The struggle is real 😢
I'm going to apologize for the long read but I really need some advice.
I'm 33 weeks pregnant (tomorrow) and have been in the hospital for off and on over the last 3-4 weeks due to high blood pressure and gestational diabetes. My husband only comes to see me on the weekends due to working late with his job during the week and I am at a my hospital is over an hour away from my house. I am here because of being so high risk and delivering at 34 weeks.
Anyways, while my husband "stays" home to sleep with his sleep apnea machine and take care of the dog, he had been going out a lot more. I understand he has no responsibilities as of now except the dog but it makes me feel terrible that I am locked up in the hospital and he's out partying. Last night getting drunk at the bar and randomly getting a number from another woman and he respectfully declined (I trust him) and he's out with friends both tonight and tomorrow night. I mean he spent 6 hours with me today and will spend more time with me tomorrow (if he gets home at a decent time and gets up early enough) but I still feel kind of sad and lonely. This is his last weekend out because I will be staying at a local charity house until our son gets out of the NICU. He'll be up on the weekends during the day and the day after our son is born (getting days off is very difficult for him with his job). I just want to know if any other moms have gone through this? Maybe it's just my emotions but it's tough going through all this and he acts like he's a free man. I don't want to stress and get my blood pressure up but it's hard not to be pissed off at times.
