Terrified of him as a father to my child
I love my husband, I do. But this pregnancy has been awful and I'm completely terrified of him being the father to my child. I'm 8 months pregnant and he has yet to step up AT ALL. He expects me to pick up after him, make him food, take care of him like I don't have myself to take care of. I'm really starting to have enough of him being so irresponsible. I'm a high risk pregnancy and so I shouldn't be doing all these anyways, and it's super hard to even keep my house clean because I'm running around behind him like a child picking up all his messes. I have to beg him to take out the garbage, or clean the litter box, or help with dishes. Lastnight he promised he would pick up his candy and stuff he had all over the floor before he went to bed so our dog, who can get very sick from eating anything other than a specific food, doesn't eat anything. Sure enough I come out to the living room and it's all over the floor. I cannot handle trying to take care of a grown man and a newborn when our baby comes. I have NO ONE around me because we moved far away from my family and I just sit in the house all day alone and when he gets home I have to do things for him. I always make sure he has food for work, his clothes are washed. Etc. he complains if I didn't do dishes and he has to wash something up to use to eat. I'm seriously getting depressed and I'm terrified of what it's going to be like when the baby comes. Everytime I try to tell him my feelings and talk to him he blows me off and just assumes it's my "pregnancy hormones" causing me to cry or be so upset. I don't want to leave him, I want him to be a daddy to our baby, but how am I supposed to be with someone so irresponsible? 😓
