I Grew Suspicious of My Husband After Giving Birth

When Elodie’s husband, Owen, grew distant after their son Leo’s birth, she feared the worst. Exhaustion from new parenthood strained their once-solid partnership. Then Owen requested an hour alone each night, leaving Elodie confused and uneasy.

One night, checking the baby monitor, she discovered him secretly learning to knit—making her a blanket after she’d admired one for its comfort. Relief and love replaced her doubts. Owen later revealed the unfinished gift, admitting he’d struggled to keep it a surprise.

Together, they finished it, bridging her past comforts with his devotion. Months later, on Leo’s six-month milestone, Owen surprised her with the completed blanket and a celebration of her strength as a mom.
