Just a rant
I’m nearly 11 weeks pregnant and my husband is being a selfish jerk! We used to have a deeper connection but when we got married 5 years ago and I moved to his hometown the emotional neglect started then. We already have a child 3yo I’m a sahw. Most parent things I do. I’ve supported him through his career, I’ve invested money into us and I gave myself the short straw for years so he can build in order to provide for us. Team work! However I’m pregnant again and there is nothing from his side. If I ask him to help with our toddler he strops about the place and pulls his face. Not once has he comforted me whilst I’ve been sick he said he can’t hear my being sick when I asked him. The normal pregnancy stuff, I feel uncomfortable sick tired moody and disgusting. God forbid he gives me a hug or says something warm towards me. I asked why he doesn’t compliment me or say nice things to me he said he thinks it in his head. I said then why don’t u say it to me like I do with u he said ‘dunno’. Im feeling like I’m going to explode at him I know we made an agreement of our roles until things get better financially etc but now I’m pregnant I have expectations of what a man should be doing for his wife which we’ve talked about. I feel like I’m emotionally neglected by my husband regardless of pregnancy it’s just highlighted now. Im fed up and feel like giving up. The amount of things I do and have done for him I won’t go into but whatever I’ve mentioned here isn’t everything. What I’m asking from him I dot. Feel is unfair or too much to ask for but I’m beginning to feel like this man is out of his depth and maybe I’m not going to be loved the way I want to be from this man. I don’t hate him and there’s no need for hostility but I’m scared I’m falling out of love for him. We’ve been together for 11 years he changed my life but it’s just not the same anymore l know my grandad and grandmother went through so much in there marriage but they were married for 50 years and they would tell me marriage is hard. It’s not all about love or money etc etc. meaning there’s going to be ups and downs so I know there’s always going to be hardships and that is what marriage is about, pushing through. It just can’t seem to get through to him. What I want from him is not important enough for him to try. I’m just fed up
