This isn't a pity me post or a hey help me cheer up post by any means. I'm just super frustrated right now....

My husband and I got pregnant in February after a double date with some good friends. I've been telling him since April I expect him to plan the next date night because I'm the one that always plans them, gets a sitter for our son and ensures everything is lined up. We have gift cards we received IN JANUARY that came with the promise of FREE babysitting to accommodate dinner and a movie. Even knowing this he hasn't put in the effort to ask the people. We literally would only spend gas money. There would be nothing out of pocket.

So this morning I found an article scrolling through Facebook talking about how needed date nights are. I sent it to him and he says, "I know, I set up our date night this weekend." Cue irrational 33 week hormonal anger...

I look him straight in the face and corrected him, "No actually and I worked out the playdate 3 weeks ago when something got messed up on her end ME AND HER changed it to a sleepover. You had nothing to do with that at all. It's really frustrating you can't just ask so we can use those gift cards before baby comes."

And he literally said nothing. He just got up and put his boots on for work!

Now my husband's not a bad guy. He's amazing. He's caring, helps around the house since my morning sickness kicked back up. So he works 10 hour days and cleans the house when I can't, helps with our dogs and son. He attends soccer practices, games and cub scouts as well as church and appointments. He mows the grass, takes care of my car, does the laundry etc.

I'm just really frustrated that we haven't had a date since February because he won't ask someone to take our son but then complains that we never get time away from the house with each other. Idk I just wish he would take the initiative. He ALWAYS asks what he could do and I tell him plan our date. And we see the people who promised the free night at least twice a week at church and we have both the husband and wife's number. It's just hard that despite his complaints he won't do the one thing to make it better for us both. Cause after years of doing all the planning he even agreed it was his turn.
