IIRC that’s how my parents quit ages ago. I don’t recall if they stopped when my mom got pregnant or when they started trying to get pregnant. Either way, my dad also quit out of solidarity/responsibility at the same time, both cold turkey. Probably having someone else there who can empathize and keep you accountable is a good way to do it. Maybe find a friend who wants to quit too and do it together?
Congratulations (assuming you both wanted it) and godspeed!
I think the pregnancy (if wanted) thing ‘helps’ in that you’ll have strong feelings to protect the developing fetus. Can’t guarantee it for all though and it’s not a solution, just a possible explanation. Hormones can be wack, yo.
Thank you! Yes, we’re both very happy. It wasn’t planned but we’re very excited nevertheless.
Yeah I agree. She’s been a different person since being pregnant but in a good way. She’s become very maternal, especially towards our cats. It’s very attractive. Plus she’s obviously very defensive about her belly, especially now that we’re nearing the end.
I’m not sure I quite understand your question, but if you’re asking about how she’s defensive over her belly, she’s a hospital nurse and has had to physically restrain patients who were going for her belly. She mostly works with dementia patients and they often times can get aggressive. She’s been punched in the face and breasts and other areas in order to avoid hurting her belly too. Sometimes you don’t have time to restrain someone and have to move to avoid getting hit, and sometimes that hit lands, just somewhere other than where they were aiming.
My wife was in the same boat as you, but then she found out she was pregnant and that worked for her. Hopefully she stays off it when the baby’s born.
Looks like you need to get pregnant.
