Strap a bowling ball to his belly for a few months, stop him having a drink, kick him in the balls every so often and shove a cricket ball up his penis and see whether he thinks that's bare minimum. What a twat. I must admit, mine hasn't been the best so far this pregnancy but we had a really good chat about it last week and he's getting better. Once baby is here he seems to think I'll be doing everything because I'm "on holiday" for 10 months...........we shall see!
He also sounds super misogynistic, because you’re a woman in a relationship with a man, the bare minimum that you can bring to that relationship is bearing his child? Grow the eff up. It’s 2023. You owe him nothing and if he doesn’t like or appreciate the sacrifices and choices you’re making in the partnership then you should both go separate ways.
Big. Yikes. He sounds like a real piece of work and I honestly cannot even fathom being treated this way by my husband after baby arrives. For example, I’ve been off work since finding out I was pregnant (laid off), I had a rough pregnancy having HG, I’ve been helping with renovating our house but have taken MANY days to just lay around and often sleep later into the morning (sometimes 11-12) after going to bed at the same time as my husband. Recently I’ve had a lot of back pain and discomfort being in the home stretch and while I decided to breastfeed and have a medicated vaginal birth, my husband never tried to have an opinion on how I would deliver our baby and has been a supportive angel the entire time, even working from home more often then he would like to be home with me and to take care of me when I let him. This guy does not understand the sacrifice bringing a child into the world is, and does not appreciate the sacrifices you’ve made for your family.
I would absolutely burst his bubble about the false reality he is living in. You are not crazy for being hurt by this. That is so condescending, ignorant and completely wrong! He has absolutely no idea what toll the entire growing and birthing process takes on us and our bodies and then to breastfeed on top of it... he can kindly go fuck himself as far as I am concerned!
Time to get a new hubby. 😳
