I was angry that Daniel smoked, knowing he's pregnant. For a few weeks afterwards, we both avoided the topic. I try to talk to him because I know he'll end up hurting him (mentally) because of his pregnancy and depression if I yell. However, if I don't talk about it I'll hurt myself mentally."Babe, why did you start smoking?" I ask. "I needed a way out, a way to de-stress." he bluntly replies. "Dani, you could've just talked to me" I say. He looks me in my eyes and breaks down.
"I-I'm sorry I'm s-such a d-disappointment. I-I let you d-down. I'm g-gonna ruin the b-baby's life a-and I'm gonna b-be a terrible f-father and they're gonna have b-birth d-defects and be b-bullied because I'm an i-idiot and I s-smoked. I didn't w-want to bother you with my p-problems" He cries into my shirt.
"Baby boy, you aren't a disappointment. I love you and you aren't going to ruin their life. You didn't let me down, if anything, I feel like I let you down because you didn't think you could come talk to me."
I rub his back until he slowly drifts to sleep.
I carry him bridal style to our bed and lay him down before kissing his forehead and then his bump that is defined, as he's now 18 weeks.

We love being forced into family dinners with closed minded assholes😔✌🏽
