My wife and I have been together for 5 years.
Shes pregnant with our first right now.
At first I didnt even know what that meant.
This concept is and still seems very strange to me.
The decision to bring a child in the world is both partners decision.
I looked at her, almost shocked and began laughing.
I said if she really wants an extra car, itll be OUR car, not just hers.
She pressed more and said how it isnt enough for what she will go through.
She kept pushing and pushing and asked me if I think shes not worthy enough.
That she has to manage her expectations because I dont see why she feels she deserves that.
It came out wrong but I didnt mean to dismiss her as a person.
She isnt speaking to me and is crying arguing about it.
I feel bad she is hurting right now but I dont feel bad for giving her a reality check.
It doesnt need to be extravagant to be meaningful.
It needs to be organic in nature and expectations from both partners need to be on the same page.
Talking about this particular case, Smith believes it was a mixed communication and a mismatched expectation.
He just didnt quite capture what it is she wanted, and his response made her feel hurt.
