Last night, after putting my toddler to bed, I developed severe abdominal pain that was bad enough that I had to lie down. I am also 15 weeks pregnant.
Instead of being concerned about how I was feeling, my partner became angry because we could no longer have sex. The argument escalated to the point where he said he wanted to end the relationship because he wasn't getting sex. He told me he'd made the effort to smell nice and that I could have at least offered oral sex or "something."
I was in such significant pain that I was considering calling NHS 111, yet he showed no concern for my wellbeing. His focus was entirely on the fact that he wasn't getting sex, rather than on the fact that I was pregnant and in pain.
I'm completely at a loss and genuinely shocked by what happened.

First of all, I am so sorry that happened to you. What did the pain turn out to be? Are you ok now? I had something similar myself yesterday (nearly 7 weeks pregnant) and was convinced I was miscarrying because it was so painful, turned out to be gastro issues.
Second of all, I would try to have a sit down talk with your partner about how that made you feel, and why it’s unacceptable. If he apologises then all is well and hope it doesn’t happen again. If he doesn’t take accountability, maybe you need to reassess your relationship or maybe think about couples counselling.

Wow!! Seriously? Im sorry you went through that.
You absolutely should have called 111 or the EPU. Pain like that in pregnancy can be very serious. Im talking ectopic preganancy that could kill you serious... which is why his behaviour is so absolutely shocking to me. How are you now?

WTF is wrong w/all these “partners” tonight/last night, did they all start taking AH pills or something?
I really hope you’re feeling better now, let us know everything is ok, I really hope you got, or will get, checked out soon.
On a side note, I hope you give him exactly what he wants, not the sex part, the single part, you’ve already at least done the sex part with him twice & that’s 2x’s more than he deserves. Let him go find more sex while single, I’m sure lots of women will totally fall for his “sexless” relationship excuse for why he left you at 16w pregnant & chasing after a toddler, all while dealing w/severe abdominal pain & he’s trying to talk you out of calling for help until he gets his priority BJ, bc he “made himself smell nice”. wtf does that even mean, my hubs & I both go to bed smelling nice every night, it’s not something we just do to get laid, it’s just basic hygiene & common courtesy. Omg I should be in bed but I’m so furious for you right now.
