Any woman who reads that title will likely scoff at me and think me selfish for even thinking about how difficult pregnancy is on the male partner. I have been married for three and a half years. It has never been easy. I have often gone out to a movie during a fight just to feel safe and taken care of.
Pregnancy isn’t what I expected. I thought my wife might become constantly irrational and moody and eat everything in sight. Instead, she has had more than her share of vomiting. She is rational 85% of the time. And 15% of the time, she bites my head off or howls at the moon (practically). She’s actually rather composed for a pregnant woman. All she wants is to lay out and get some sun to feel better. Damn this rain! I don’t mind it, but it’s driving her mad. I’m literally wondering if she’s going to attack me when she gets that upset.
Why can’t it stay sunny for two days? That would be more than enough to help her cheer up. Or even every other day would be awesome.
Oh, there’s lots more than weather issues. She hates spending money. She wants to save/invest it all. I want to have an easy life, so I want to go out to eat and do whatever it takes to make her feel better (massages, chiropractor, nails, hair, clothes, whatever). I’m desperate for her to feel good.
Did I mention that I worry about how our baby is affected by all the doom and gloom? I am. I feel certain that my life began with powerfully negative emotions based on the emotional status of my mother. I could be wrong. Obviously, I can’t go back in time to find out. But my child is growing inside her, and is obviously affected by her outlook on life. I will do practically anything for both wife and child to enjoy this precious time of intimate growth.
And I am more than open to suggestions.
