Am I in the wrong?
So I’ve been with my fiancée 6 and a half years. We have a son together and I’m 26 weeks pregnant. I’m a stay at home mom and he works. Over the last month or two none of my clothes fit me so I have 2 pairs of leggings, some scruffy fake ugg boots that I’ve had for years and just make do with what tops I have even if they don’t Fit and I wear the same coat every day that I’ve had for three years. I feel awful about myself I’m embarrassed about the way I look. He has a wardrobe full of Branded clothes and about 12 pairs of shoes and my son has a LOT of branded clothes and shoes also. I feel guilty buying for myself but seeing as I’ve done so well buying baby stuff out of the money I get for my son I thought it would be nice if I could get a couple of outfits so I can finally fit into something nice and feel better about myself. I asked if I could get a couple outfits on payday he said it was fine and today I’ve mentioned that I’m exited to go shopping and he’s shut me down straight away saying ‘you’ll spend £100 in primark and all MY money will be gone’ which is not the case at all we can afford it he’s just very greedy with money it’s the same when I do a food shop but that has to be done. but I feel guilty getting for myself so every time I’ve had the opportunity to I just go ahead and buy for my son. Am I in the wrong for letting him treat me in the first place because now I feel so small and cheeky as if I’m just taking his money. Every Christmas and birthday so far I’ve bought my son EVERYTHING and he’s had a lot I make sure he’s well looked after and gets plenty on these occasions. My fiancée has probably spent around £20 on each occasion on him I do it all myself with £50 a week. As I said I don’t work so I can’t afford to get any clothes for myself I make sure the money I get for my son goes on him and I’ve been getting for the new baby out of it also. It just feels like a kick in the teeth after everything i do for this family I’m the only one that always goes without for everyone else and I know that’s my roll as a mom but it would be nice to be appreciated and worthy to my fiancée. I don’t feel appreciated at all and I just feel like a slob. I’ve completely lost myself I’m expected to do all the housework take care of my son Make sure there’s food on the table and his work clothes are washed it’s all one sided lately and not to mention there’s no intimacy.
