How to approach this convo...
I’m going on a getaway next weekend with a few girls to celebrate one of my oldest friends getting married. We’re staying in a beautiful cabin and I am SO excited. I’m going for 2 nights, we’re all vaccinated and all need a negative PCR to attend so I’m comfortable. My husband will be home with our daughters (3y and 6m). I am so confident he can handle it as he is a very hands on dad and a part of our daily routine. BUT anytime I leave our house, he bombards me with texts, calls, questions, etc. It drives me insane. I can’t ever just relax even at the grocery store. Whenever he leaves the house I never bother him because I know how crazy home life can be and I know he needs time to breathe. I need to approach him this week and ask him to please not do this to me while I’m away, but I don’t want to appear insensitive or make him feel like I don’t care. Our 3yo is at that tough age and I know she’s bound to give him a rough time at some point. He is the type that’ll text or call me to vent and I’ll end up feeling so guilty. I also don’t want him to think I don’t want to hear from him. He is really sensitive to things, so I want to be sensitive in my convo. I very rarely take time away from my family, so I am so excited to let my hair down.
