Partner not as excited as I’d expected
How excited are your husbands about your pregnancy and the growing baby in your bellies? Mine doesn’t feel like he’s very excited about it. He doesn’t asks how is the baby doing today, is it kicking, how do you feel today etc.. Are your husbands like that too? Am I over thinking things? Just feel like I’m the only excited one here.
Mine same like yours. When I showed him the test kit for my 1st pregnancy, he was like “Huh? Really?” That’s all. No hugs, no kisses no nothing. Throughout my pregnancy he didn’t even hold my hand when walking. He even walked ahead of me, leaving me waddling alone all the time. Sometimes I wonder, why did I even get married. My husband is not the kind who would show his emotions even with me. Now on to my 2nd pregnancy, he’s still the same. I yearned for love and attention from my own husband but I know I will never get it. I just seek happiness being with my firstborn and my current pregnancy. For him, I’m just a roommate. He doesn’t bother apologising for his mistakes at all, always on his phone. Go toilet, eat, bathe, sleep, watch TV also on his phone. It’s pointless talking to him cause he will be defensive so now I don’t bother anymore if he wants to die or eat sh*t. Lol. We’ve been married since 2019, known since 2015. Our firstborn is 17 months old and I’m 5 months preggo. Feels like I’m a single mother instead who is living with my baby’s daddy. That’s all. Some men are just wired not to show emotions. Maybe he doesn’t know how to react to your pregnancy, don’t know what to ask, maybe he’s afraid of sounding silly or stupid to you. Men have huge ego, educate him patiently while you still can.
