Hi I'm 23 weeks along now and feeling very alone in this pregnancy. My partner and I have been together 3.5 years. We tried for 2.5 years to conceive. Since being pregnant we've become very distant. There's no physical intimacy or any intimacy between us. I'm very hormonal on this pregnancy i will admit and get upset quite easily. My OH doesn't help around the house and does pretty much naff all. He works full time and like to chill out playing computer games and smoking a little pot.
He thinks I've become unbearable to be with and that I don't show him any love. I suffer with depression that he doesn't want to hear about and I get that thrown in my face now and then. He's had no Interest in this pregnancy. And continuous to be horrible and nasty.

Just need to rant Sad

Sounds like you made a bad decision

There's no rest for parents he will need to be helping you with the baby as well as pulling his weight around the house

He needs to start joe while you are tired

As I'm sure you are aware, he's not going to suddenly 'get it' and improve or show an interest. You need to get all thoughts of YOUR hormonal behaviour or YOU neglecting him out of your head. You're growing a human fgs, that's pretty much all consuming. I think you need to have the serious 'pull your socks up' chat very soon.

Thanks for reply
I just feel like he's not understanding any of it. Like at all. I'm sick of explaining how I feel and how I'm struggling with all the changed to my body my mind evetyrhing. It's like he said this morning "just because you're pregnant doesn't mean we all need bow down" or the world doesn't revolve around you"

Hes made damn sure I don't feel any different!
Messed up part is he's going to be hands on with baby. Just a shame he doesn't know how to treat his momSad

"the world doesn't revolve around you" His world should revolve around his partner and developing child.
