Will this pass?

My fiancé seems to be distant from me. I'm 29 weeks today. Texts are getting shorter, phone calls are coming anymore. And he seems to be running away to work. (Oil rigs) Doesn't ask any questions about the baby only if I'm doing ok.
Should I be worried about this behavior? Or will it pass and he'll come around when the baby's here
This is probably normal for men?

It was recently like this with my bf too. I'm 39w 1 d. And he's been scared and distant.  I've talked to him and we're better now. It's normal.. I think they just have so much on their mind.. don't be so hard on him.. unless he's truly showing signs of cheating or wanting to back out.. try to talk to him. Express that you feel scared or alone. That's what I did.

If he's going to work and bring in the money i think you are fine. He is probably just nervous about money now since a baby is on the way. If you are worried just talk with him. Ask him what's going through his head. Ask him if you and him are ok.

I kinda don't hear from him for a few days and he'll text me "how are you doing" I don't feel like we're in a relationship just more of staying in contact due to the baby. 2 months ago I caught him meeting another girl for lunch. I read what they talked about it, it seems they are just friends like he says they are, but he didn't tell me and he says he didn't cheat on me he just wanted to talk with an old friend.

Im feeling the same way with mine. And our wedding is in a month :/ its hard and confusing but in my situation i just feel like we are both over whelmed. Hes so excited for our baby and to finally be married i just feel like hes working hard to make money for our family and focusing on doing whats right. Im sure the time in our relationships that feels distant will soon pass.  Hope things change in your favor soon i know it can feel lonely sometimes

I think its normal. He's not cheating or anything and he still asks of your ok so maybe He's just a little nervous about the baby and doesn't know how to handle it. I would just be patient and keep reminding him you love him he will come around. You know they say a man becomes a father when he sees his child and a women becomes a mother soon as she she concieves
