Hi mylotters.. I have a problem with my hubby.. He is very loving and caring especially to our daughter.. He is the one taking care of our little angel because I don't want to quit my job.. We prefer to take care our baby personally most especially that she is still very young. My problem is, my hubby always go out at night. He said he is bored staying the whole day at home taking care of our baby.. But I hate everytime he goes out.. For me, it is fine if he goes out once in a while. However, he goes out almost every night. I talk to him but he insisted going out.. Sometimes, I feel mad about this.. What should I do? I want to stop him going out every night and coming home almost in the morning.. Should I guess he is seeing someone else? Please advice me.. i don't know what to do.. I don't like to get mad at him if possible.. Thank you in advance..

Is he telling you what will he be doing and where? In situation like that, it's very normal to get suspicious. But, of course, it's really boring to be in the house all day, trust me, really boring 'cause I'm working home-based and I'm bored as hell. Anyway, I really believe that one of the good approach is to talk and I mean, "the sit down, let's talk" approach, without one of you guys getting mad at each other. Stay calm and talk things through. Explain to him how you feel about him going every night and you could use a little understanding. Tell him how he would feel if it's you doing that. Tell him that you're not prohibiting him to go out but be sensitive enough to your feeling that every night is just overrated. Just take note that it's important to stay calm and control your temper 'cause if one of you gets mad during the conversation, it will just get worse. Good luck. Hope things will turn out well.

Hey Rayne! Thanks for the BR. Geez, he doesn't tell you where he'll be going? You guys really have a problem then. I mean, he's your husband, you have all the right to know what he's doing or where he's going, things like that. Well, I just hope that you guys work things out. I'm sure that if your husband loves you, he will have the effort to be sensitive and respectful of your feelings with regards to him, going out nightly. Good luck and don't worry too much, things will just be fine. There's nothing like a good conversation.

..thanks.. your idea is well taken.. yeah, the problem actually is that, he doesn't tell me where he goes and sometimes, he don't even ask permission from me.. I just realize he is gone after waiting for him for several minutes thinking that he just went out to buy something.. we really got to talk.. thanks again..

Talk - I know it's boring to stay at home esp. with very small children. You'll need som time with adults as well. But I would never leave the home every night. Does he have to stay in the house all day - isn't there things he could do during the days? I wouldn't spend time away from my family every night even if I'm at home all day. I would like to be with my partner as well.

..good for you.. how i wish my hubby will be like that also.. we have no choice.. he really has to baby sit because I can't leave my work.. and we don't like to get somebody to take care of our baby.. and he doesn't have a permanent job..

Well fathers are really not designed to become housebands. By nature men are most likely be always on the move and working something out to their family. I guess that is what your hubby is experiencing. He may feel a little secluded being at home all the time. I think you two should have a one on one talk about it. Tell him that he has to lessen his going out to have the two of you the chance to bond also.

I think you should talk to him about it somehow.. maybe write a letter if he doesn't listen. Communication is always important and he may be stressed that he has to be at home all the time. I think it is important to make it clear what he wants and what you want. Good luck!
