Is he being insensitive to me or am I being over sensitive?
Trigger ⚠️ Abortion ⚠️
My baby just turned 6 months old and I am 11 weeks pregnant. We never used protection after baby and as soon as I told him I was pregnant, he assumed - and insisted - that I was going to get an abortion. We had found out about baby when I only had a week to get in to get the abortion pill, so I told him that if we went out of that range, I would be too scared to do the surgical option because I had a history of infertility and didn’t want the infertility risks of a surgical one.
He seemed okay with it but then I couldn’t get a hold of our local abortion clinic (my OB recommended this one specifically) so I couldn’t get the pills in time. So now he’s just assuming I’m getting the surgical one. This morning, I tried telling him that the reasons I was thinking of keeping the baby before was because 1.) I feel like I missed out on so much with our first little one because of PPD and 2.) I didn’t get to breastfeed because of mental health so the idea of getting another chance was exciting to me. His response was “I knew you just didn’t call the clinic because you wanted to make us keep it” (I did call and I’ve showed him “proof”) and “Sometimes breastfeeding just doesn’t work so idk what you want me to tell you” and left the room.
Like. He KNOWS how much I valued breastfeeding before and while doing it, how heartbroken I was to have to stop, and how hard I’ve been trying to work my BF schedule back. And he KNOWS I called. All I want is a little support, but when I bring that up, he says he “doesn’t know how to be supportive”
