You should hear the crap he is spewing about me breast feeding (he says that it's my body that will decide how long I breast feed) and questioning why I'm going to take the whole 12 weeks of maternity leave.
My H is pushing me to pump so he can take S...he's only 7 wks old! I told him 'we're not ready yet'. Anyway...YOU will decide how long you will breastfeed for...make that clear to him. 12 WEEKS mat leave??? Sorry to tell you this, but here in Canada I get a full year. I'm deathly afraid I'll have to go back at 6 months for financial reasons never mind 12 weeks! Don't you go back a second before you're ready. You will never get this time back with your baby and you need to relish and every moment you're entitled to...he's already taken enough away from you.

I am still in the stage of trying to woo him back by spending time with him and telling him that the person he saw on the hormones the last 9 months is not the person I really am, he just left before that one came back.
Errrr...have you read DR?? I have to be honest about something blindsided and I hope I don't offend you...one of the reasons why I stopped posting on your site is because it is exactly the same thing over and over. Now I know we all have a tendancy to do this...but you really keep doing what will have the OPPOSITE affect of what you want. I do stop by to read up...and see you're getting the same advice and support...but I don't see you getting it. Stop trying to woo him! Trust me I get where you are...I would give ANYTHING to go back to your stage of pregnancy and know what I know now. If I had started to DB then...I probably wouldn't be here now. I really feel for you and I in no way mean to demean your feelings...this is still relatively new to you and time will help a lot. But you've got some great advice resourses that will help if you find the courage to implement them...I know you've got it!
I'm going to post this on your thread as well... (((hugs))) J~
