Ahhh.... iam so frustrated I could cry. I feel so alone. My boyfriend is not excited about the pregnancy. In fact so not excited he has barely spoken to me and I feel has completely withdrawn from the relationship. He asked me what I wanted him to say and I told him the reassuring words I had hoped to hear and.... Nothing.... he hasn't said anything. He told me he didn't want me to abort, but he didn't want me taking progesterone either to hold it. I feel an overwhelming sense to protect the baby and do all I can for it so I have started the pills and will continue to take them. So far so good. The stress and heartache I feel being so alone through this hurts so badly. I know this was a shock to BOTH of us... but I feel like this has just hurt me so badly he could be so heartless during my time of need. Ladies... iam sorry to vent... iam just emotional and hormonal. Can life get any worse?!?! :'-(
Re: Really just needing some support...
Give him a little time to come around!! Either way be proud of your strength right now!!
I love my husbabd dearly...he is an awesome man. This pregnancy is a surprise to us, as well. Men go through a range of emotions, discuss none of them, then act out I ways we have never ever seen before from them.
It's so common yet not so known...and it makes us feel double alone.
Give him a few months...or at least that's my plan. Right now, I am trying to overcome my own hormonal whatevers and und Rostand this realm of pregnancy. There are so many changes going on and I feel a sense of duty to get to know the changes to stay in tune with my body and Little Blueberry.
When my husband starts acting out, I don't do this well, but I try to see him as a sweet man who is scared more than he has ever been scared before, desperately grabbing at all possible solutions (other than just plain admitting it) to his fear.
