Long, I'm sorry. Just help meeee.

Desiree • Tue, Nov 10

Oh man. So a little background before I start this: my husband and I moved from Boston to Virginia about 3 months ago, however my husband had to stay and finish a project he was working on (he restores old European cars) and it took longer than expected. He was staying with my aunt, uncle, and cousin while he finished so that we wouldn't have to pay rent in Boston AND in Virginia. He came down for a little while to spend time with me and, because I'm 6 1/2 months pregnant, he stayed so that he could actually help out and go to a few doctors appointments with me because it's been so hard on both of us not living with each other during the beginning of my pregnancy.

Anyway, my husband just went back up to Boston and will be done for good around Thanksgiving. The baby is making me hormonal and it was really tough to say goodbye after spending so much time together. So he gets back up there and tells me that my aunt and uncle have hired a new babysitter for my cousin (who is 8). I used to be the babysitter because I was finishing up my degree and needed a little extra income, so I know that their schedules are so busy and random and she'll be spending a lot of time there. She's about my age. I KNOW I TOTALLY BROUGHT THIS ON MYSELF but I asked him if she's pretty and he said yes, that she's a 7 (on the 1-10 scale). Now I'm feeling so shitty because I'm super pregnant and not confident and sad. I trust him but still feeling so down :( help me feel not down :( they're going to be spending a lot of time together. Ugh. I hate this. He's a great guy but what if he sees what he's missing out on. I know it's kind of insulting to him to say that but I'm a wreck about this. talking to him doesn't help because he understands but not the best at comforting people. We've been together for four years, are married, and expecting a baby soon but my self confidence lately has been shit. Ugh. UGHHHH.
