Dh ignoring me while taking a weekend trip

[Anonymous]

I am on a 4-day trip with our 5-year-old. He stayed home with the 3 year old. He has ignored us all day. I sent cute pictures of our 5-year-old at the museum and didn't get a response. Usually, we don't text a lot but if we are on a trip we will text more I.e. Letting each other know we are boarding stuff like that. The whole weekend I feel he's been standoffish. I went out of my way to bring him his favorite food. I got a cooler bag and ice packs. I may just eat the food myself 😆 I don't think he's up to anything because we don't have a babysitter locally. Whenever he goes the younger one will have to go. I think he's mad he didn't come but I asked him to come and he declined. He doesn't value vacations/ trips and is super stressed with work but won't admit it. We've been married for 12 years.

I feel like you're trying to borrow trouble here. Just enjoy the trip with your 5 year old.

" ... I think ..." is useless

You are picking a fight.

Have you been drinking? This is all loony tunes. Who imagines their husband with a 3 year old to watch using that time to get it on with some floozy? Pulleaze…

Op here. Hahaha maybe reading this forum too much

You need to chill out. He’s focused on the 3 year old and not on you.

So he's stressed and was also parenting alone this weekend. And he obviously did respond but not as much as you want. So you plan to eat his favorite food as punishment? Enjoy being divorced in a few years. You sound like a drama queen nightmare

Are you the poster who took the older child to NYC while leaving the younger one at home because he pees everywhere?

[Anonymous]

I don't understand this post op like what do you mean you left him with a cooler with his favorite at home???

What???

Perhaps he's taking a much needed break from you.

My husband is not “attached” to his phone and the phone only rings with calls, not texts. If it’s something important I call him. Otherwise I will text him but I don’t assume he’s sitting by his phone waiting for a text.

Op here he has not responded since yesterday afternoon. Going a day and a half without communication is very unusual.

So he's being a much more focused parent to your 3 year old than you are to your 5 year old and you think he has a problem? The problem is that 3 year olds take much more attention than 5 year olds, so he needs to focus more on your younger child than on his phone.

You should not expect responses to your texts unless there is a question or a problem that you need a response to. There is no reason that he needs to respond to a bunch of photos of your 5 year old enjoying himself on vacation.

I have been hauling around a cooler to keep the food I bought him fresh.

Your on vacation buying him food from where? And why didn't you just bring him with you then?
