Advice on how to reconnect?
*warning long post
Little insight to our life: My husband and I have been together 5 years, although we recently got married this past December. Our relationship has had it's fair shares of ups and downs in the past and I feel we do still have a pretty strong relationship as a whole but lately things have been difficult. He's raised my oldest as his own since she was a little over a year old, we have an almost two year old and are currently expecting number 3 in July, he's always been a fantastic father. Since our daughter was born I've been lucky enough to be a stay at home mom and he works so hard to provide above and beyond for us. We own our own home, own both vehicles. We've always been able to talk openly even when it comes to the difficult things. And our sex life has always been satisfying as in the fire is still there, with the occasional dry spells.
But as with any good thing, life happens. Like I said we are expecting baby number 3, so along with the excitement comes the financial stress, getting things ready, worrying how we will juggle 3 kids and keep our sanity. At the end if December my father in law had a fall, and came to stay with us so i could care for him through the day and what not. Mid January due to a blood clot from the fall he unexpectedly passed away. His passing has effected all of us greatly as we were extremely close, my husband especially as you can imagine...they were best friends. Along with emotionally this loss has effected us finacially as he had no life insurance and we paid out if pocket for the funeral and all. Since his passing my husband has become more snappy and here and there making comments I know he doesn't mean. He's distanced himself, and came to me to hold him both at times. Ive been patient and gave him space and been forgiving of his outbursts. But with all that's been happening we have drifted apart some.
With Valentine's day around the corner I'm looking for advice or suggestions on what I could do special for him or ways we could reconnect again? I want to remind him he's more than a daddy, a grieving son, an employee and all that and make him feel good about himself, showing him he's still the amazing man I fell in love with and I'm still crazy about him.
