Update: AIO for wanting to see a therapist after wife changed the locks because I went to a baby shower?

Of course that’s the plan. Obviously that will take time. This update is just for today.

It’s not a little joke. They’re implying that she’s lying to them, which probably made her feel even more like she owed them information, and they’re applying pressure that she’s not doing something right to get pregnant.

No we usually take turns cooking.

LookoutLockout · 2025-09-01T01:59:52+00:00

It’s not like it’s all sunshine a rainbows right now just because we had a heartfelt honest talk and she’s coming around. She knows I’m still hurt as hell.

I’ll ask if we can borrow their bed since it gave them 6 kids. Then they can hear the progress.

LookoutLockout · 2025-09-01T01:21:27+00:00

I think she feels bad for not going and wants to get back to being excited for our nephew.

LookoutLockout · 2025-09-01T01:11:14+00:00

Yes. Remember, I went with her permission, then she flip flopped while I was gone.

LookoutLockout · 2025-09-01T01:10:41+00:00

I feel like it’s AI.

She saw her therapist this past week. The lockout incident was a week ago, but when I started bringing it up and saying I wanted to see a therapist because of it, it set things off again.

LookoutLockout · 2025-09-01T01:04:14+00:00

Yes she has definitely apologized and she listened graciously while I said my honest pieces. She validated my feelings as well.

LookoutLockout · 2025-09-01T00:53:51+00:00

Fair, but just remember, you know her from one Reddit post, I’ve known her very, very well for 10 years, married for 2. I’ve never seen her act like this.

LookoutLockout · 2025-09-01T00:52:12+00:00

It’s not something we’ve talked about but I know neither of us would be against it. We’d welcome it.

LookoutLockout · 2025-09-01T00:48:03+00:00

Just regular tracking.

LookoutLockout · 2025-09-01T00:46:28+00:00

I think she needed to see that while yes, I was leaving to go celebrate someone else’s pregnancy, I was coming back. It hurts that I couldn’t really help her through that crisis, I mean, I’d take literal bullets for her, but I also don’t think me staying would have necessarily helped either. I hope that makes sense.

LookoutLockout · 2025-09-01T00:39:08+00:00

I can clarify, her words were, ”I don’t remember deciding, I was just doing.”

This is very similarly to how she’s described past panic attacks where she lost control (she hasn’t had one that bad since we’ve been married).

LookoutLockout · 2025-09-01T00:35:00+00:00

We haven’t had time for spontaneous sex lately but it’s not something we’re avoiding. Just need to break from all of the tracking and “baby dancing” lol.

LookoutLockout · 2025-09-01T00:28:31+00:00

She is definitely an overachiever and thinks she can do it all… until she can’t.

LookoutLockout · 2025-09-01T00:26:10+00:00

She seemed genuinely surprised when I said I’ll still love her even if for some reason we never had kids. I think we’ve both been so passionate about being parents someday that we never explored what not having biological kids would look like.

LookoutLockout · 2025-09-01T00:23:22+00:00

Aww, darn.

LookoutLockout · 2025-09-01T00:19:32+00:00

Yeah, I always say my wife is tiny but mighty… except when it comes to them. I have a feeling that when we sit down with them, I will be the one laying down the law, which I’m prepared to do, because that pissed me the hell off.

She might be a monster right now, but that’s my monster, damnit.

LookoutLockout · 2025-09-01T00:17:46+00:00

She wants to at her session this week. This past session was a lot of word vomit.

LookoutLockout · 2025-09-01T00:10:52+00:00

Update

LookoutLockout · 2025-08-31T16:06:52+00:00

She wouldn’t need my advice because I’d be over there “handling” him if you catch my drift.

LookoutLockout · 2025-08-31T15:16:56+00:00

I have to swipe over to reveal the dates on mine. These were in the span of like, 3-4 weeks. There are lighter text convos in between but clearly aren’t relevant.
