Hi ladies, I'm looking for advice or to see if anyone else is experiencing this. I'm 20 weeks and my husband went out of the country for 3 weeks to visit family. I asked him to call me everyday but he has not. He barely calls (totally has access to internet and WhatsApp), views my messages but doesn't reply and when he does call, he only talks about the family drama, does not even ask about me or the baby. My pregnancy hormones have me spiraling to the point that I am planning our divorce in my head. What would you ladies do in this situation? Side note: when he was home he was doing household chores, cooking dinner (because it made me nauseated) and made sure I didn't fall on the ice going to my car but he doesn't talk to the baby or really ask about how I'm feeling or how she is.
Re: Inattentive Husband
As far as your question, it’s hard for anyone to say what they would do in that situation. I’m sorry you’re in that headspace, I know I get a little nutty when I’m away from any husband too long and it seems like he’s ignoring me. While I’m not giving him an excuse to not call at least daily, maybe he does have family things going on that are taking his attention away? You didn’t say how long he’s been gone. It sounds like he was a good husband while he is present from what you’ve said, so I would give him the benefit of the doubt. It’s important you make your feelings heard whether he’s out of the country or not. Tell him how you feel, see what he says, and go from there.
my husband never asked about the baby with my first and hates talking on the phone buy is amazing with our first daughter. he doesn't ask about this pregnancy mainly because he doesn't really feel connected until the baby is here. share with him what would be helpful for you maybe a list of ideas that would make you feel more cared for?
