookings etc and husband hasn’t mentioned it again although I will speak to him about this again this week…
I guess my point really is husband seems to be a yes man to his friends or with anyone but ME… he’ll say we can’t afford to do anything as a couple or as a new family because we’re renovating our house and money is tight BUT when it comes to his mates or his hobbies he’ll make time and spend money…
I plan to discuss this with husband tomorrow, he works away and I feel meh and I bet he’ll be coming home tomorrow all excited to see me and baby and be all lovely dovey when I don’t really feel anything right now.. all I feel I do these days is look after baby all the time (thank goodness for my family and friends helping me out) and project manage our Reno… how can husband expect intimacy when we don’t go on dates…
Any advice or comment is welcome x
