Struggling with spouse and insecurity. VENTING
My husband & I wanted this baby. We miscarried last year & then tried for over a year to get pregnant. But, now that I'm pregnant... He's sleeping on the couch. Won't come to bed even when I ask him. I asked him why? He said... Because, I get up too many times to pee and sleep with a pillow between my legs to relieve discomfort. ( This is my 3rd live baby. I have two kids from a previous marriage. This is our first child together.) He's also constantly commenting on my weight. I've gained 12 lbs. I feel sick if I don't eat every 2 hrs. I've been trying to eat healthy and started doing squats to remain active. But, he says he's no longer attracted to me because I've gained weight and he likes " tiny" women. I can't be tiny AND create life. I feel ugly & unattractive. I maintain my hair and makeup. Just had my hair redone this week & have received SO MANY compliments from friends and family. But, my husband is focusing on my hips widening.🤦 I feel it's distancing us. Our sex life is becoming less & less frequent. He stopped showering with me. I feel grotesque. Anyone else experiencing this??? I'm hoping It'll be different once our baby is here. Hopefully, my husband will appreciate all that I have sacrificed for him.
****Quick disclaimer: Despite all of this. He is still a good man. He still cooks healthy dinners for Baby & I on a regular basis. He does open car doors & carry groceries for me. He helps with household chores. He buys things for baby & even purchased a fetal Doppler for us to hear baby's heartbeat together. Maybe I'm just hormonal and taking things to heart when I shouldn't be.
