Me earlier:Does HE want to be the child and resents the fact that you have other actual children that need to be mothered? Does he want to be mothered, but doesn't feel it's culturally acceptable or manly to admit that? What is he like when he's sick? Strong and stoic or baby-ish and whiny
Yes, I do get the feeling that he wants to be the child, and needs a mother. He's very baby-ish and definately whiny when he's sick!
Birth control is not a problem, what gave me reason to wonder if that was H's reason, is that he takes promises given, etc, very seriously. He's Lutheran, but we were married in the Catholic church, and we went through the necessary counseling, so I wondered if he had the misconception that ML is only for making babies in his head. This didn't stop him before marriage - but he hadn't made any 'deals' yet then, either. It was just a thought I had had. I think I can say from the response I got this morning I was barking up the wrong tree, but who knows.
