Husband solo trip while I’m 4mo postpartum
My husband (28) and I (27) have been married for 4 years, we are about to have our first baby at the end of September and about a month ago my husband brought up going on a guys trip in February. One of his friends 30th birthday is then and they want to go on a guys snowboarding trip, but the thing is they leave the day before my husbands actual birthday. At that point I would be 4/5 months postpartum, and while I feel okay and don’t want him to miss the opportunity now, I don’t know how I will feel when the time actually comes for him to leave. Ive never been postpartum before so I’m not sure how much or if I would struggle at that point with him gone. We have a really good marriage and we really care for each other, I still want him to be able to do things with his friends. But it is starting to make me sad that this is the first birthday he will spend without me and his son for the first time. Is it reasonable for him to go on this trip? You only live once haha and I don’t want him to miss an opportunity. And maybe it will be harder for him to do these things in the future when we have more kids, so maybe it is a good time. I’m not sure, I’m mentally struggling with this.
For some context too: I work nights as a nurse and I should be returning from maternity leave at that point, I think my mom would be able to stay with me and help take care of our son while he’s gone so that would help. And my husband said they should be able to stay somewhere for cheaper since they know someone up there so financially the trip wouldn’t break the bank.
I’d love any input if anyone has experience with this.
