is it jealousy?

[celticprincess]

Hi,
iv been married to my husband for 15 months now... weve been together for 19months and have a gorgeous baby daughter of 6 months.... My problem is lately my husband has become quite jealous.. He refuses to let me be seen by male doctors and caused a sensation when i was in labour because I had a male midwife which did not bother me...
He never minded about me revealing cleavage or wearing mini skirts but of course he doesnt like it now, nor am I allowed to even mention having a girls night out...
If i metion a males name.. (friend or family member), he jumps out of bed and storms off for 10 minutes... and then comes back to the room in a sullen mood which is hard to snap him out of

he is a loving attentive husband and we spend all our time together with our daughter.. so their is just no way i could have an affair even if I wanted too... (which I dont)

My mother thinks his jealousy stems from the fact im no longer pregnant and have regained my post pregnancy figure.....

im confused.. please help as i dont want to keep treading on egg shells.

thankyou

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it sounds to me as if you spend TOO much time together, this isn't healthy for you or him, although you are married you are still individuals and as such are entitled to individual time. He may very well be suffering pangs because you recovered your pre- pregnancy figure quite quickly, but men can react quite strangely to their wives having babies, some become jealous of the child, some lose interest in the wife as a woman, seeing her only as a mother, some react the way your husband has, and become over protective , in a way that's almost animal in it's intensity. I'm not suggesting you go out of your way to dress provocatively in order to attract other men !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But why shouldn't you be you , just because you are now also a mum ?
