Re: heartbroken wife
TS,
I assume you and your hubby are still young. Probably in your 20s. A male that age is at a boy-man phase. Strength in his arms, little in his brains. He will want to taste the world more than he wants to build a family.
You married too early. Had a kid too early.
You will, of course adore your child and wonder why he is not into it. You are built as a woman to have motherly instincts. He will struggle with career, friends and practical life, and wonder why you are not into it either. He is built as a man to provide. Herein lies the mother of all battles. Two differently built species trying to live life together.
Married couples with children go through this all the time. You find it overwhelming because you are young. Your picture of a beautiful family is becoming a harsh reality. Yes, baby is cute. We all know. But bringing one up is challenging.
My only advice is to communicate more with your hubby. Yes, you will quarrel when you do. It is almost guaranteed. You have to find a middle ground somewhere, where you don't force your views too strongly.
Above all, you should submit yourself to your hubby. It is very hard to win an argument with your man.
I reckon you will not agree because you are young and as with all young people, think you have a better way of doing it. I leave it to you to find out more about this truth in your journey.
