[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh I want to hug both of you, OP and husband!
No no no. Please don't do this to yourselves. You have a 5 week old. He is your priority.

Your husband needs to come to his senses and do more. He has a post-partum wife and infant who are both vulnerable. Working all day out of the home is not an excuse for doing nothing at home. He needs to bond with his baby, and look after him too.

I hope you two can figure it out. [/quote]

How is she supposed to "figure it out" when he feels little responsibility toward his child and partner? I'd bet she dropped the nuclear option because he wasn't hearing her.

He doesn't like how hard and exhausting parenting is so he unilaterally decided to check out. I know too many men like this who will make a plan with their wives and then when the rubber hits the road, they do what they want. This is a personality trait and op will probably see that he does what he wants and what benefits him for the rest of their marriage. I've seen this play out in my life and in my experience, these guys who suddenly travel more post partum don't care about their wives, don't respect them and are the guys who jump into an affair just to escape the hard parts.

I was lucky my dh was very invested in our children and rolled up his sleeves and helped tremendously despite having a very stressful high level job. Op isn't childish, she's facing that her spouse is not at all who he pretended to be. [/quote]
