Am I too clingy?
My SO works late most night because he runs his own entertainment business. He’ll come home anywhere between 9pm-230am. He is always there if I need him. Since having a baby I’ve been really wanting him nearby. But, he does shoulder the responsibility of supporting our family and is trying to be both a dad and a provider. Our son is only 5 months old and although I bear most of the responsibilities with our boy and do the night feedings, my husband rarely gets sleep because he wakes up when babe does. He is working an event at his business this Saturday night. The event ends at 230am and he has to clean up and set everything up for an event the following morning. He said it wouldn’t make sense for him to drive 20 minutes to come home to only have to wake up an hour later and drive back. He said he’ll be staying at work the entire night. This means I won’t see him From Saturday until Sunday evening. We do have a sitter Sunday evening so we can go in a date. I hate when he pulls these all nighters because I want him around...I want him close by,..but then I know he needs to continue working on his business and he is in the event world...I knew this when I married him...and it’s not unusual for him to work events until the wee hours of the morning. I told him I didn’t want to be alone and he suggested I spend the night at his work with the baby. I’d like to but I feel so clingy. Should I just stay at home and let him work and do his thing? My godmother said I should go and I shouldn’t let him work an event alone because sometimes he likes to join in on the fun while the event is happening and it’s unfair for me to be alone with baby 🤷♀️ my goal here is to have a forever marriage and strong healthy family. Should I follow him at work and stay there? He has a beautiful living suite. Or should I stay home, let him work even if it means he might party a little during the event and see him on Sunday?
