When I said what do you do for you I was thinking more along the lines of what are you passionate about? YOU as a woman. Not a mom, wife, etc. I love yoga and reading too. What kind of books do u like?
I am working, commuting, going to school, and dealing with craziness with BF and my mom...so believe me, "me time" is few and far between. When I move and find a new place, I am going to try to focus on yoga more, since it is my favorite thing to do. Planning a yoga retreat type trip is a long term goal, but one that I am going to try to focus on after I move...save $$ for, and make happen!
Anyway, sometimes even though I don't have time to DO all the things I want to, it is fun to imagine them...and it takes my mind off BF sitch. And I remember who I really am.
Glad to hear you venting about MIL. Totally valid. Why is your H so odd about his mom? What are the issues behind their relationship? I remember you mentioning her when the baby came. You have a good relationship with her, right? Is he weird because he is close with her and maybe she pressures him for answers about you guys?
Sometimes I feel that my BF is weird around his parents or our close friends (one nosy, loud, and opinionated Puerto Rican woman in particular!!) because they might ask him for answers to things that he doesn't want to discuss.
Anyway...kudos for handling the baby sitch well. And good for him for doing some good things for you. Don't feel silly, we all feel untrusting when we have been hurt by the one we love. You are showing that you have moved past things by not verbalizing the concerns to him, and waiting to see what happens. Either way, win win for baby (and you) for having quality time with daddy!
