Feeling lonely

[sasha2014]

I'm 37wks pregnant moved to spain 6 months ago my partner works in Nigeria doing 6 weeks away at a time
My mam lives around the corner and is a great support

There is no one where we live that is around the same age or in the same situation as me no children I spend most nights in on my own waiting for my partner to come home from work

I've basically done the full pregnancy on my own and when he does come back all he does is go out drinking and plan things I can't be apart of I'm feeling so lonely even when he's there I've tried talking about it but just ends in an argument everytime

He says that I'm the pregnant one he calls me miserable an says his time off is ruined with me going on

I'm struggling with heartburn tiredness and backache so can't do much
He doesn't support me in any other way apart from financially which he thinks that's enough

Hey hun - so sorry your feeling lonely and left alone. Are there any mother and baby groups you could go to? Maybe ones for expectant mothers? I'm know the abandoned feeling, I'm having a terrible time with my pregnancy and the father of my baby told me a few days ago he wants nothing to do with it because he hasn't even got enough time for the 2 kids he already has. (Some) men can be just utterly selfish and just do not think about how we are feeling going through a huge roller coaster. I'm so sorry that you feel like this. In here for a chat if you need one x

Hi sasha2014, like Lacey says, mum and baby groups are a god send when you feel like that. When I had DC1 I had moved up north with my then husband for his work, and my family and friends remained down south. I felt really isolated and alone throughout the end of my pregnancy and when DD was new. Once I started going to groups and meeting others I got a lot of confidence back, and am still in touch with a family I met 6 years on. I hope they have similar resources in Spain, perhaps your midwife or Dr could point you in the right direction?

Chin up hun! Some men can be so selfish, mine has ended things with me now that he has got me pregnant. I agree with the other ladies, see if there are any support groups around, amd you can always chat to us on here xx
