Should I separate from my husband? I am pregnant. We married 5 months ago and I am 13 weeks pregnant now.?
My husband is in Miami on temporary work project. His family is in Illinois, he has 4 sisters. My husband always treats me as an outsider. He says things which hurt me as he is my only family here, I get along with his family very well but its him where he says his family is his parents and sister and I and my child would always come after his other family. I never have tried to separate him away from his family but he somewhere has negative feelings inside his mind where he thinks he can't let his wife and kid take him away from his family. His sisters are married and have kids, their family is their husband and kids and my husband can't accept me as his family and I hate to see my child go through this. I fear he will neglect my child and me always, I hate to be second fiddle. I don't want to be his top priority but by all means I deserve a respect of wife and should be accepted equally as his family. Other day, he told his sister that my pregnancy and this kid has screwed his plans,
when I asked him to not say something like this ever again, he said it was only meant as joke. Last night, he got onto me for no reason where he again started comparing me and my child to his family. I felt so hurt that I told him that I always thought you and your family is my family too but if you have hard time accepting me and this child as your family, then why you married me? He said because thats the norm of life. I was so hurt. I told him if this is how he thinks and doesn't care about my feelings when he says such words, then I will move out and will have my family just with my kid and he can have his family with his parents and sisters. I feel I should move out but I love him and scared to live alone with my unborn, its going to be very tough. What should I do?
My parents and all extended family is in another country. All I have in the name of family is him.

hmmmmmmmm sounds like he wasnt ready to make that commitment to you and the baby, but done it because it was expected of him. Hes emotionally abusing you and i would suggest counseling for the two of you or sitting down and talking with his family about his behavior, maybe that will help. The other thing i wanted to say was that you dont have to be afraid of being alone and raising a child, its possible, yes its hard and there are struggles that go along with it but think of your self and the baby. I hope you get the answers you are looking for. good luck!

Am 13 weeks pregnant also, truth be told I can't tell you whtether to live your husband. I like having my b/f near me during my pregnancy (especially now cause its my first and am scared) cause he makes me fill better and am not stressed out when he is near me. If your husband brings negotives vibes when his around and you don't like him near I think you should know what to do about that to protect you in having a less stressfiul pregnancy which is good for the baby. Anyways I hope thinks turn out well for you and try not to worry much and be happy for YOUR baby on the way.

it sounds to me like he needs to grow up and stop acting like a baby....my husband is 30 and he does stuff like that all the time and i am ready to leave him - i have 2 children and i am very scared, but you gotta do what is best for you and your baby - if he really loves you - maybe if you leave it will be a wake up call as to how much he loves and needs you....i can tell you from experience that it doesn't get any better - we have been together for 10 years and it only seems to be getting worse and before we were married - he wasn't like that...good luck and may god be with you and give you strength...

I think you should leave. You need to prove to yourself and him that you can make it on you own. It's a horrible thing to feel like you're stuck or dependent on someone else. I've been there. It will be difficult but eventually it will get easier to deal with. And who knows, maybe if he sees that you can seriously manage w/o him, he might realize how important you are to him. He may just need a wake-up call. But he sounds like a jerk and you're prob better off without him.

being pregnant, you need as much support as possible. where is your family? can you go stay with them while you are going through the pregnancy? your husband sounds scared of the situation. he may not know how to handle all of this and is dealing with it by being a JERK!! you need support, and i dont think your going to get it from him, especially if he is out of town. once the baby is born, he may change his ways, atleast give him til then to make a decision. in the meantime try to be positive.

before you decide to separate perhaps you and your husband should seek counseling he seems to be confused as to what Family is, you and your unborn child are now as much a part of his family as his parents and siblings! How does his "family" feel about how he treats you?

i think its time you ask him to choose. it sucks if it comes down to it because there should be no question about it. when 2 people get married, they begin their new family. i love my parents and my sister but my husband and my children come first in my life now and the same with my husband. if he cant understand the priorty of his wife and child then he will cause you nothing but pain in the future. good luck!!!!

hes what we call another @ $*
somethings wrong with him where he should know that hes still family with his parents and sisters but his wife and child should be his number 1 priority
it sucks to leave but if you talk to him and he is so negative to you
simply leave because he dosent appreciate you for what you really are.
You mustve married him for some reason but I guess people arent always you think they are
Just dont divorce him, though, because people on yahoo told you to

tell him for the babys sake , to change his ways ... and grow up
if he refuses to take resposibility for his ways leave him . and dont regret it if he comes begging you back because he didnt think you were serious give him a chance but he messes up , leave him for good . its not as easy as it sounds cus the trick is to make sure you dont think hes coming back . u know ... cause it prolly wont happene . but if it does... he really wants you . if not , alot of people help pregnant women so do it for your baby you and the baby dont need his **** . u dont need to be sad or stressed in one of the happiest time of your life :- alot of women are alone and get through it with flying colors :-) good luck

I think you should seperate so he can have time to think about his actions towards you .you should also go stay with your own family for a while sp you can feel loved from someone ill betcha while your gone heill relize that you are his family and he made a mistake but if he doesnt wake up then it never was meant to be please email me with your final decision please
