To not want my baby bump touched/kissed by my DP

[Ekpoma76]

Am generally not a touchy person, but my DP likes to touch and kiss the bump always. Am i being unreasonable telling DP not to do it all the time. Worst when strangers want to touch it as i almost want to slap them. It's still my body even with the beauty bump as i wouldn't walk up to someone at work and just want to touch their stomach, am i been unreasonable expecting the same view to be taken towards my lovely bump.

Do grown up men really get upset because their pregnant wife asks them to stop pawing their bump all the time?

Really?

And even if they do... tough shit really.

Everyone has a right not to be groped, even the pregnant.

Getting a woman up-the-duff doesn't give you bump-stroking rights.

Nor does it give you the right to shout messages up her fanjo.

"Do grown up men really get upset because their pregnant wife asks them to stop pawing their bump all the time?"

no, my DHs friends had him well prepared with tales of their OHs breaking up with them 5 times a day when pregnant, so was treating me with kid gloves anyway and not making any un-invited moves!

I quite like my my partner stroking and kissing my bump. I can understand it would be annoying if he's at it all the time, though.

I get to feel the baby all the time; it's just his way of feeling closer to our child.

Think I'd draw the line at shouting messages up my fanjo, though :o

When I was pregnant I didn't want my OH touching and stroking my bump the whole time either. It is still your body and if you are uncomfortable, tell him.

Hormones took care of that for me, OH was either brushing his teeth, showering etc (smelt of coffee, biscuits, the bus, and human), or trying to talk me down from my latest bout of rage/hysterical crying. No time left for anything else! Bumblefeck is not a nice pregnant person :o

When he tries to touch your bump take his hand in yours, press his hand to the bump with your hand/s on top of his and take control of the touching. This gives you the control and may help to lessen the feeling of dislike/panic/get the fuck off my bump!

I got to know mine before they were born. It seems a strange partnership to me if you don't want to be touched.
