    I'm pregnant with my first child and my husband is about to become an over the road truck driver. I made the suggestion to move back to my hometown since he wont be home much that way my mom can help me out with the baby and I can spend some time with my family. The next thing i know we're in this long drawn out arguement about the situation! Where did that come from?! And his only reasoning was, no, he doesn't want to live there. My husband and my family seem to get along, we live in apartment so we don't have to worry about selling a home, and I already worked things out if we were to leave. So, what is the problem? Personally, I think he's selfish and controlling. When I visit home or anywhere that's not within eyeshot he calls me back to back until i answer or sends text messages trying to start arguments. The only family i have here is a much older cousin that lives about 45 minutes away. He acts like it bothers him when I'm around anyone besides him. What do you think? Is the man crazy or what?

    If he's not going to be home much, I don't see why there would be a problem. Maybe his pride will be hurt if someone else is helping you.

    I agree with you...and I don't understand his point of view...he doesn't want the best for his family, you and the baby??? He is selfish for sure! Do everything that you can to go where you'll have the best conditions for your family:)

    I'm going to do what's best for me and the baby. he just has to accept it. unfortunately for him the world doesn't revolve on his command.

    he is not crazy, atleast doesn't sound like it.
    You have give priorities. baby is first, I know.. but in general Family is first and, there are 3 of you so, maybe its hard to maintain, maybe the there is a frustrations going on with your husband, try to figure it out... i am sure it will be soon over.


    Good luck
