Should I pull away slightly?

A new thread. But I'm struggling to understand what I need to do. My partner is 9 weeks pregnant and hardly wants to see me. She's complaining that I'm saying 'I miss you' too much along with added bits that's making her feel guilty for not seeing me. I am trying to be supportive but I'm finding it a struggle not seeing her as much as I did before she got pregnant. We've recently brought a house together but she's moved back into her mums as she can't stand the smell as it's a new build house. But if I suggest coming to her mums to see her she'll say she's too tired. But she puts in the effort to go play netball and babysit some evenings... Do I pull back and give her space and stop asking her to see me and telling her I miss her all the time and just wait for her to make the decision on when to see each other?

How awful op, I think you should carry on being supportive and showing that you care and are there if you need her. Was everything ok between you both before this happened ? Is she Ill with the pregnancy ? It is a bit of a strange one but pregnancy can mess with a woman's hormones. Was the baby planned ? I only ask because if it wasn't perhaps she is trying to make a decision whether she wants to keep it or not. Hope you both manage to work it out

If she needs you that was meant to say

Aw, I do feel sorry for the guys sometimes.

Maybe ask her if something else is going on, if she says no then take her word for it. If you know that saying you miss her etc is annoying her then stop saying it for now. It could be that she feels guilty about moving to her mums, and when you say that it's making her feel like she's to blame (even though it isn't).

I went a bit funny towards my BF at one point, he couldnt do anything right in my opinion, even though he was doing everything. It lasted a week or two and I'm sure it was hormonal.
