Am I being too touchy?...just had baby and expect him to understand?

Firstly,let's get this out the way...I KNOW my hubby is not cheating on me so please leave your smutty answers out.

Ok,I just had a baby 6 weeks ago :-)..This was my 4th child.Towards the end of my pregnancy I had a bit of a hard time and could hardly walk in the end,say from 34 weeks onwards and always had to stay home resting while he made the shopping trips and school runs etc,,I really wanted to go to pick my kids up but simply couldnt manage it,despite feeling bad about it.

I am pretty much in the same position now only i am breastfeeding our now 6 week old baby..Can't get out much when it's time to feed so when the hubby goes on the school run & shopping,I still can't get.

Here's the problem...Before the pregnancy etc,,me and the hubby used to go round our village just saying Hi to the people we know and that..but now...while im stuck at home (and don't get me wrong i am extreemely happy that i have my baby!),feeling out of shape and still frumpy,he keeps coming home 20,30 minutes after WE would normally get home,when together,telling me he has been stood chatting away with first one woman then another in our village,,all of whom didnt have 2 words to say when i was there before??..he comes home knowing what i can only deem as quite personal things like how they got pregnant at a young age,women in the shops coming to the shop window waving to him while I park up the pram to go buy some baby things in the chemist,OMG Ive had enough,,,then on the little chance that I do get to go out...there's first one woman then another,chatting away like long lost friends with him..totally blanking me!!.

Please don't get me wrong,im perfectly fine with him chatting to the opposite sex,im perfectly comfortable..but why only when im not there??..and why is it never a good old 'bloke chat' he tells me about??.

Ive bit my lip in the thpoughts that it's just me and post-natal hormones but would you not be miffed if you told him how you felt and he took no notice??

Asked him to talk only tonight and he just walked back in the room to watch tv???....is it me or what??

Please..sensitive answers only,many thanks xxxx

    most women love to play games. they like to think that a happy taken man is interested in them. and even tho your husband may be a saint, i am sure he is a lil flattered that other women are talking to him. i would try to blow it off. and when he starts tlking about his conversation with this lady or that one, i would just try to change the subject and act not interested. also when you are talking to him, make sure you tlk about things other than babys, finances, or serious matters like that.

    like i said these women are just trying to make themselves feel good because your man is talking to them. if you see them out and about, act like your better than them, and blow them off. that will drop them down a notch.

    by the way. if thats you in your picture, you are so pretty! dont even sweat those women.

    I'm glad that you have a strong enough relationship that you are confident in his faithfulness to you! He is probably chatting it up with people because you guys don't get out of the house much, and he needs a little bit of social time out of the house. He is probably speaking with guys as well but you just don't quite notice it so much because the male attention he'd be getting wouldn't bother you :P You are probably a bit hormonal right now and so the attention he is getting from women is annoying you a little bit now but if you feel confident that it is nothing more than chit chat, then I would say to just try and forget about it because you are putting unneeded stress on yourself! Soon enough you will be feeling well enough to go around and say your hellos again, hang in there :)

    American hospitals that hire audiologists have needed listening to screenings for new child toddlers. you do not point out in the journey that your spouse's listening to loss is congenital, or what style of speech problems she has. i choose greater suggestion to offer you a analysis. even in the journey that your toddler does have listening to loss, she will nonetheless study to communicate with the properly suited intervention, which will incorporate listening to aids and speech clinical care. If she does not get a listening to assessment as a new child, take her to a coaching wellbeing facility (one with a clinical college) and have her examined. that's finished interior of days after beginning. do not take her to a listening to help dispenser; they are able to't attempt an toddler's listening to.

    I hate to say it but for most men, a wife and 4 kids is a lot. It doesn't even sound like he's cheating, but it does seem like he's overwhelmed with all he's dealing with. Try talking to him, at night when the kids are all in bed maybe?

    He has four kids now. It's an ego boost when women are 'interested' (even just in conversation). There's a lot our partners wont talk about to us, but they will to others. I don't know why, and I don't like it either. But, that's what they do.
