he should go back to counseling... i think anyways.

Wow! It never occurred to me that the session would "highlight our differences"... i knew it would be incrdibly hard, which is partially why I am avoiding it. H is more interested in going to co-parenting Counseling than I am. it scares me bc he probably wants me to understand that he will be a father in his own way than what i expect... so would you say it was useless?

I understand how your H believes that being a father is much different than what you expect from him. H and I, probably like you and your H, dreamt of having a baby for so long, and created so many ideas and dreams of how we would raise our babies... and now he is doing the complete opposite. now he swears he will be father of the year, just because it is different that how we always planned, it can still work. he has "friends" and knows people who made it work.

some men have no concept that becoming a parent begins upon conception, not only at the birth. even at birth I wonder how many of them actually are aware of how miraculous a baby is...
