Husband issues

Does anyone else feel like their husband is disengaged from you being pregnant? I’m 33 weeks and I feel like my husband is concerned with providing that he isn’t present with me and it makes me really sad. I’ve voiced how I feel and he gets better for a day or two but goes right back to it.

Same here, my spouse says he loves me everyday but I don't feel it. I can tell he's more into making sure we stay afloat on bills which I can't thank him enough but. The intimacy is not there. He seems drained from over working. I can't wait to go on paid leave so that I can be a bit more help with receiving full pay as I take off as much as I can due to pelvic pain. I cry sometimes when he is not home because sometimes I'm unsure if he's happy or not. He tries to reassure me things are ok but I can tell something is wrong.

Yea I feel this 100% 😕

It’s been like that both pregnancies and looks like his priorities are more his ppl at work and his job. I spent 99.99% of The time alone with my 1 yr old and now pregnant 31 weeks has been hard. I’ve voiced it to and to him im just crazy complaining all the time. Unfortunately I feel single in a relationship

It’s sad but I don’t think he’s intentionally trying to hurt your feelings or anything. Dudes they tend to go about stuff differently like when I first got pregnant I thought my bf was hesitant about it because he wasn’t showing the same excitement as me or talking about it as much as me but really he was just in his head. I think you guys talking about the baby more or you reassuring him more like you’re gonna be fine we got this you’re gonna do great will help and if you’re already doing this you might just have to keep addressing it like hey can you be more consistent with this because I feel like this and I understand you feel like this but I need you present and with me sometimes too

I echo @Fay … men don’t really have apps like this, or talks in-depth about fatherhood, sex, needs, nesting, support from other dads/people. It’s not intentional, they just don’t have the same support and it comes across to us a lack of intimacy and not being present. I went through this phase with my husband in the 2nd trimester. He was stressed and overwhelmed about other issues. Once we talked about what was blocking him supporting me & being in the moment, I gained a greater understanding of he’s nervous too but we must work together to ride out the pregnancy as a team/household.
