the other day my husband revealed he wasnt excited about our second child when i was pregnant and when i look back when he was born too. im pregnant with our third child and although i know he is like this i just fel so disappointed. its a lonely affair when you go through pregnancy alone. i mean he is there as we are husband and wife but my pregnancy isnt on his radar. i dont even mention stuff to him now. i often how life would have been if we hadnt married because this is a major life event for me. anyone experienced anything similiar ?

What was he like once the baby was here?
My DH doesn't seem very excited either. He seems concerned sometimes and makes some positive comments but certainly not excited. Even when I came home excited with a pram and lots of other stuff, he briefly looked up from his computer game to acknowledge it and ask where I was putting it.

I just thought that's how some men are about the actual pregnancy. He is sympathetic when I'm not well and has accepted that he's got to do the heavy work and he's interested in the scans (he studied biology) but that's about it.

My other half doesn't seem to be excited to have another baby. We are supposed to be trying at the moment but we are not even having sex so Iam using ovulation kits so we have sex when needed . Strange thing is when I ask if he wants us to have another one he says yes

maybe thats it then jenny ... just so disappointing as he has never once asked if we need anything for the baby(s) ive done everything. hes ok once baby is here but not exactly hands on, no. when i say excited i could even say interested. he cares about my welfare but ... marriage feels so overrated!!
