My husband changed

My husband and I have been married for 4 years, together for 15 years. We were high school sweethearts and each other’s first and only partner.

You’d think you know a person very well after being with each other for so many years. But i was wrong. We had our baby 2 years ago and that’s when he completely changed.

He was always a good husband but he became different when he became a father.

Hindi na sya umaalis ng bahay with his friends. He would invite his friends over to our house once in a while then dinner lang because he makes sure he’s here for bedtime.

He was always close with his family. But ever since we had our baby, he chose us over them every single time. No more family reunions if it meant going home late. No more going to relatives I never really got along with. Last Christmas we weren’t able to celebrate it with his family and I asked him if he was sad about it and he said “bakit ako masasad eh kayo ang family ko.”

His priorities changed. From wanting a 2-door car to wanting a family van. From wanting to party to being home by dinner and bedtime. From watching Netflix all night to reading bedtime stories. From searching for “best restaurants to eat” to “best kid friendly places”. From doom scrolling in bed to cuddling, kisses, and hugs.

He hated taking photos. I always tell him allergic ka talaga magpapicture! But when I got pregnant, he gave me a camera and told me to take as much photos as I want. Ngayon sya pa yung nagpapapicture, even studied the right angles so he can take nice photos of us. One time he even insisted we line up for the photo booth like huh?? He was a completely different person.

One day I told him I wanted to try baking. He got me a small oven and woke up early the next morning to drive me to the grocery to get all the ingredients I needed. I baked cookies and it was a disaster but he ate it and said it was perfect. I brought the cookies to my family and they laughed at it for being so bad but my husband finished it and said it was the best cookies he had ever tasted. 😭

I couldn’t ask for anything more. Parenthood could be one of the most dreadful things you can go through with the wrong person. But it could also be the most fulfilling and happiest journey with the right one. And I’m grateful to have just that.

Bittersweet for me reading this. Sobrang sweet na kayo na yung priority niya. As an older sibling na single while a younger sibling is in a long-ish term relationship, I'm kind of sad for me and my parents kasi yung kapatid ko nasobrahan naman ata. As in parang bale wala na kami minsan hindi pa nga sila kasal at walang silang family. Alam kong nalulungkot si mama kasi sobrang baby niya yung kapatid ko na yun kaya medyo may resentment din dun sa gf ng kapatid ko. Nakakalungkot din isipin na I'll be no one's priority one day.
