Am I making a big deal over nothing?

I am 7 months pregnant and am supposed to be moving in with my boyfriend in the next day or so. He has not helped with any of the planning or packing and has left me to do everything (except pay) by myself. When I ask him to help pack he tells me “it’s not like it’s right around the corner and I’m doing stuff at our house” (it’s a 1.5 hour drive) or says the weather is bad (he knew we’d be getting bad weather and couldn’t for some reason plan ahead to come to my place prior to it getting bad. I am so upset and feel like he doesn’t care.

You feel like he doesn't care because he doesn't. Be very careful how you proceed with him. I can tell you from experience that selfish, dismissive behavior won't just disappear when the baby is born.

Was he like this before?

@Klaudia maybe occasionally but it’s the worst it’s been currently

You are 7 months pregnant with his baby and he let you deal with moving on your own... Trust people when they show you who they are. I'm very sorry

Do not move in with him. It will only get worse if you do. He thinks he got you trapped being pregnant. And beware of the love bombing he might give to try to manipulate you to still move in. It’s all an act to trap you.

Your emotions are valid and you have all the right to be upset. But perhaps he is busy making sure new home is fit for living? I think best is to calmly explain to him that it’s hard for you atm being 7 months pregnant and ask him to come and help pack your items. Arrange time and day.

Sorry but this isn't a good sign for the future. I'd be reconsidering moving in with him if that was his attitude. I moved in with my then boyfriend when I was 4 months pregnant. He did EVERYTHING. I only had to move a few bags. And he wanted to. And he made sure I was settled in. And when I was 9 months we moved into Our house and I literally didn't lift a finger. Big time red flag of how he will be as a father of he won't help you move.
