Partner rejecting me pregnant

Hey I'll keep it short.
I'm 10 weeks pregnant. Our first baby together.
Baby was 100% planned and wished for.

Since pregnant he's been horrible to me. We're now at the stage of he tells me to get off when I go in for a kiss & cuddle. Sex is never initiated we don't do that anymore!

I told him today how I feel... that I'm missing intimacy, cuddles, kisses, and he said "ahh blame me" and he said a baby is not what we needed its ruined us.

I'm so sad :(

How long have you been together? Are there any other issues in the relationship? Is it just a panicking about being a father or are there other signs? Often abuse starts the first time a woman is pregnant

Together just over 2 years. He's just been generally horrible. Tells me I'm too emotional. Name calling horrible things if I do something wrong. There's hardly any love from him. He's said "tell me what you need for that baby I'll order it" that's the only support I've had and even that feels cold. I sit & cry all day everyday I'm so lonely xx

I’m so sorry you are going through this, has his feelings toward you ever changed like this before for any period of time?

If you feel it is safe to do, I would recommend you reminding him that you both worked together to have this baby and now he making it so you are having to go it alone. Money and material things are not a replacement for emotional and physical support, and it is his responsibility to provide equally to this as you do.

He needs to work on his feelings towards this pregnancy to support you and his child - to an extent it can be natural for sudden fears to kick in when you conceive. It’s a lot of responsibility and change! But his concerns are his and they are his responsibility to work through, not take out on you. Name calling and berating is unacceptable behaviour and is not to be tolerated, especially when you are giving so much of yourself to the baby.

I hope all turns out okay for you, be easy on yourself. His feelings are not your fault or responsibility.

What was he like before you got pregnant? Was it planned?
