[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you’re a saint for approaching this as kindly as you are.

When my babies were 7 weeks old, my DH would have gotten the riot act if he’d tried to pull this needy, man-baby BS.

Really. You are beyond generous. [/quote]

+1. Sorry op, I don’t think it’ll get better with your dh. He needs to man up and wear his big boy pants on and be husband and father, supporting you and caring for HIS children. Both your lives have changed the day you brought those kids home.[/quote]

He is caring for his children. Is he not allowed to have emotional needs as well? [/quote]

He is allowed to have emotional needs, he is also allowed to express them appropriately. Giving his wife the silent treatment for canceling date night at 7 weeks postpartum with twins, is not what I would consider a “healthy expression of emotional needs” but closer to emotional abuse. Also, while op describes him as “sensitive”, he is showing incredible degree of insensitivity by not being there emotionally for HER. Also, what grown up person would tell a spouse that she “don’t love him as much anymore, that I love the babies more, that I’m not emotionally supporting him enough anymore”. He wants her to tell him that she loves him more or equally to children? May be its ppd, but may be its just his personality that is showing more as the rubber has hit the road in their lives. She will always be his emotional support and for both of their sakes I hope they have easy lives cause the burden would be on her to carry them emotionally through any difficulties - like it is happening right now.[/quote]
