I wish I felt loved during this pregancy

I’m sitting here in tears because I’m realizing this whole family thing isn’t going to work or come close. I’m currently a week away from being 20 weeks pregnant and I don’t feel the affection from my baby’s father as I feel I should. When I imagine pregnancy I imagine it being a hearttful moment when a mother and the father unite together more than ever. My babys father hasn’t fulfilled any of my cravings, every time I’m in pain or complaining about a headache or back pain he tells me jokingly “no you don’t feel nothing”. He doesn’t show any attention to my little bump, doesn’t rub my bump, hug it or even try to talk to the baby. I’ve tried to have him go to any of my appointments with me and he refuses because he either says he hates the doctors office or because he can’t take off work which are both bs lies. The one thing that makes me the most upset is every time i send him anything that has to do with the baby whether it’s a video of hearing the heartbeat or ultrasound pictures, or even a selfie of me with my bump I get nothing out of him. It’s like he doesn’t even bother with any of it ... I’m so stressed out I wish I could have seen that this was going to happen way before I got pregnant so I would have waited to have a baby with a man who deserves my little baby in every single way !
