Is it normal?
For men to panic once you’re pregnant? My husband is the one that wanted this baby. Treated me like a queen while ttc, last Thursday he took me out for my favorite meal and we had the best night ever. Friday I got a positive test, told him on Saturday, and everything has changed. He’s cold, distant, won’t touch me (normally have sex 1-2 times a day). If I touch him in any way, not even a sexual way, he bats my hand away. We go to sleep without being wrapped in each others arms for the first time ever. He’s constantly on his phone checking scores and watching sport videos in the evenings when we’re together but takes hours to respond to me during the day. I asked if something was bothering him and he said no, just tired. I haven’t let him know how bothered I am yet but I’m constantly on the verge of tears over his behavior.
Is this a phase needing to come to acceptance with the baby he BEGGED me for? It’s almost like he’s mad at me when this is what HE wanted!
Edit - just to be clear, I am excited about this pregnancy, it’s not like I’m blaming him for getting me pregnant, so I’m not being cold about it. I was super excited to get 2 lines and got him a little gift to tell him. He didn’t make any reaction at all. My heart broke after expecting him to be ecstatic by my announcement.
