So my husband wants to take a week off from work to see his parents in Maryland which is 5 hours away (not that long) ......I think a week is too long.....am I being unreasonable cause I feel a bad attitude coming.
A week is never to long for him to see his parents. If his parents don’t get to see him often. Can you go with him?
Why don't you think leaving you home alone pregnant is okay? You are only 26 weeks pregnant. Are you having complications where baby might come early? If not, then I don't see a problem with him leaving you unless you are within a month of being due maybe. Back to the original question... I don't think visiting them for a week is too long. I'm sure in the future you wouldn't want your kids being told by a spouse that they can't visit you for that long 🤷🏼♀️
So are you upset that he's visiting his parents, that he's visiting friends, or that he's leaving you alone for a week?
Honestly if we didn't have a kid yet and hubs wanted to leave me alone for a week I'd be fine with it - even while pregnant. Unless there's some reason I need him physically present to support me.
Not his parents at all. Really it's his friends and the duration. When I visit my family it's only during the weekend because of the fact that I dont want to leave my husband for that long
@felicity300079 it could be a "last hurrah" sort of thing for him if he's visiting friends before baby comes and you get too far along. If you're this upset about it though it's definitely something you have to talk about with him.
Well we are both active duty, and both of are parents are the next state over, because of the fact that I'm pregnant I dont think leaving me at home for a week is okay. Thing is my husband thinks friends is a number 1 priority to see.... but what people dont see is that when your in the military people dont make a effort to see you when you visit but want you to bend over backwards to maintain a relationship....
A week isn’t long. It’s a pretty typical amount of time to go visit somewhere
I just went to MD to visit my family for 2 weeks lol its 8 hrs from where I live so we dont go back much once or twice a year
My husband goes to see his family once a year. Sometimes I go with and sometimes I stay home. It’s usually a couple of weeks since they live in Florida. It doesn’t bother me because I know he misses them.
I don’t think that’s too long. Those are his parents. I’m sure in 20 years or so you wouldn’t want your kid’s SO telling them to shorten their visit with you.
Depends how often he sees them and how long it will be till he gets to see them again. I'm close to my parents so a week wouldn't be long enough!
Well my parents are both in Heaven so I would say spend as much time with your parents while they are in the land of the living. Thats just my personal opinion
A week is a good while. What about the weekend and maybe take a day or two before and after to be together. I love my in laws to death but couldn’t stay more than 3 days with them 😂
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
TWW!!
2dpo and on the tww journey. Anyone on the same dpo or close? Haven't decided if I will test at 12dpo or just wait and see if she shows up!!

A new post for katie058 and hopefully bcappel soontoo, as ours got too long!
I can't see the full comment you left me.... I can only see something about why do I think it's okay for him to leave you while pregnant.... what does he need to be there for while you are pregnant? Like I previously said, are you high risk? Does doctor think baby is going to come early? If not, then there is nothing going on in your pregnancy that would make it necessary for him to not leave. What can he do for you if you make him stay home? You can't take care of yourself? You are only 26 weeks pregnant. Even if you were further along, you should be able to take care of yourself.
