Pregnant woman here lol. I’ve been struggling mentally today because this whole week my partner has been working, and we haven’t been able to have quality time together, sit down for a conversation, or just hang out. Today he got off of work early and decided to spend time with his friends and tomorrow they are going fishing. My heart is broken because I’ve been expressing to him that me being pregnant I’ve been feeling more lonely and vulnerable. I’ve been waiting all week for us to hang out. The moment he has time he decides to hang out with his friends and mind you last weekend he hung out with them for two days straight. I keep expressing to him how I feel and I just don’t know what to do anymore and I feel really lost and hurt. Before anyone jump to conclusions, I have his location and I know where his friends live. I also have his Instagram so I see what his friends post while they hang out. I feel so selfish for even being hurt. I just wish after a long week of work he would wanna spend time with me instead.

Don’t be afraid to prioritize and communicate your needs to your partner. Do it when you’re calm. Starting from the mindset that you’re selfish will only cause you to hurt more and yearn more. Rather than judge your needs as unnecessary truly reflect on what it is you would like from your partner currently and make a plan to discuss and implement. You’re in a delicate place and you sound very human. All of us want some attention, love, connection with our partner and you’re very normal for wanting it.
