Dear Ann Landers,
ason and I have been married ten years. We have always wanted a family, but for some reason I couldn't get pregnant. After going to a fertility clinic for two years, I finally got the good news. Our baby is due next month. Everything was grand until last week. Jason told me when my time comes to go to the hospital, I should call a taxi and leave the house quietly. He said, "I don't want to know a thing." At first I thought he was kidding, but now I believe he is serious. Last night he said again, "Don't call me until you can say whether it's a boy or a girl." Frankly I am hurt. It seems to me a husband should want to be with his wife at such a time. Is something wrong with him? Should I insist that he come with me or should I go alone?-Mrs. Count Down

Dear Mrs.,
Of course there's something wrong with him. He's scared. Unless you can get your doctor to put him at ease so that he accompanies you willingly, let him stay home. Panicky husbands faint and get in the way and are more trouble than they are worth.

Our Reader to Reader Question of the Week:


Dear Readers,
, whatever they needed I provided. What really hurt my son and I the most was the obituary - we were not mentioned at all. Our friends (mine and hers) were appalled. I was embarrassed and upset for not just me, but for my son-who loved her also. I never been so upset. Her x-husband put his wife and kids and their grandchildren in the obituary, who my girlfriend barely knew. They live an hour away from us. I know its silly to be mad over a little section of the newspaper, but it still hurts. Will time let this devastating loss of her and this article ever go away? I am so angry at this whole situation, its not like we can go and rewrite an obituary notice.

Tell us what you think?
