Honest question: did pregnancy make you question your marriage?
I’m asking this genuinely and respectfully.
I’ve been having a lot of relationship doubts during this pregnancy. Some of the issues aren’t new, but pregnancy feels like it has turned the volume way up on everything. I feel more sensitive to imbalance, more aware of what I need in a partner, and more lonely than I expected to feel.
He isn’t a bad person. There are good qualities there. But I’ve been feeling disconnected and questioning things in a way that’s been hard to ignore.
Did anyone else go through something similar while pregnant? Did it fade after birth? Did it reveal deeper issues? I’m just looking to hear real experiences

Yup I felt lonely and not loved during pregnancy. It got worse after birth so make sure u say everything that’s on ur mind exactly how u want to say them as long as it’s respectful.
This is the time to fix as much before baby arrives
Unfortunately yes. It makes you doubt everything. My second pregnancy was worse. I wanted to separate and I have a great man. Your hormones make all the bad worse. I took everything personally.
It did, and the first year of babies life did as well!! My husband is amazing and I’m very glad I didn’t let the hormones take over.
HOWEVER, sometimes your body is saying “this man isn’t safe”. Talk to someone you deeply trust, or a complete stranger going through something similar for their opinion!
This is our second baby together. I did feel it a little during my first pregnancy, but it definitely feels amplified this time. We’ve been together almost 10 years. And there are so many things about him that are great. It just seems like my plate is constantly fuller than his and I’m getting a little resentful over that. And just a bunch of things that are just stacking up.
im not married but i did as well go thru this with bf. For me it did fade slowly after birth, i sometimes still have those thoughts but usually tht happens when im overwhelmed or stressed
