DP cold as ice

DP hasn't one empathetic bone in his body. I'm going through some mild pregnancy complications and last night he called me a lunatic for snapping at him and then laid beside me and did nothing whilst I cried myself to sleep. He knows what I'm worried about and his response was just 'don't worry' and that's it. He sees me worrying as being unreasonable and something I should be able to control. But I'm not like him. He literally couldn't care less about anything, nothing bothers him and he expects me to be the same. Any sign of emotion and he'll say I'm over reacting or being a psycho.
Am feeling so bloody alone in this pregnancy, no friends near by, my family are useless, and DP doesn't give a toss. I wanted to leave him but because of where I stand financially and the roll-out of UC leaving would mean loosing everything and making my kids homeless just before the baby is due, council won't re-house and I don't have £ for private not that any homes fit within the LHA anyway. I feel so stuck and could just do with a hug. He hasn't hugged me properly in months. :(

When did he suddenly stop being empathetic? Or has he never been that way?

He's not got an empathetic bone In his body but he at leat use to pretend and would comfort me if I needed it. He doesn't even do that now, and I can't recall the last time he did tbh

So you knew he was like this and thought he'd make a good father?

I'm sorry to say but it's not going to get any better. You say your family are useless but does that mean that wouldn't take you in if you left?

You need to make a plan to leave him
Speak to the council
