I'm pregnant and struggling with my husband — feeling lost, please help

Hi everyone,
I'm currently 7 months pregnant with our first child, and I’m feeling incredibly overwhelmed. My husband and I have been having serious issues — he’s become very distant, hardly speaks to me anymore, and seems annoyed by everything I do. I’ve tried to talk to him calmly, but he either shuts down or turns things around on me.
I feel alone and unsupported, especially at a time when I need him the most. I don't have close family nearby, and my friends don’t really understand what I’m going through. I’m scared about doing this on my own and unsure how to move forward
Has anyone been through something similar during pregnancy? How did you cope or get through it? I just need some support and guidance right now.
Thank you so much in advance!.

I do have one friend I might be able to open up to properly, i just haven’t known how to say it all, I’ll try to reach out to her and maybe speak to my GP too.
You’re right... I think deep down I’ve been seeing it, just didn’t want to admit it.

I’ve started to wonder the same, and it’s scary to even think about. Sadly, I don’t have family nearby to stay with, which makes it harder. Just trying to stay strong for the baby.

Pregnancy is often when abuse first shows itself. Be very careful. Have you got family you can stay with if needs be?
