thanks for checking shakspr. I've been having a good couple of weeks so far. H is less crazy. I think I may have figured out a little bit about communicating with him. He has been wanting the baby and I to be around him more. I think it helped that he no longer has to be out of town for work. It probably helps his stress level not to "have to be responsible" for baby and I. I am trying not to listen to my friends who are still angry at him for not 'manning up'. They have the best interest for the baby and me, but i am still standing for my M.
I am also not letting my H's mood affect my mood as much as possible. He stresses and gets anxiety so easily.He has been really nice to me for the most part, making breakfast for me in the weekend, letting me sleep in during the weekend( i deserve it since i take care of the baby all week), but these are nice gestures from him compared to him not caring much the last few months. I've complimented him on how well he is bonding with baby and what a good father he is for spending time with her, although i know he needs to spend more time. but seems like things are working.
