Confused, pregnant, and hurt
I’m a 30 year old who just celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary, have two babies and is pregnant with baby number 3. Mg kids are 2 and half, 14 months old and due in December.
I got pregnant right after my sister in law who was newly married and my husband’s whole side of the family seemed upset, annoyed of my pregnancy. I’m at the point in my marriage where I feel like I live with my husband in a roommate relationship versus a husband and wife relationship. Im in the USA and his sisters (2) live in Canada. So we are countries apart, but he’s always put his sisters before me and always would take their side.
I don’t have any of his sisters on any of my social media as they would delete me and block me back and forth for no given reason. When and if I tell my husband he thinks I’m at fault over it. His sisters don’t talk to me but now that his sister is pregnant and his mom is going to stay with her for 5 months he wants us( myself and 2 kids and heavily pregnant) to travel over so that his mom can meet the kids.
I’ve tried to plan with them In a group about how it could happen, hotel stay for comfort because his sisters don’t talk to me so I can’t go to their house- I don’t even know her husband so how can I take my kids to their house?
My dilemma is that I do not know how to make my husband see reason as he always put his sisters and mom first and say that I’m selfish as my parents and siblings are close by and are close with our kids. His sisters and mom don’t call, text or video chat with me or the kids.
Their conversations with him are deleted and cleared right after- I’m talking they talk on Snapchat and my husband have changed the setting to delete immediately.
I’m heart broken and so confused. Maybe I’ll have to see a marriage counselor or something.
There’s also basically no sexual activities in our relationship currently, we go to bed at different ti w. He just doesn’t show any attention.
If you’ve read this far and have any advice please share.
Update: his side of the family stopped talking to me after we announced the third baby coming. They had lots to talk about having 3 under 3 and how babies are choices etc. With that being said they do not talk to me but they talk to him, he sends them pictures and videos of the kids. They appreciate my son over my daughter. There’s so much that is going on.
His sister will be getting baby soon and he might be the only one going over because they have left the group chat I’ve made to talk about plans on how and when we would travel. I’ve had her on my Snapchat since May and she’s never posted anything but always the first to view what I’ve posted and have something negative to say, “ kids need bedtime, they up too late, etc” I’ve looked past all of that so as to keep a relationship of some sort with them for my kids sake but it doesn’t feel doable anymore.
