Hi everyone,
This is my first pregnancy. My partner is super supportive and loving and one of the reasons we got into a relationship was because both of our values align so much. He’s such a family person, meant to be a dad for sure. And I have always wanted that family too. Of course there are so many things that made us fall in love, but this in particular was never in doubt.
now that I am finally pregnant, I don’t know if it’s my hormones or emotions but I am suddenly feeling so vulnerable and worried that he will feel trapped with me or stay with me out of duty. There is zero reason for me to think this because he dotes over me, and is so sweet. But it’s almost like the more he does for me the more I feel guilty and like he will hate me for this. I feel like such a burden. And then if he goes anywhere I get all worried and feel clingy like I want to be near him all the time (not like me at all!)
I have this general fear I didn’t expect, like of being abandoned and how vulnerable I am. He loves me, his family love me, they are all supportive but I still feel this way.
Is this normal? 😠I feel so needy. I have spoken about this with my partner and he reassures me, I just feel so ‘insecure’
