Does anyone feel like their boyfriend is making their pregnancy enjoyable/ unhappy just by the way they are treating you throughout pregnancy. I’m only 5 weeks 3 days and it’s honestly making me debate my choices.

My bf was a total dick the first 18 weeks but has managed to just about turn a corner. He drank more than he ever did before and was so nasty to me when he was hungover and the only thing I could put it down to was because the pregnancy was a surprise he resented I had changed his life forever and wasn’t ready for it. However as I said the last couple weeks he’s changed and it seems to have sunk it that it’s really happening and he’s been great (let’s see how long it lasts)
If you love him and this is massively out of character then try and talk him through it, maybe he’s in shock?
And if this is just what he’s like then maybe better off realising now and making a tough but inevitably good decision long term.
Hope you’re ok xx

I would say it says a lot about a person and how they treat you when you’re pregnant but only you know how your feeling and pregnancy is a hard time and the one person who should be there for you is your partner. Your early on so it may be the shock, hope your okay love x

First 16 weeks was horrendous due to lots of outside stress but involving in appointments and giving ultimatums and he has been great.

maybe he will be different when he can start feeling baby move, knows the sex etc. men react differently to us as we are the ones physically experiencing it. A lot of men don’t engage until baby is here

Mine left me with a household of bills and everything to sort out 🙃 he told me to get an abortion and said I was choosing this baby over him and his kids. We’d been together for 4 years.
