Getting really frustrated with my partner
Show your support
I’m so sorry you are having to go through that. My husband has come to all bar one appointment every scan and midwife appointment. It’s been him asking to come not me asking him to come and I think it would be fair enough to say to your partner that it’s actually fully his responsibility to support you and going to these is the absolute bare minimum. It makes me a bit angry to think of him saying that to you tbh so definitely don’t think you are in any way over reacting. It’s important for you to try to not get stressed as that won’t help I think if it was me I’d firstly sit him down for a serious chat and discuss what his expectations are and what he sees his responsibilities are. It might help to know how he views it all so you can then explain why you feel like he is letting you down. I’d possibly also speak to people you feel are around him that he cares about their opinion, close fam or close friends so that maybe other folk could also have a word with him gently.xx
Hi! Yeah I agree with Susie clearing out the expectations and talking through can really help. But if u think talking won’t work, I would suggest counselling. Maybe that might help. On a cheerful note, ask him to tie a watermelon to his belly for one day and work! 😂
On a serious note, what helped my husband understand what I went through was reading through some pregnancy books and watching videos
Firstly so sorry that you're going through this. You shouldn't have to beg him to attend appointments with you, and it's even worse that he has time to go out every night but doesn't support you when you need it most. If there's no valid reason he can't attend for example work commitments etc then there should be no reason why he can't be by your side at those appointments. If talking this through with him doesn't resolve you may have to prepare yourself for potentially ending up having to raise your child without him.
