Issues with my husband! Help!?

Hey guys,

I'm 30 weeks pregnant and obviously as big as a house and miserable. When my husband and I go out anywhere, instead of walking next to me and holding my hand of putting his hand on my belly or kissing me or being affectionate, he basically walks ahead of me and ignores me. It makes me want to cry. He claims he wants this baby and me but it doesn't feel like it really...even at doc appointments he never really asks questions or makes comments after we're out...what do I do? Help!

    Honey, be honest with him & tell him just how you feel. Tell him he told you he wants this baby, but shows you NO signs of it. You don't feel well in the first place, this just upsets & hurts you more. Ask him if he can at least show you more compassion & act like he says this is what he wants. You need his support NOW more than ever, know he doesn't understand, regardless, could he just be more compassionate twds. you & show you more love & concern. See if it helps make a difference for you. I certainly HOPE it will for your sake...best to you, honey, congratulations...:)

    Hmmm ok well i am not going to take his side here, but something siimilar happened with my husband and our first child.

    He really was thrilled to be a dad and is an amazing father. When our daughter was first born he was very stand offish and did not get involved because he had not bonded with her, he was the same during the pregnancy. You have to remember we are carrying the baby so we are always connected to them and it is very real for us but to some guys its just an idea at the moment that has not come to fruition.

    It took a number of months before my husband began to bond with out daughter and finally he did and withing 2 years she doesnt leave his side. then we had the twins and he was completely different from day one and even today i am just pregnant with our 4th and he is so thrilled and showing me off and i dont even have a belly yet haha. Once he realised and it took time and patience he finally worked things out.

    My husband still always walked beside me though and held my hand so i would be telling him how you feel and that you are not happy and cannot keep feeling this way. he needs to do something about it or it may affect your relationship. make him feel your belly, make him get involved. make him realise he is going to be a daddy soon. encourage him to get involved.

    Good luck

    It sounds like you need to have a serious talk with him. You could tell him his actions like not being affectionate in public is making you think he doesn't want to be a family. He could also be stressing out over how much this baby is going to cost. Just talk to him to get answers from him and don't assume anything.

    Why don't you just tell him directly about how you feel and that it hurts your feelings when he walks ahead of you like that in public.

    Marriage is a constant changing and evolving process where you are supposed to be learning and growing together.

    Maybe he really does care but you are just feeling overly sensitive and overwhelmed right now with this pregnancy.

    Sit down very calmly and express to him your feelings about his actions. Hopefully the conversation will gain some momentum and answers will be give to questions. The most important thing is to remain calm. Hope this helps!

    My dear friend,instead of worrying about these trival matters just concentrate on your health and your pregnancy. Everything will be alright after your delivery.

    Was he like that when you weren't pregnant? Or he becomes like that when you are pregnant?

    If he has been like that even if you aren't pregnant, it could be just his own way and personality.

    was he affectionate before the pregnancy? if yes, may be he is scared, going through adjustment...if he was never affectionate then he might be just a "tree."

    Im betting your both young and married too soon. Sounds like a future divorce to me. He isnt taking it seriously.
