Emotional or Justified?

Question

My husband always gives me a hard time about me letting him go do whatever he wants without having to feel like he has to check in. Tonight my cousin called and asked for help loading a safe into his truck. 2 hours later my husband is still not home and I haven't heard from him so I try to call a few times and he doesn't answer. After about 20 minutes I finally get a hold of him through my cousin and when he gets on the phone I lose it (not yelling just upset) and start crying. And he wonders why I don't like not hearing from him for long periods of time. I wonder if it's just me being emotional since we are waiting to find out if we will get the BFP or if I have good reasons to be upset. Opinions?

Answer

I don't think home being gone for 2 hours to help your cousin is any reason to freak out on him. Maybe if it had been like 4 or 5 hours and you hadn't heard anything. But 2 hours? Just relax a little. Don't you trust him?

Answer

My husband is a commercial fisherman, out on the ocean regardless of the weather. I have no contact with him all day long because he has no reception. I know what time he normally is due home, and because of what he does I give him a 2-3 hour window for being late. For me.. because of his Job.. after 3 hours I start to worry that maybe somwthing happen to the boat, maybe someone fell overboard... a number of different things..lol.. 2 hours while helping YOUR cousin. .. give  him some space... maybe he needed a little guy time.

Answer

You are not his mother he shouldnt have a bed time or have to call and check in, two hours is not a long time, im sure its just the stress you have been going through but losen the reins give the man some breathing space

Answer

I think after 2 hours is maybe a little premature. Try discussing how long he's going to be before he goes out. If my husband is out I leave him to it. I'll maybe send a txt but I don't get upset / annoyed if he doesn't answer straight away x

Answer

Well whenever I go anywhere or my S/O goes somewhere we always let each other know. And we text each other regularly because we just like to talk to each other. But if I know he is busy then I wouldn't be upset after 2 hours because I know he'll text or call when he can.

Answer

If you're married and ttc, he should have the consideration to at least text you. I don't think you're being emotional at all. I think it's just better if we let someone know where we are and when.

Answer

I'm a paranoid wife.. Accidents happen I always think the worst but I would get upset if he didn't let me noe he was okay tell him how you feels I don't see it as checking in just to give me peace of mind that he's not hurt or something we are woman we think a lot of stuff men just don't get it

Answer

Honestly i really could careless how long my fiancee is out i trust him and i know hes faithful. Now b4 i would have been like get the hell out ur cheating this and that cuz of my trust issues but since getting over that hurtal and he being by my side and helping me im not that way anymore. Its natural to worry but to filp out thats more of an emotinal thing especially if ur waiting to see if ur pregnant sounds like it could b stress. Wen i stress ill get emotinal about him being out for long periods of time. Thats just me tho everyone is different and has different oppinions

Answer

You have a right to be mad but not to scream and cry. Maybe you're emotions are extra sensitive because you're pregnant?

Answer

From my perspective that seems super sketchy. My husband willingly always gives me a heads up on what he's doing how long it'll be etc. that's out of respect for your spouse so they don't worry.
