Our cat died. My husband had the cat for one year(the cat was 2). i have known the cat for 2 months because i only lived here for 2 months.
I love the cat, i cried when he died . My husband had/having a breakdown... something so innocent dying...etc. We are not religious but he doesnt
believe in anything after this, while i do, i think the kitty is still with us and so on. I have had to deal with my moms cancer
and a granparent dying all b4 i was 18, so i am more prepared to accept death then he is. But he cries all the time, he drove for 2 hours
with the neighbor ( it was her cat at first) to get some photos of the cat from someone that had them on a cell phone. He ordered
books about the afterlife etc etc etc. This is all fine, except for, he is always at work, or at law school, when he is home, its
all about the cat, look up some headstones etc etc etc. I am ok with him crying, dealing with this and so on, but i am not ok with the
fact that i am pregnant, first time around, and quite frankly i feel lonely. I am tired of being the stronger party. I want him to be the man.
He wont even have sex for 40d/40n . He is going to drive 2 hours to the pet cemetary tomorrow and wake up at 530am to do it.
I am frustrated. I think he doesnt even know how far along i am, i feel he is emotionally not connected to me, but more connected to the cat.
I can understand grieving a loss of a pet, but i am f. pregnant and i have a cold, and i cant take any cold meds. It has been 10 days
sence the cat died, i have been sick for the past 3 and this is really when i started getting annoyed, instead of staying home with me
making me some tea, or watching a movie with me, he drove two hours for cat photos.
Am i just being a pregnant b i t c h? i dont want to come off that way and i will adjust if it is the case, but i dont think i am being
unresonable. I have a lot of understanding and support for him, but how can he possibly understand what i am going through ... he cant.. and
he is not even being there for me.
