My husband has 2 daughters. They are tweens now and trying to figure out what their father is to them. He hasn’t been all that involved in their life thanks to their mother and the Army.
Anyways, his youngest is 10 and barely knows him. She’s only had a few hours with him at a time since she was a toddler.
The other day we were talking to his younger daughter online (she has a facebook now) and she told him “I have to go now, got to talk to Ashly (me)”
He got all upset about this and was telling me how that hurt his feelings. Well tonight, as he was leaving for the gym his daughter came online again. I ran outside (horribly painful back and all) and told him that she was online. I asked him if he would want to stay and talk to her instead and he says “instead of what?” I actually had to EXPLAIN to him instead of going to the gym!!! He still voted on the gym.
I’m sorry but if these are the ways that you make this kind of decision don’t be shocked when they don’t want to get to know you. Obviously you just proved that all your talk about how they are your number 1 priority is just talk.
I don’t know about anyone else but someone being my number one priority means I would literally drop anything that won’t result in someone dying for that person.
I just don’t feel he should be so shocked at their decision making when he presents them with these examples. (No I didn’t tell her that he chose to go lift weights than talk to her)
Nate is starting to hit the emotional breaks from an impending deployment. We had an argument last weekend where he wanted to divorce but still live together just like we were married and only get back together if I made it through “successful” (btw we will be hitting our 4 year anniversary this fall)
I obviously told him no. Sorry, we said our vows and that means forever. I won’t agree to that situation and I won’t do anything to hurt him. I understand why he’s upset and I change a lot of things for him but this isn’t something I’m willing to budge on.
I think he’s reacting like this because he realizes that I can inflict pain on him while he’s gone and that scares him. Am I wrong?
