Has anyone or is anyone going through a rough patch with their partner during pregnancy? I feel as though I have fallen out of love with my partner and we are just not suited together. Despite loving him as a person and wanting it to feel more romantic between us it just doesn’t feel right. I’m pregnant and conflicted as to whether i should push these feelings aside at the hope my feelings will change and for the benefit of our child or just end it and try to move forward and figure out a new dynamic for our situation. I feel crazy to even be considering it but I can’t help the feelings I’m having. I wish I wasn’t. Any advice welcome

It's hard one... You might be very much affected and conflicted due to pregnancy hormones. And when baby is born it's a new challenge and test for relationships. People say you should not judge your relationship for the first year after having a baby and I completely agree!! I would even say longer... Pregnancy and post delivery hormones are like a roller-coaster....
I believe it mainly depends on how was your relationship been before pregnancy. Every relationship has its journey and there are ups and downs... Personally would not make any conclusions when pregnant and first two years after delivery if relationship was fine previously xx

What was the relationship like before you were pregnant? Sometimes its hormones and sometimes its times when you need that support you realise its not working.
I split with my ex when I was pregnant as he changed for the worst and I realised it was a controlling/abusive relationship.
Thanks for your messages. I totally understand the idea of waiting until the baby is here and giving things more of a chance. We found out we were pregnant at a time we were realising we perhaps weren’t best suited or as made for each other as we once thought. We have had some serious ups and downs and it has lead to us not bringing the best out in each other at times at all but ultimately he is a good person, he just doesn’t feel like my person. It’s so difficult and I know I need to make the decision myself it’s just such a strain and it’s hard and not something I want to share with all close friends and family as its complicated and personal. I can’t help but feel guilt and like a failure for the relationship not working out before my baby is even born it’s feels pretty heartbreaking.

Bless you... If that's been like this then in my personal opinion it's better to go separate ways rather sooner than later. I'm so against people staying together just because of kids as I have grown up in that environment... Absolutely believe people are happier separately if they both feel they are not meant to be together and it hasn't been working. If they are reasonable they can still be the best parents for baby and better ones than if they stayed together and were unhappy xx I'm sending you lots of strength and hugs ❤️

Yea I wanna kill my husband every time I’m pregnant. I think I’m gonna leave him and at least this baby he won’t have legal access to because I’ll put my name on the birth certificate and not his. Lmfaooo I’m always back in love with him by the time we’re home with the baby 😂 😂 😂
