Am I overreacting?

Question

So I just found out I'm 5 weeks pregnant and obviously I stopped drinking. Now I totally don't expect my husband to stop drinking. We went to a football game on Thursday and I dealt with everyone tailgating and getting drunk all night, I still had fun. yesterday we went out to dinner and met  some friends out but then had an early night which was nice because I was tired. But then today we are just chillin and watching tv and he says "hey do you care if I go out?" (At 3pm). I said no that's fine ..but then asked if he wanted to do something for dinner and he wouldn't give me a straight answer like he was planning to be out for the rest of the night. So now I'm kind of annoyed like that "honeymoon" stage is already over of him staying home and just chilling with me (which he said he would cut back on going out when I first told him I was pregnant) because I really don't want to sit at a bar for no reason. So I'm kind of mad now like it's only been A few days and he seems like he's just back to doing whatever he wants. Maybe I'm overreacting. I know if I told him I wanted him to stay home he would. But I want to know what to expect because it will be a long 9 months!!

Answer

He should definitely be there for you. Of course it's okay to go out once in awhile but pregnancy is a mommy AND daddy job.. It took my husband a while to realize that too. They don't really understand in the beginning. Buy him a daddy book! A lot of the things in there talk about being sensitive and there for the mother during pregnancy. It's also hard for the men to understand when you don't look pregnant. I know my husband didn't until I got a little belly and sickness kicked in! I hope this helped a little bit!

Answer

He should be spending more time in the house with you now that your expecting his baby.. But he should still be aloud to go out with his friends but maybe cut that down to once twice a week then spend the rest of the time with you

Answer

I know exactly what you're going through. But just keep in mind that you did just say he would've stayed home if you asked him to. And I think that matters most, is that you know he'll be around when you really need him to be. Now if you're sick and not feeling well and he goes out even after you asked him to stay, then you may have an argument. Honestly, I felt needy the first trimester, but I began to enjoy some of those moments to myself. I would sit on the couch and watch a movie or something. And, it worked out cause my hubby would go pick up my favorite take out food (Hibachi) before he was "allowed" to go out with his friends 😁
