*ETA: So, your Husband is not realizing, he has a child and is a Dad. Now. Life changes. He has to grow up. He has not, grown up nor become a "Man." AND does he realize... that he is a "role model" for his child? In the long run, a daughter will "see" how her Daddy is... and even if he has bad habits and attitudes toward his child and family, your daughter will see and observe that too. He is the "male" role model, for his daughter. And being a Dad and Spouse, he has to prioritize. That.
Men/Dads/Husbands... ALL have to, ALSO mind the home, help at home, raise their child, help them when they wake up, feed them, do the laundry, and be, a Dad. HE.... made his daughter too. It is not just a temporary thing to have. It is a lifetime, responsibility.
Since he is saying you hold him back... well what from? From becoming a responsible Dad and adult? Or holding him back from acting like an overgrown Teenager?
Only he, holds himself back... from BEING... a Dad. And Spouse. And, partner in all of this.
He has a daughter now.
And he is a part of a family.
He does not realize that.
And only he... lets bad influences and "fun".... influence him or not. Per what he is, as a Dad and Spouse.
Life, is not just partying.
He has not grown up.
Spouses/parents can go out. With friends who are single or married. But hopefully, the Spouse can think on their own and are also doing their responsibilities and not just acting like a tenant who just happens to have a wife and baby on the side at home.
Even married friends, can be jerks and party-ers.
It is... what you choose to be like or not. As a person.
And it is, who you choose... to be friends with or not.
-------------
How can your Husband be going out... when you are going to night school and the baby is home?
Who is watching your baby when you are not home and need time to study and keep up with school and your grades?
Who is doing all the housework and cooking and caring for baby, when you are not home and are at school at night?
You are a parent.
Your Husband is a parent.
And there is also the thing that, once an adult, and once a Spouse and once a parent.... the individual has to speak up, and do what is best... for their FAMILY.
But, if a person has not outgrown the partying/teenage stage... then they will crave partying and playing around. Despite their "adult" responsibilities and child rearing responsibilities.
And then, being a parent and spouse... will become, secondary. Not the priority.
And, your Husband is his own person. Hopefully.
Who can decide on his own, through maturity.... who to hang out with or not. Depending on their character and habits. And lifestyle.
A person, chooses.
It is a choice.
You either be a follower. Or not.
Stand up for yourself or not.
Don't you and your Husband... talk about things????
Just because, a person has a friend/sibling that is a jerk or always parties... that does not mean, your Spouse will be like that, or become like that. Because, again... an adult, can make up their own mind. And be just like them or not. Unless your Husband is so weak minded and weak in character... that he will just be a copy-cat and be like them, just for the sake of hanging out.
NO one FORCES you to party and cheat.
It is a choice.
The game changes, one a person has a child, and becomes a parent.
Hopefully your Husband realizes that.
We have all kinds of friends. Single or married.
Some, have a partying problem.
So hence, we do not hang with them. A lot. Or not anymore.
Why?
Because... they have DIFFERENT lifestyles than us or my Husband, and we just don't click with it. Been there done that, when we were single, etc.
My Husband is 'smart' enough to know that.
Me too.
Again- don't you and your Husband... talk about things and life????
And how to raise your baby?
Have you tried meeting other adult moms, who are in Mommy groups?
This is how many busy Moms, meet others.
