Читать книгу Dad's Guide to Pregnancy For Dummies - Sharon Perkins - Страница 96

It’s always a little strained when you’re getting to know someone new. It’s especially awkward when that person is carrying your child. This is something you really have to feel your way through; a legal document only covers so much. As the pregnancy goes on, you may feel more comfortable with each other and find that talking about constipation, swollen feet, and sex is more natural than you thought it would be. Or not.

It’s important to let your carrier take the lead on this, though. If she’s not comfortable letting you in on all the details of her personal life, you’ll have to accept that. If she wants to overshare and you’re really not that into knowing all the details of what she did last night, you may have to grin and bear it in order to maintain a good relationship. Don’t expect to be best friends right out of the gate. And don’t push for too much when you’re still basically strangers. Hopefully, over the next nine months, you’ll work out a comfortable balance between friendship and business relationship.
