Is my husband selfish or is it just me?

So I'm 38 weeks pregnant and my husband doesn't seem to care. When I feel sick,have swollen feet, abdominal pain, etc, he really doesn't care. He says I exaggerate but when he feels a little headache, woooooo that's the end of the world !! He wants me do everything for him but he can never rub my feet or my back. When he feels stressed , I try to make him feel better. Play with him and show him that I love him. When I feel sad or stressed , he makes fun of me and/or gets mad at me. What the ****? When it comes to money , he doesn't have enough for me only for him. He has enough to buy stuff for his horses , or ropes, to buy his "cravings" . He only gives me $20 and expects me to keep him for the whole week. He'll get mad if I waste it. When I get cravings he doesn't buy them for me because we need to save. I know he has more important stuff to pay but I'm important too. When it comes to family, he cares more for his family then me. His cousins wife not only disrespected me but pushed me and he said to leave her alone because that was family. His mom recently got super drunk and was throwing up everywhere and to top it off, that same night I was having difficulties breathing and I couldn't eat anything. Instead of being there with and taking care of me, he was taking care of his mom and kissing her forehead. Leaving me to the side. Until I screamed at him to come because he didn't want to leave her. She just threw up, I was in pain. So , what do you guys think ?

    Well, I have only seen your side of the story. But from what I hear he may be dealing with the stress of having a new a baby in a peculiar way but if this is a consistent thing then maybe you should consider marriage counciling as it is an issue which needs to be discussed but not end in a fight. Especially with a baby on the way!

    Whether or not your husband is being "selfish," if he doesn't feel ready for kids yet, don't push him. 25 is still quite young. It's quite reasonable for him to want to enjoy being a young couple with you. Having a baby changes everything, and if he's not ready, he may resent the child. You don't want that, do you? See if you guys can talk about this, and find a timeline that works for both of you. Maybe he'd feel ready to try in a year or two. That wouldn't be so bad, would it? Then you'd have his 100% support, and you'd be working as a team together. Remember, he's not saying that he "never" wants to have kids; he just doesn't want a baby right now. These big decisions really need to be made together. It's part of being a strong couple. Compromise is always necessary on both sides. Good luck!

    Yes your husband is selfish, and has an emotional maturity of a 7 year old. Was he always like this? How did you fall in love with this mess?

    He sounds like he is from a dysfunctional trailer trash family or something. Maybe you should tell him how you're feeling (But it sounds like he might just laugh at you). There are no easy answers.

    Maybe try to get him to go church if he doesn't already. Usually a priest/pastor will talk about how it's bad to be selfish so maybe he will start to understand what he is doing.

    You poor darling. There's a song by the R&B artist Joe, Treat Her Like a Lady, that calls out all those guys that are just this -not tender, endearing, kind to their women. I wonder though if this is a new thing or was there always signs like this before your marriage? Lots of ladies out there endure these kind of things and grow bitter all because they wanted the comforts and conveniences of a relationship.

    I say confront him. Consider writing a love letter and pour it out like your above question, then talk about that night in your pillow talk. If he has any sense, he would listen and learn. Because man, lonely guys like me wouldn't mind to take these darlings off their hands!

    Source(s): Now see what's old to you, is just like new to the next man. What you don't do for her, she'll find somebody else who can. If you don't wanna lose, out on the best thing you ever had, You better take it from me, you'll only end up just a lonely man, -Joe, Treat Her Like A Lady

    He sounds like an utterly complete *** whole. Your pregnant he needs to put his women before anything. He's the reason you're in pain now. Honestly you need to talk it out with him and make him understand that he needs to take care of you. What is he going to do when the baby comes? This isn't something you want him to keep doing

    I think you bred with someone you should not have.

    Go for a pregnancy massage and a pedicure this week. You deserve it. Just don't buy groceries.
