[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of posters are skimming over the fact that this guy had a stillborn with OP. That is massively traumatic. Beyond just adapting to the difficulties of having a newborn, he may also be dealing with unresolved grief, trauma, and guilt over the loss of that baby. OP have you guys been to therapy or had grief counseling? I mean, I can see a situation where he has PTSD or trauma from that experience, has unresolved grief, is terrified of losing this new baby, and feels guilt that that your first baby didn’t survive, and feels guilt for enjoying this baby, and is terrified to get close to the baby, is using avoidance of mom and this new baby and sports and gambling to numb himself from his feelings.

Agree - if he won’t go to couples counseling, maybe he will go to individual counseling. Especially if op says she is going too and verbalizes that it is hard for her too. Op may or may not be feeling the things that the pp wrote above but saying them out loud may get her dh to open up. Especially as she said he was really looking forward to family time before they lost their first baby (so, sorry for your loss, op). There is likely a lot to sort out for both of them and they are each dealing with it in their own way. They had a major tragedy and that should not be overlooked. [/quote]
