I didn't know what to say.
- But this is unusual for a man,” I said. - Pregnancy is a physical change that occurs in a woman’s body. A man cannot feel it the same way as a woman.
- But he’s a father,” Dina objected.
- Of course, he is a father, but this does not mean that he should feel the same way as you. Every person expresses their emotions differently, and that's okay. Perhaps your husband simply does not know how to express his feelings, he is afraid or embarrassed. But this does not mean that he is not happy about the birth of the child.
- “I would like him to show more attention,” said Dina. “I want him to feel like a father, like I feel like a mother.”
- “You can try talking to him about it,” I advised. - Tell me how you feel, what you expect from him. And try to understand how he feels. It may take time for you to establish communication, but it will be worth it.
- Yes, you’re right,” Dina agreed. - I'll try to talk to him and find out what he thinks.
- And remember that every person goes through their own journey of parenthood,” I added. - Some men show more emotions, some less, but this does not mean that they do not love their children. The main thing is that you support each other and find a common language.
For a man, his wife’s pregnancy is not just a test, it is a new stage in the life of the family. And each family member goes through it differently. The main thing is that parents find a common language, support each other and do everything so that the child grows up in love and care.
