She Told Her Husband That She Wants Him To Abstain From Drinking Once She Eventually Gets Pregnant, But He Thought That Was A Strange Request
Just a couple of nights ago, this 23-year-old woman and her husband, who is also 23, were discussing their future. And eventually, they got onto the topic of how they wanted to move closer to her family when they started having kids.
To be clear, she and her husband do not plan to have children anytime soon. In fact, they aren’t looking to start for at least another five years.
Nonetheless, the topic of pregnancy came up, and they had another hypothetical conversation.
“I told my husband that I know he’ll be very supportive of me when I do eventually get pregnant,” she recalled.
She also laughed and made a joke about how she would miss sipping on Prosecco with him over dinner while they enjoyed their usual date nights at home.
At that point, her husband also laughed and claimed that he would just drink enough for the both of them.
But while he may have been joking, that statement got her thinking.
“I then said that most likely, in the future, when I’m pregnant, I wouldn’t want him to drink around me,” she revealed.
She claimed that if her husband did indulge in some cocktails, it would make her feel left out of an activity that they used to enjoy together.

She did clarify that if her husband went out solo with friends, or even if she went out with them, he would be “free to drink” and get whatever he wanted.
“But when it was just the two of us, I would prefer that he abstain,” she said.
Well, while it made sense in her head, her husband was a bit confused by her perspective. In fact, he didn’t think her request was a “normal thing” to ask of a partner.
So now, she has been left wondering if asking her husband not to drink around her when she’s pregnant one day was really so strange or not.
Is it “normal” for both partners to abstain from drinking while they’re expecting a baby or not? Can you understand why she doesn’t want her husband to drink? Would it also make sense for him to stop in case she needed to unexpectedly go to the hospital?
