Feeling really lonely right now!

[Asianchick6693]

DH has been fasting this month since it's Ramadan and understandably he's exhausted and goes to bed as soon as he can. This leaves me feeling very lonely and neglected! I've not had an easy pregnancy at all. I'm 11 weeks and have had every symptom you can think of and more. I've not had 1 good day.. just that some days are slightly better than the awful days I've had. I know it's my hormones probably playing up but since being pregnant, I feel this constant need of attention off my husband. He doesn't take it too seriously if I do bring it up as a joke. I understand his tiredness yet I can't help but get upset when I see him sleeping peacefully while I feel so rubbish with no one to share my pain with! I want all the affection and attention I can get off him right now! Sorry for the rant I think I needed it :( guess it's just me and the little one keeping each other company tonight.

I’m so sorry you’re feeling lonely. Could you watch all the box sets, films etc that you love and he doesn’t?
It’s tough, because I know if I was fasting I’d be exactly the same as your husband. Lockdown has also made it extra difficult because you can’t go out, and life seems to revolve around food!
Other suggestion is YouTube some pregnancy yoga?
Sorry I can’t be more helpful. Take care xx

@BeMorePacific honestly he's the kindest soul and so resilient. I've been so sick but while fasting he's been running around buying me whatever food I've wanted and been able to stomach and watching me eat just to make sure I'm okay the entire time. He's done this since the beginning. He's there for me all the time and I do feel ungrateful feeling this way. It's almost as if I cannot be rational anymore and how I feel is just how I feel which is frustrating. We went for a walk in the park today too but it seems my insomnia has returned. I've been watching my favourite shows all day.. I just want some affection and intimacy from him and this month has been really difficult for it all. Generally he's not in need of a lot of attention and affection like myself lol. I just feel needy and awful right now! Thank you for your advice though

When I feel rubbish I want attention too, so fully know where you’re coming from.
Hopefully you will be feeling much better soon, my symptoms really eased up by week 12. I hope you have the same xxx

@BeMorePacific thank you hun, me too. Really hope it does as lately it's taken away all the excitement I was feeling at the beginning xx
