Dear Mike Cares, what advice would you give this broke back baby maker?

DEAR MIKE CARES: My husband and I have been married for three years. Most of that time, it has been perfect. Six months ago, we received some amazing news: We are expecting a child! This was a miracle. We had been struggling to conceive, and I had almost given up hope that it would ever happen. My problem is, when my husband and I started dating, my husband and my brother became fast friends. At first, I was thrilled that the man I loved got along so great with my family. But ever since the news of our pregnancy, they have become almost inseparable. They text constantly, and it seems almost every weekend they are taking a hunting trip or going to the casinos. My husband says he's just trying to have some fun before the baby comes along. Am I wrong to feel he should be spending more time with me, the pregnant mother of his future child? He's a great provider and a loving husband when he is present, but I can't help but feel neglected. One evening, we were sitting on the couch watching TV and I happened to get a glimpse of his phone. I noticed he was texting my brother (as usual), but then I saw the text from my brother: "Goodnight babe," with a heart emoji! I didn't mean to snoop, but I was shocked and couldn't unsee this. I immediately asked what was going on, and he very defensively told me it was an inside joke and that I shouldn't be reading his texts over his shoulder. I feel crazy for even thinking what I'm thinking, but could something be going on between my brother and my husband? I don't even know how to begin to confront this issue, and I'm afraid if I ask my husband point-blank, he will lie to my face. I feel lost and betrayed. Please help. -- CRESTFALLEN IN COLORADO

DEAR CRESTFALLEN IN COLORADO: While news of your pregnancy brings great joy to you, your mother, family members and all your dopey girlfriends, to a husband it usually means freedom and the chance to do all sorts of man-shit without you. If you consider this "neglect" then you are the problem, not him.  The only men who want to spend more time with their wives are either girly man soy boys, or just regular men placating their wives in hope that they stop talking.  As to you being lost and betrayed, well until you find your brother deep inside your husband I would slow your roll.  But, in the off chance that their texting has elevated to semen swapping, you and your husband should schedule a movie night, might I suggest Broke Back Mountain? If he gets an erection during the film or plans a camping trip, your baby might have to get used to one mom and two dads. Good Luck and Keep in Touch!
