[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do you want him to say? And why won't you say that to yourself?[/quote] Op here. So some of the things I was freaking out about were that DH works an opposite schedule to me so I’m often alone with the children in the evenings. I was telling him I don’t know how Im going to do that if I can’t walk/can’t pick up our one year old. DH also has travel scheduled next week, and I’m going to be possibly needing surgery for my ankle (didn’t know that at the time but I was afraid it might be the case) and it is not something that can be cancelled easily. What would have helped at the time is if he could have said something like “you know, you’re right, those things are going to be challenging and we are going to have to figure them out.” That’s what I mean by acknowledging/validating. [/quote] But had he said that you would have accused him of patronizing you. Or needled him about a plan.[/quote]
