Unless husband

[Nikole_mamatobe]

Does anyone else have a us less husband? Since becoming pregnant and due in a week I have grown resentment toward him. He still bearly does anything around the house, never cares to see how I am doing- no feet rubs, no back massages and no affection whatsoever. We bought a stroller 8 weeks ago, it's yet to be set up.. I've asked and asked and asked and told I am a nag. He plays hockey all time and textes his friends constantly ... He plays video games on the weekend. I am at my wits ends... I feel like once the baby comes I'll feel even more alone. anytime I ask for anything to be done I'm a nag and nothing gets done unless I ask him to do it. I feel like this has been an eye opener for me

Know it don't work. All nagging do is run a man off.

Sometimes you just have to make the best of it.  If he's working,  and contributing,  and is basically a nice guy,  maybe you should just put the stroller together yourself?  If you do it,  without complaining,  it's likely he'll be willing to help you in other ways.

As it is,  he's kind of just shut your voice out.  

Can you think of the last time you said something he wanted to hear?  That's kind of key - make sure not everything you say to him is negative.

Best wishes.  It really doesn't sound like you should give up on this relationship,  but take a different tactic.

Im sorry to hear about your struggle. But maybe sit down and have a talk with him let him know how you feel and what you expect to have him do. This way if things get worse at least you tried to get him to inderstand your side. My husband works away from home so i only see him for about 5 days out of a month and we are expecting our 2 baby. He does what he can when hes home but for the most part im alone in a lot of it. But that is m our choice to live this way. Choose how you want to live an make it happen for yourself. Ive decided lifes to short and hard to not be happy with what you want. So i hope things get better for ya

Screw that. Men are not all useless children. Go live with family or a friend until he grows up.

He may be in denial! Hopefully once your little one is born he snaps out of it :) but until then, I'd do it myself. But I'd make a point. I would make sure he knew you were putting the stroller together. the silent guilt trip....it always gets my husband ; )

All i can say is you are not alone hun. I can feel your pain totally. For a few family reasons i have been very upset since the last 2 days. Even after knowing evrrything, my husband has not been empathetic at all towards me. Today he comes home late, drunk, lies to me that he was in an office party. I cried till i almost passed out.. All we can do is pray for our babies and for ourselves..

You are not alone I know some many others that are going threw the same thing. Myself included please try to stay clam and not to over work yourself. If you have other family or close friends try to reach out for help.

[blessedmomoftwo]

I agree with keebls

[StephieDalek]

I've been going through the same thing with my partner, so I really feel your pain and frustration! Mine has been sort of cured for the moment, after my dad had noticed things and decided to have a chat lol!!

[Nikki2x]

I agree with ce5ce.... I wouldn't ask him to do anything, just get it done yourself, if it's something you can't do on your own ask a friend  or family member....After a lil silence and him seeing cribs put together and strollers assembled I would think he'd step up to the plate. But then again was he helpful before you became pregnant?

It dad to say but men are like kids you have to treat them that way sometimes. My husband does a lot but when it comes to taking the freaking trash out itjist sits there tell I finally try to take it out then he jumps up and days I was going to do that and I'm like when a month from now. But he does do everything else when asked some times I don't even have to ask. But yes definetly like kids

[Keebls]

Try being positive, that will encourage him to do the things you want and need. I myself am challenging myself to focus on the good and have the right perspective. The right perspective helps to align our thoughts and heart so that we don't become resentful. Hang in there, we often feel the weight of the world is on our shoulders because we want it all done on our schedule. Try to relax and enjoy the thought of your new bundle of joy's arrival.

For my husband it's more of a I finally get sick of waiting for him to I quit nagging and I do it myself and that.gets him up and being helpful. He still complains but does it. Or I cry lol. I don't say that's why I just find a dumb reason to cry and he does things to cheer me up lmbo.

[ce5ce]

An eye opener indeed. I wouldn't say anything. I mean nothing. He'll freak out for sure. Silent treatment is where it's at. Don't show that you're upset because you don't have to be. Just seriously don't say anything unless you absolutely have to. And when you do, make it a point to be as sweet and as calm as ever. Trust me. It'll work
