( he came back at midnight, GREAT !!! )
and today he has day off again, guess where he is now: go out with his friend, i'm at home with my 2 puppies, clean the house, washing the clothes. every time i get upset he doesn't know why and we've been together for 5 years.
i don;t want to go out that much because of the finance situation. So i stay at home do a few things , play with my dogs, watch TV and eat. My husband maybe spend time watching TV more than talking to me.
it must be so hard for you though to be there alone ( i can still talk to my mom every day, even about something else ). Maybe if you go out for a walk, talk to people , meet people, do window shopping ( that;s what i do when i go out ), and read free magazine in the book shop ( like i do here ). Hope you find the solution. OR just come here on this forum and meet us, it might make you feel a bit better. ( i spend time on this forum more than with my husband )

Try to include your oh as much as possible in making decisions for the baby, ie. nursery, clothes. That way he might get to feel that little bit more responsible for the little life growing in you.

hope all goes well for you hun and you can start enjoying your experience.
