First Valentine's day as a married woman

We went out , gave the baby to my MIL. And then my husband starts an argument over text with his mom , I ignored it and then she was like "I'm coming are you ready to leave" meaning we had better be ready to leave because we do things on HER time. And so my husband was like "you're ready to go right" I just said yeah thats fine what the fuck ever. Came home and then got into a conversation with my husband about how him and his mom ruined MY Valentine's day date by arguing over the phone. She doesn't know I'm even angry and husband doesn't think he was wrong and thinks I should've defended him. I just wanted one date without having the baby for a few hours. It was horrible. I don't even want to go anywhere anymore. It's almost like it's easier to stay home with my kid than even try to go on a date with her father without him doing things.

I may be missing something but what about the argument he had with his mom made you feel the date was ruined. Did he continue to talk it it while you were out? Or did he treat you differently because he was upset with his mom?

It was the first time I had been out of the house without the baby in a while

It was like my second date without the baby since I had her 5 months ago.

Got it. I can see how you felt it was ruined becauseyou were expecting it to be a seamless enjoyable evening. Hopefully, he can make it up to you. I don't think the argument should keep you from having a good time though. Sometimes, you just have to make the best of it. I've been there before. My therapist has encouraged me to not let temporary feeling disrupt what could be an enjoyable memory.

Honestly I think some of this is post partum hormones. A lot of couples don't get out for dates or valentines day. I have a 2 year old and we've never been out together without her.

@Rosie I agree, my son is 8 months and we’ve not had a single minute alone since he was born , that’s just being a parent

The reason that they were arguing about matters alot here. If it was something small that he could have controlled I would be upset but if it was something a bit bigger you can’t be mad at him for having feelings. It definitely was bad timing but he is only human lol

I’m sorry girl that is super frustrating 🫂
