Woman Wants To Take A Vacation With Her Husband, He Doesn’t Want To Leave Their Daughter

A child can alter the dynamics of a relationship.

Raising a child can be challenging. Even if you have a child with a partner you adore, a lot can change in a relationship when a child enters the picture. I’m not saying you’ll stop loving your significant other or anything, but the dynamics can shift. After all, you now have a tiny human being to look after, and you control everything about them. That is why a relationship can become stale because both parents are so focused on the child that they forget to put effort into their relationship. Most of the time, by the time they realise what has happened, it is too late, and the relationship is irreparable. That is why it is necessary to set aside some time to enjoy your partner’s company.

However, none of this is simple or easy to accomplish. As demonstrated by the following story. The poster of this story and her husband have a lovely two-year-old daughter, as you can see. They haven’t had time to spend with each other or work on their relationship since she became pregnant. And, as much as she adores her child, she longs for a break where she can relax with her husband. All of their previous vacations were spent with their families, and they didn’t even take a honeymoon. That is why she persuaded him to accompany her on her vacation. However, he was not a fan of the concept.

There is a reason as to why he is mad.

However, we will get to that in due time.

It seems like Jax and OP had a good relationship.

And they still do though it is straining under the myriad of responsibilities.

That is why OP wanted them to go on vacation.

But this time she wanted it to be without her daughter.

Her husband, however, isn’t on board with it.

She desperately needs a break though.

And thus ended up on Reddit asking for a solution.

I assumed I’d be on the mother’s side, but things are more complicated than they appear at first glance. I truly sympathise with both of their situations. I understand that she needs a break, which is not surprising. However, it appears that the man does not spend much time with his daughter. And many first-time parents would be far too concerned to leave such a young child with anyone else, even if it was their own family, especially if they were travelling to another city or out of state. So, I believe they should talk about it more and take baby steps before taking a longer vacation.

The comments were quite enlightening, to say the least.

And there was good advice hidden there.

They just need to work together on this.

Communication is key in these kinds of matters.

What are your thoughts on how they should handle this situation? Do you believe the man should try putting himself in his wife’s shoes? Or do you think his point is also understandable?
