He also never really wants to participate in any activities involving child care, and he frequently makes remarks about needing a break from the baby.
Her husband’s job requires him to travel for 1 week each month, so in her eyes, he does have a ton of time away from being a dad, though it’s not enough for him. He really wants them to go on an elaborate vacation with just the two of them, but that’s not going to happen anytime soon.
Money has been tight for them, as the new job she picked up doesn’t pay nearly as well as her old one, and child care is expensive. Vacation isn’t in the cards in the near future for them at all.
“He’ll never say it, but I think he blames my daughter for stealing the life we had before away from him and I don’t know what to do,” she explained.
“I hate the idea that a piece of him doesn’t want our daughter and it’s driving a wedge between us. We’re just not as happy as we were before. We fight, we’re tired all the time…I’ve tried to be the positive one, the sexy one, the strong one, and carry both of us, but at what point do I decide he’s just not father material and move on? I don’t want my daughter ever feeling like she’s unwanted, I’m worried staying with him will be signing both of us up for unhappy life.”
Do you think there’s a way for her husband to fix this, or does it seem like he’s just not happy being a dad and won’t ever be?
