[quote=Anonymous]Just a story to make you feel better: my husband is a truly wonderful father. He is a partner in parenting 100% and has never made me question his dedication or enthusiasm for our children (now 3 and 1). When I was 36 or so weeks pregnant with my first, he got so wasted at the rehearsal dinner of some friends (I went home around 11, telling him to stay a bit longer but thinking that meant 1 or 2), coming home around 4, incoherently mumbling and trying to pee in the corner of the hotel room. This was rare behavior for him at the time but completely shocking to me given my late pregnancy. I was livid, and he got it, but it hadn't occurred to him, I suppose, that it might bother me ahead of time (the drinking- the peeing.... Pretty sure that was a surprise to both of us). Anyways, if all other behavior points to him being on-board, invested, willing to grow up, etc., it could just be that this pregnancy just isn't real to him like it is for you until the baby actually shows up. Your life has already changed with the pregnancy and the baby whose movements inside you make you very aware of how real (s)he is, but the need to change behaviors (not that this is a normal thing for him, which you said it wasn't) may not come for him until the baby comes.
