Please, I’m super confused and angry typing this. Anytime I tell my husband that I want to go to my elder sister’s house or my parent’s place, he’s always being so overprotective. Most of the time, he would refuse. Growing up, he had childhood trauma, trust issues, doesn’t allow people into his space, not even his siblings. Even to go to his family’s house, he won’t allow. And me, on the other hand, I came from a family that shows love by visitation, acts of service, showing up for each other, and all. I don’t know, maybe that’s what is still affecting him till now. He doesn’t want anyone around me, not even friends or siblings, and I’m not the extroverted type of someone that roams around.
I’m a stay-at-home mom of a three-month-old baby, just confined in the house. I told him I would be visiting my sister; he said why? I told him my sister misses us and wants to see me and my baby; he said must I roam around with his child. Please, what do you think I can do to change his mentality? I’m not used to all this. We’ve fought over it, tried to talk it over but he doesn’t have a cogent reason other than his insecurities. He’d always say I’m not giving him the chance to lead. Mind you, he travels for work purposes. I’m always alone at home with my baby. What should I do?
