Feeling really let down...

Why wouldn’t he be?
I don’t understand your point.

Wow. I am so sorry, that is really shit. I don’t know if I’d be able to stay in a relationship like this. I doubt it’s going to get better when your baby arrives. Sending massive hugs. Go and put your feet up and order yourself something you’d never usually get for yourself. Fuck him!

It's not the present itself, is it, it's that he's demonstrating how little he cares for op's feelings.

You’re not being unreasonable, your partner is a shitebag. Does he disregard your feelings on other days of the year too?

I used to have a partner that never got me Christmas or birthday gifts. Sometimes he got me stuff the week after but only once something on the actual day to open. Always an excuse: “it didn’t arrive”, “I’ve been so busy at work” blah blah blah. I wouldn’t have needed much, a book or a bag of nice coffee or anything at all. But no, he didn’t care
and it always hurt. In fact more than that it was quite humiliating, especially when friends would ask “what did X give you?”

Now I’m single I buy myself wonderful gifts and shower myself in the love I deserve!

Merry Christmas OP. Don’t take his lack of care personally, it’s a him problem and not a you problem!! Xxxx

Wtaf?!?! This would have been the point I walked out on him.

That's fucking awful. Your poor DS.
What a poor excuse of a man.
Well done for making him your ex.

I've had years of that in the past from my DP; birthdays, mothers day, Xmases (how can you get daffodils wrong for mother's day (I got tulips)) but I can not complain today although things haven't been good between us recently so I think that's why I got what I asked for.
Again, not complaining. And I was late ordering his main present but I've shown him what's coming and he's more than happy with it.
I don't feel so bad for not having it today, he had a little something to open this morning.

What a horrible man! He should be spoiling you. He could have got you some comfy pjs, a gift card to buy a sexy outfit to make you feel good once you’ve had the baby, and some perfume so you can feel good now.

Do not give him the presents you’ve bought him. Return them or sell them on Vinted and treat yourself to something nice.

Go to your mum’s and forget about this prick. He’s not your partner, your team mate, or your husband. Tell him he needs to think about whether he’s up to the job and how he can get his shit together. Honestly, if you go home Boxing Day evening and he hasn’t got you a bloody big bunch of flowers and some kind of gift, I’d be binning him off. What an arsehole!

I hope you haven't given him any gifts @SpookyTeacup. If he complains you could call him a little baby. I'm not usually one to recommend tit-for-tat, but he is behaving horribly and this needs to be made clear to him. I'm sorry your Christmas Day has been like this.

Love this

He sounds awful tbh .

It’s never about the gifts, but the lack of thought and care. Order yourself something comfy xxx

That's ok then if men are like that for Christmas 🙄 What does "guidance" mean = do it for him?! Back in the real world he's out of order, especially this Christmas

@SpookyTeacup Happy Christmas! Congratulations on your pregnancy -l also had a miracle pregnancy after IVF.

Ah ffs don’t be a twat

If he's acting like this because you're pregnant that's really nasty, he let you go through 10 yrs of discomfort and disappointment only to go into a sulk because the baby means you don't want sexy underwear. Go to your Mums and stay there Op, what he does next will tell you all you need to know

This is awful. I would seriously consider leaving him. Sometimes presents are delayed so you get something else as well. It's not funny, it's contempt.

Part of my ending things with my ex was when he let me and his longed for newborn son come down on christmas morning to nothing because he hadn't had time. The whole year of time!

Actions. That's what counts and he had the nerve to laugh ...

he sounds like a sack of shit, OP

I'm sorry OP. You made it very clear what you'd like and he couldn't do that one simple thing for his pregnant wife. What an arsehole.

What a load of crap.

OP please ignore posts like this from the "I don't expect anything" holier-than-thou brigade. You have every right to feel upset with your DH'S lack of effort and care. It's completely normal to expect a gift from your partner on Christmas Day, and I don't blame you one bit for feeling let down. I would too in your shoes!

Please make sure you let him know just how unacceptable this is. You deserve much better.

Huge sympathy OP, I for one will be thinking of you today and hoping it gets better. You've been with this man for a long while, there's a reason he's acting badly now and it must be to do with you being pregnant.

Not unheard of I'm afraid. Much love to you.x

He sounds nasty. Was hoping his laughing when you previously mentioned shops being open still was because he had actually got you something.
I think you should gift yourself a divorce for Christmas. If he acts like this now what is he going to be like with a baby around. You don't deserve this.

Oh I’m so sorry to read your post this morning OP.
Just read it to my DH and he said your H is a prick.
I really hope someone spoils you this Christmas.
Wishing you all the best with the rest of your pregnancy, a true gift coming to you in approx 10 weeks time 🥰

Yes this. Id be doing some Irish dancing on his games console.

Well bully for you!

Men show their true selves once a woman is pregnant. Get out op asap and raise your baby in a safe and loving environment
