My spouse feels isolated at home because I'm teaching our child another language. Is it worth it?

TLDR: I speak a language to our child that my SO doesn't speak. My SO feels isolated. Now I'm not sure if it's worth it to teach the language to our child.When I was younger I lived abroad in Albania and learned to speak the language. I thought there was intrinsic worth in teaching our child this language and told my SO I wanted to teach our child this language. At the time everything seemed good. In order to teach our child (~1yr old) I started to only speak to them in Albanian.Fast forward to one month later. My SO has communicated to me that they are feeling isolated/excluded at home when I am speaking Albanian to our child. I thought there was a chance they might have feelings of exclusion later on once our child was older and could fluently speak Albanian, but I figured we could make arrangements to figure out how navigate when and how often we would keep up speaking Albanian if that was an issue down the road once the child was older and already fluent. I am empathetic to the feelings of my SO, but don't really know a different way to teach my child this language. We both work and I commute significantly farther so I don't have time alone with our child where just the two of us can practice Albanian while my spouse is at work. I also worry about whether our child will be able to learn very effectively if I (the only point of exposure for Albanian in their life) reduce my efforts to only speaking a little bit of the language here and there.The discussion has now moved on to whether there is any benefit to our child in learning Albanian. I'm not Albanian, but after living there for a few years I can't help but feel that this language is now a piece of who I am and a part of my life experience. Initially I was very excited about giving our child the gift of another language and although I hadn't planned on it at first I now feel like I am sharing another piece of myself with our child.After talking to my spouse today I am starting to question whether the costs of teaching this language outweigh the benefit of our child learning that language. I understand that Albanian is a somewhat obscure language that lacks the obvious advantages of something more mainstream like Mandarin or Spanish, but previously I had just assumed that speaking another language had enough intrinsic value to justify teaching it even if the language is not very widely spoken. I feel very torn about this and don't want it to become a wedge between my spouse and myself.I guess my first question is should I continue to teach our child Albanian? The second question is if I do continue to teach our child Albanian then how can I help to relieve my spouse's feelings of isolation/exclusion and prevent this from hurting our relationship as a couple and a family? via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2ymkkRP
