I feel sad

I’m six months pregnant. Been in the hospital all yesterday evening and this morning - poked prodded internally and externally.

Come home from fetching my son around 4pm and said I’m hungry. Partner says I’ve had enough already - I bought a crossiant from the hospital shop. He had a McDonald’s. He already comments on how much weight I’ve put on - I think I’ve lost weight!

He’s been sitting there for four hours, glued to his phone. Other than making my child some tea he knew he wouldn’t eat so he could eat the left over food - no offer to make me some food - trying to save money so don’t want the oven on again! I know I have legs, but I’ve already washed up two days worth of washing up (as in the hospital) dried up, showered and fed my child, burnt myself on the hot stove cleaning the sides.
Now he’s eaten the eggs I was saving for breakfast

I’m too tired to go and make myself some food yet I’m so hungry. No asking about my hand, I feel so unwanted and worthless. Do I even matter?

I don’t know what the point of me typing this is. I just feel sad. Very sad.

I'm so sorry you're feeling like this - and I'm not surprised. Show your "D"P your OP and tell him from me, he's a lazy, thoughtless, selfish POS. (Then flush his phone down the loo! 😡 )

Honey, you're right to feel sad. Could you have a convo with him about how you feel? You shouldn't have to tolerate that.

Dear God OP.
What a nasty man he is.

Selfish and uncaring doesn't even begin to describe his behaviour.

Do you have any family support OP, or friends you can stay with for a few days?
Because honestly yoh need to be with people who care about you and where you can think about your future.

How’s your relationship, generally?

Clearly your baby's father is a selfish dick but don't be a martyr. Eat.

So sorry OP, he is a vile, selfish excuse of a man and he is treating you abysmally. Do not speak to him, it's best to ignore him for tonight. You must eat so either order yourself a takeaway or get up and make something simple, even if it's just beans on toast or a couple of sandwiches. Then take yourself to bed and leave him to his own devices.
If you and your son can go and stay with your parents or anyone else close to you for a few days that would give you a break plus time to decide what you want to do going forward. You deserve so much better than this awful man.

Your partner is selfish and lazy, who doesn't seem to care about you very much. Sadly, if he's like this now, before the baby is born, it doesn't bode well for once the baby is here. An expectant Dad, who truly loves his partner, would be making sure he'd made dinner, had been keeping the house clean/tidy/chores up together, had fed/sorted your child out for the evening and would be concerned about you and his his unborn child. Your partner hasn't shown a smidge of concern at all, in fact it's almost you being unwell in hospital is an inconvenience. You need a serious talk with your partner regarding his attitude and your expectations for now and once the baby is born. Unfortunately, I rather think his idea of being a Dad, isn't going to be the same as yours. Please don't put up with a man-child, if he's not prepared to step up and be the man he should be, then don't waste your years by staying in the relationship.
