I’m fed up!
I have a 7month the week I had him my partner was lucky enough to get a new property. For the past 7months I feel like I have literally done everything the sleepless nights, the feeding, the crying the first month or two I can understand the painting and decorating But it’s still not finished. I feel like he’s taking the p with it all because he’s making time for his friends and things he wants to do. He had been round and stayed a few nights but I live with my family so it’s difficult because he had major meltdowns with him and doesn’t really know him because he’s not really around. He lives in the middle of nowhere I get more support where I am. I am pregnant again and I’m exhausted I just don’t feel like he is prioritising us or the situation. It’s just venting but I do suffer with depression and don’t want it to become a major issue. I am trying to cope with it all but he’s just not offering not thinking about the stress of it all.

Yes,he is taking the piss.
What does he say when you explain to him how you feel and what you need from him?

Having a baby is tough but being pregnant again! That is really hard -
and it will be tough having two so close in age.
Your partner needs to realise just how much support you are going to need.

The typical "I understand what your going through" he says things he thinks I want to hear whilst I say this to him he says I will be better... or your starting again...I just feel there's no respect for what I do because it's not a money paying job.
