Need a friend

[Leyls]

Hi all, I'm currently 35 weeks pregnant and things are bad. My husband is a total workaholic, and whilst usuallyits not too much of an issue (because it the past I too had a demanding job and not much need for support to be honest) what is happening now is that I feel very vulnerable and afraid and he is just totally not there for me.
I wondered if there is anyone out there who was up for a friendship - maybe via msn or something like - just for chatting really, to feel less alone.
I'm working from home now until my due date - I sit at a computer on my own all day and when my husband comes home there is rarely any conversation which is not about his work and its starting to make me feel like I am going crazy - just really need to have a new conversation.
Any takers?

I'd be happy to chat to you Leyls! I also really think you need to get the issue with your DH sorted before the baby comes.

You will need support.

It's not surprising you feel the way you do! In my experience men are much more supportive when the baby arrives! They have absolutely no idea how you are feeling, to them you just look a bit fatter! Try and have a chat with him without crying too much so he can take what you say on board. It's a very emotional time for you ESP with first baby. You are bound to feel isolated. In 5 weeks time you'll be so busy life will be very different.
