Sudden repulsion to my partner

Pregnancy has made me really repulsed by my partner, everything he does is annoying, he smells gross, his breath is gross, I can’t stand the sound of him eating or the sound of his mouth when he talks. I literally just had to politely ask him to stop talking to me because I could hear the spit between his lips. Kissing is also completely gross, I can hardly even receive a peck. When he gulps or skulls water the sound makes me want to scream. I can’t stand the sound of him breathing or the feeling of him breathing on me. We can’t cuddle because of this and the thought of having sex is disgusting. I’m lucky that he is really patient but I’d love to be able to explain what’s happening. I feel AWFUL. Please tell me this is a thing. I’m not sure what’s going on. I hope it wears off with the change of hormones later on. I’m about 14 weeks. ❤️

It’s definitely a thing. I’ve heard a lot of women talking about this so you’re not alone! ❤️ I’m sure it will pass when you get into the second trimester!! Apparently it can happen post birth too but more in the way of resentment. Maybe have a chat to your midwife/OB and see if they have any resources to help you cope in the meantime? Weird as this may sound maybe try Tik Tok?

This happened to my mum when she had my oldest brother. She said she couldn't stand my dad for some reason when she was pregnant. But as soon as my brother was born the feeling went away. I always thought it was weird, pregnancy has these crazy sides haha

Ps I’m on the SC too so if you want to chat let me know! ❤️

I feel you girlfriend

Definitely was me when I was pregnant from 2 months on. Now that the baby is 3 months I can almost kind of stand him again

haha this happened to me last year. i went my entire 1st and 2nd tri absolutely hating my partner. couldn’t stand the smell of him either. it got to a point where we slept with a pillow in between us to block each others faces because i couldn’t stand looking at him, hearing him, feeling him, smelling him, everything. we also didn’t have sex for 7.5 months. we fought a lot because of this. i felt terrible, because he expressed to me so many times that i was hurting him. but my entire life and body had changed to birth our son so he just needed to deal with it. our 3rd tri was better, morning sickness had finally passed at 7.5 months, we were finally starting to add spice into our sex life again. then out came our son, and i began to hate him again… this time it’s more resentment, but it’s taken 3.5 months for me to finally love him like i used to again. you may be in for a long ride of this, or it may pass quick. you’re ok, your body is just focused on growing a baby❤️

Omg thank you everyone 🙏🙏🙏

I couldn’t stand my husband touching me with my first during the 1st trimester. I read it’s normal even the entire pregnancy
