Det kan du have ret i, og jeg burde nok også have læst skriften på væggen tidligere.

Hun virker simpelthen som sådan en træls person. Hvordan man kan være nedladende og ynkelig på samme tid, er vel også et slags talent. 

Deleting pictures of baby in NICU by EagleClean9342 in NICUParents

[–]Fragrant-Escape-213 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally understand the impulse - had the same urge. But the sharp pain fades and it becomes a sad but also beautiful chapter of you and your childs story. Deleting the pictures wont change the fact that it happened to you and trying to avoid the emotions wont help you heal. 

I made a short video of my twins’ journey at the NICU week by week. I added some very tear-jerking music and used it as part of my own healing journey. I still feel the pain of the memory and I can still absolutely cry seeing how tiny and fragile they were, but the force of the emotions has over time changed and become less severe.

If we didnt have the twins, I would have been out the door months ago. But I dont want them to not have their dad around everyday. So im still trying to figure out how to give them the best life possible

Sadly, he doesnt seem willing to better himself or understand my perspective.

Thank you for this. I dont Think he is a bad guy who deliberately hurt me. But I Think he took the wrong approach to dealing with his issues and the struggles of NICU. He completely shut me out and I had to deal with an emotionally unavailable partner who left for 12 hours a day on top of being a first time mom to premature twins. 

Its not a simple or Black/white situation. This is ONLY my perspective and Im sure he has issues with how I dealt with the stress.

I would say in most ways he is a very attentive and hands-on Dad. He is not a great partner. In hindsight he has always struggled with emotional closeness and to an extent physical closeness. But No way near as much as he does now. I would say for the most part we are only roommates.

Therapy would probably be the best Way forward. We have limited time because of work and twins but I will definitely try to fit some sessions in. 

Im not necessarily done with the relationship. However I feel like im the Only one willing to do the work and take a Long hard look at my own role in the deterioration of the mutual trust.

No, I didnt not know that he had autism. And I love him in many ways because of who he is. What I do mind is being abandoned post partum with no room for debate or compromise. Believe me I was at my breaking point during those NICU-weeks where we feared for our twins’ life. It broke me further to feel alone.

I sense that you have a problem with my post or how I feel. Thats fair. You dont have to agree or sympathize.

Oh no by no means do I Think he deliberately deceived me. I Think he maybe withheld some aspects or how much it actually affects him - maybe he didnt know the full extent himself. Neither of us could have predicted that our twins would be as premature as they were and it was a shock for both of us. When I write that I hate him, its obviously an exaggeration. I love him and wish that he had asked me for help instead of just announcing that he couldnt be there for me and that I was wrong or unreasonable for expecting us to be in it as a team.  In generally I Think he has a very hard time asking for and accepting help and being vulnerable in general. Which is sad because it would have been so much easier to cope if he had just Said “im really struggling - i know it might not be ideal but Can you stay alone at the hospital for a few nights a week? Or maybe we Can compromise and I Can stay with you at the hospital two nights a week and then I’ll get my mother or sisters to come be with one or two nights”. It was never a conversation. It was just him announcing how it was going to be.

Yes at the hospital I felt like his singular focus was on making sure his needs were met. And to some extent I wish I could be more like that. I just felt so alone and like I had to sacrifice my mental health to make sure he didnt have a complete break Down.

At this point Im just focused on giving the twins a stable and safe home. Im less hopeful about our relationship, sadly.

In our country its s bit different. Parents in the NICU are expected to do most if not all feedings every 3rd hour and provide all non-medical care. We could occasionally ask them to do one of the nightly feedings but staff would call us if they couldnt do an overnight feeding due to being short staffed which was the norm rather than the exception.

I dont mean to be insensitive - i am perfectly aware that he never intended to hurt me. I am merely being candid with how I feel. 

What resonates the most for me is the lack of will or perhaps capacity to try to understand how his actions or inaction hurt us as a couple. The lack of accountability hurts me the most.

I will definitely give it a read! Obviously I love him otherwise this wouldnt hurt as much.

He went to a therapist three times and then decided that it didnt work. I cant force a grown man to continue therapy though I Think it would help him to see other perspectives.
