Am I Wrong?

My baby daddy has been going to drill(marines) in other states Thursday thru Saturday for the past 3 weeks now. I already take on 85% of the parenting responsibility but it’s starting to weigh on me especially since I don’t have an outlet/friends. While he’s gone he’s going out for dinner, drinks, casino. On Sundays when he’s home he’s still going out to a taproom here. Am I wrong to be upset that he’s “living it up” while away?

Your feelings are valid

you’re definitely not wrong for feeling the way you feel. you should talk about it and try to come to a resolution. otherwise you’re going to end up resenting him for things unsaid. express yourself boo, that’s the only way things are going to change.

Id be more upset about him going out when he is home than going out while away.

I have told him about my feelings just last weekend. And I’m mad about both but I think I’m more mad about him doing it while he’s home when I would like a break for a few hours.

Soooo valid. My man’s a pipeliner so I get taking on the load… like they didn’t help make these babies. I’m super petty though. Once a week is what we’ve agreed on, he has to be home by 10 to FaceTime me before bed and I have a set amount of money I make him Apple Pay me when he goes out… cus if I’m gonna be home brewing his baby and taking care of the house and doing this all by myself the least he can do is make sure I can go shopping😂😂 I’m so pregnant and a little crazy so these rules are new but they make me feel better. lol

well if there’s no change, than you’re gonna have to readjust. and make your own changes! there’s no one that can watch your baby for a couple hours while you get some time to yourself??

whenever he’s coming home, make sure you get ready and dressed so when he gets there, all you gotta do is say “i’m going xyz” let him know when the baby ate and everything and get out the door as fast possible honey! you have to want it though. we can’t lose ourselves in our children. as much as we love them, we are still humans who had a life and interests before them. we’re not robots, we do still have emotions, just gotta find your groove now. it took me a while to get here! so i know you got this mama 💪🏾

85%? Sounds about right. What’s the point of men again? lol

Sounds like you both had a kid but only one of your lives changed. Your feelings are definitely valid
