sick and tired! Rant/Vent

So I usually avoid posting things like this, but I've been upset and crying about it a lot lately. My bf is a truck driver and before my pregnancy he would usually be on the road Mon-Fri. Once I got pregnant he promised he'd change things around and be home more often. He even had me change my work schedule assuming he'd be home on certain days. Well he's now home less than he was before.. I literally only see this man for about 36 hrs then he's gone again. This is my first pregnancy and I'm going to appointments,  having sleepless/painful nights, and dealing with everything alone. And it hurts.

And what hurts most is that when I tried talking to him about it he said "you're nagging and being emotional because you're pregnant" that definitely made me feel worse. I just feel so alone and line he's not apart of this pregnancy.

@diddy_2_23_15 my bf has said that's his reason too but him lying about being home more now doesn't make me trust anything he's saying! Thanks and I'll do my best to be strong and you too :)

Thx for your responses ladies! I try to be happy during the time we have together, but knowing how little time we have together is always in the back of my mind. And I'm constantly worried that once the baby comes it'll put more strain on us.

Being pregnant and aline is awful. Mt husband is an or truck driver and he's been gone since Sept and not coming home until november. Be happy with the time you do have with him and try to make the best of it. I know we all hit that point when we get overly emotional because we are exhausted and everything hurts....I'm 31 weeks tomorrow and it's been a miserable pregnancy and hard not having him here at all. Try to keep yourself occupied and not think about the time apart. Think about the time together and make it happy. Hang in there.
