My husband didn't tell anyone I'm pregnant, why?

Question

I have 2 kids from my previous relationship. 2 kids is all I wanted to have. However, I married a man without kids and his dream was to be a father. 
So I promise him that I will have another child. We have been married for almost 2 years. I'm almost 4 months pregnant and he has not told anyone. 
His family from his mother side didn't approve of our relationship because they didn't like the fact that I have 2 children already. Specifically his mother criticized me the most but she had 3 children from 2 different baby fathers who didn't help her when she got married the last time. 
My kids father supports my kids, takes them on vacation every year, takes them almost every weekend and loves my kids with his heart. 
Why if I'm sacrificing so much my husband seems not to be excited? I'm giving him what he wanted.

Answer

My husband couldn't wait to tell everyone, rubs my belly in front of people, he can't get enough. I would be so upset if he didn't tell anyone.

Answer

I had this same issue  with my husband I think it's just different for them. Although they want to be a father it's a shock and something new and can be scary, hope it gets better for you!

Answer

I think he's not telling anybody because he doesn't want you to get mad. I mean, I've seen several posts about women getting mad at people for telling everybody when they don't feel it's the right time to tell everybody yet. Maybe your husband is waiting until you're comfortable with telling the news. Another thing, considering that his side of the family is mean, especially your mother-in-law, he probably doesn't want you to get stressed out with their responses and such. Those are just my guesses. I think you should talk to him about this and see why he's not telling anyone.

Answer

He may just be more private than you. Lots of men are. My husband only tells people if it gets brought up in conversation, other than family and very close friends that we see weekly.  Have you asked why he's been so private?  I actually hated telling people I was pregnant. I got really shy and scared. He may be the same way.

Answer

Maybe he knows his mom will not be supportive so he's avoiding her?  He may be happy but just choosy about opening himself up to hurt.

Answer

I'm going thru the same thing .. except I'm 32 weeks pregnant and the only people he told was his mother and sister .. no one else really knows .. as childish as this may seem .. I post about my unborn on fb.. and he deleted me off fb so I couldn't tag him and stuff !!!!

Answer

Ask him why

Answer

I'm in the same boat. My bf and I have been together for 3 years and I already have an 8yo daughter, and didn't want anymore children but I loved him so much that I changed my mind to make his dream of being a dad come true. I'm now 24w2d and he told no one, not even his mom. And he makes sure that when he does see me (cause we don't live together) his parents aren't around cause it's obvious that I'm pregnant.

Answer

Well have you had a conversation with him as when you would announce as a couple? Maybe he thinks you don't want him too yet.

Answer

For me it was the opposite I didn't want his family to know I'm pregnant, and he was telling everyone.. 😡
