I really struggled on deciding which area to post this on but I thought this one would be okay.
I'm 17 weeks pregnant and I'm really starting to worry about how things are with my partner and how lonely I feel.
He used to be so loving and caring and when we found out I was pregnant he was so excited and happy and still is to this day but it has seemed as soon as I became pregnant all the caring and lovingness has gone I can't even remember what life used to be like together anymore.
So far I have has a really difficult pregnancy and have been in and out of the hospital, almost every day I am in agony, and to be honest I would love him to just give me a cuddle or be more sympathetic instead he just looks at me and roles his eyes at me being in pain and getting upset about it, because of the pregnancy I have left where I lived to move in with him leaving all friends and family behind I have nothing round here and he will constantly try and use the fact he's let me live in his house against me.
It is all just starting to make me feel so down and lonely and I do not know what to do anymore, every day all I seem to be doing is crying, I feel like I am the only one who really cares about the baby and it's health and my health.
There is nothing for me to do other than sit around watching telly looking at social media cleaning or watching the clock every day, especially since I've had to give everything up for him and this baby and no I don't regret that but it's when he just sits there playing on his phone ignoring me and asks to go see his mates and complains when I say no or ide rather he didn't so we can do something together and I then get a mouthful, get called pathetic get told to grow up and pulls faces at me all the time it reallt makes me wander if ive made a big mistake.
He is not acting like the person I fell in love with, I just don't know what to do anymore can someone please give me some sort of advice on what to do or how to cope with this? Thankyou.

Hi I have a similar thing to this im 31 weeks with baby number 2 and both times my partner gets very distant. Ive been told its a jealousy thing dont no why or what of but its something men go through. Ive been with my man for almost 6 years we had a very loving relationship we used to cuddle all the time and led a very hhealthy sex life but since our 1 st child who is now 18months old thats sort of vanished we dont cuddle and very rarely have sex and being pregnant again has made it even worse. The eye doling and funny faces and grow up bits I get that aswell it upsets me to but deform sounds like hes scared theres a baby coming, my partner only yesterday told me that hes pooping his pants that we have a baby in the way even tho we have one already. The cots up now and its hitting us both. I try to just take his as I find him and if hes in a one of them moods I try keep busy so he cant upset me.
Theres not a lot u can do really if you love him and wantto be with him try talk it trough if not then you need to think of what you need to do for you and your baby you have to happy and so dose your baby.
Good luck xx
