Husbands don’t understand pregnancy emotions/hormones

Honestly I think I had such a fairy tale in my head about how my husband would be so emotionally supportive during my pregnancy. When I’m overly stimulated or upset about a miscommunication we have and I start crying he can literally ignore me and turn his back away from me. It’s making me resent him a lot. This is the least you can do. Whether I annoy you or whatever happens, just be there. You don’t even know how hard it is everyday being pregnant and what’s happening to a woman’s body. I’m so fed up.

You are right, they don’t understand. I had this fairy tale too and 4 years down the line, I can tell you the truth that communication is your only salvation here. He can’t read your mind.. tell him how you need him to show up.

I feel like I be communicating every damn time 😭 he never gets me and I get so frustrated that he don’t and things just end up worse

Are you getting frustrated because he doesn’t get you? Or because he doesn’t get “it”? I personally struggle with communication… and in relationships this gets really apparent. Whats your relationship style? Your attachment style? I made the mistake of not sorting out these kinks before the baby. I had so little awareness of how important these discussions pre baby would be. I know its not easy, but this is the best time to start the work.
