Selfish husband behavior
Hi ladies!
Currently 11 weeks and so excited. My husband and I have been planning this pregnancy- but now that we are pregnant, he barely wants to talk about the baby or the pregnancy. He came to the two doctors appointments and showed some brief excitement during the ultrasound. As soon as we left the doctors office that day, though, he started talking about other things.
Has a fight with him the other night because after a week of horrible sleep he woke me up at 4:17am saying he was on the edge of the bed and wanted more space! I then had a night sweat, couldn’t sleep the rest of the night, and worked a 10 hour day starting at 7! He doesn’t understand why I’m so upset he woke me from sleep… even though I have been complaining of being tired, I’m pregnant, and I work full time too! (We have the same type of job)
He complains he’s also tired and busy at work. Said he sometimes “just wants a break” and doesn’t want to think about the pregnancy. I said I need a pregnancy cheerleader because it’s hard physically, emotionally, and mentally. He said he’s “too tired” to be a cheerleader. I told him even though he may want a break, he can’t get one because I can never get a break from pregnancy.
I’m so disappointed. He is someone who always thinks of himself as being super helpful, but I think he’s being selfish and I can’t make him see it.
What do I do??
