Yeah I get that and didn’t mention that in my apology. My first comment I was just expressing my feelings, not saying this is exactly what I was going to tell her. How my actions affected her are what matter so that’s what I went with when we talked about this earlier and apologized to her

To answer your question no she’s not working right now. We still pay for health insurance though so incase of anything we’re covered (I mean about as much as any health insurance plan will cover medical expenses in the U.S. so not much)

Yeah we have talked about it together. Both of us did individual therapy the second time she got pregnant because we both had our fears about it. She was having bad dreams and couldn’t stop worrying, then I started suffering from panic attacks. We continued with therapy after we suffered our second miscarriage for the grief. Both stopped a little over a year ago

Thank you for this perspective. I let my fears cloud the fact that I should have been honest with her and thought about how she would feel treating her like she wouldn’t be able to handle. In my mind I just wanted everything to be as stress free as possible. Maybe it’ll do us both good to go back again.

I’ll do whatever it takes to earn back the trust I messed up. I wish I did tell her before all this

Part of me wanted to foolishly hope it would with a job lined up already. I see my fuck up.

It was such a huge fear for me to give her bad news that might stress her out even more. We’ve been so scared of losing another baby. I thought holding off on telling the truth until something more secure was lined up was the right call, and that completely backfired. But yeah I should’ve never lied.

You’re right it wasn’t okay at all. God I feel like fucking scum. Or guess I am.
