@WashedOutGundamPilot >How can I show my husband I appreciate him
The problem is she is trying to figure out a way to lie to him and possibly herself here, as she does not truly appreciate her husband. She needed her husband, but did not truly want him.
I suspect he is lying when he says he is only "kinda" upset, because once you get the bomb dropped on you that you are not wanted but she only looked your way out of desperation, there is no coming back from that.
@WashedOutGundamPilot This is also why many men laugh in the face of the women who became single mothers and start dropping signals of interest towards them when many of those exact same women previously ignored them when they had options. It becomes extremely obvious that she views you as only a utility when it takes her having another man's child for her to even consider you as a sexual being.
"Why am a suddenly good enough now that you are a single mom?" That is the question many men ask.
