To ask my husband not to drink around me while pregnant?

[dellacucina]

Or to only drink the 1 unit I am allowed? It makes me feel extremely isolated and resentful to be alone in this, on top of all of the other crap things about being pregnant. Plus I am only doing this because he wants children.

We have gone to loads of weddings lately and he drinks lots and lots of nice things while I watch.

At home, he will grab a beer and go to the other room, saying it is not in front of me.

At the same time, he has told me that the restrictions I have to deal with are not that bad and I should just deal.

Is this an unreasonable request? I have not asked him to stop altogether, just in my presence.

If you're still reading OP - I just want to wish you all the best and hope you get some support and help if you're feeling low.
People comparing their pregnancy and feelings to yours is just ridiculous. We all feel and cope differently.

On the face of it you are suffering so you want him to, too which is very unreasonable, but you now realise that it is symtomatic of all your other concerns about him stepping up to the plate and his lack of empathy. And your lack of control, changing body and lifestyle changes after the birth.

Good luck on working on those issues. They seem very complex.
