jokes that aren't funny

So my boyfriend just joked with me that he quit his job! And I dont have one so I was stressing out and crying. Cuz he acted so serious about it. And now hes saying I was being dramatic and it was only a joke. I personally think he wants to quit and wanted to see my reaction. Im sure he will quit either before or right after the baby gets here. And if he does  I'm done! Am I wrong for this? Was I really being dramatic? Hes onlu spent $60 on our baby since we found out I was pregnant and im 7months now. Hes always buying things for himself.... I need advice!

My husband hasn't bought anything. The fact is he us staying by my side and hasn't been throughout my pregnancy. He doesn't need to buy anything to show he cares.

My bf kinda did the same thing the other day. He came home cuz he forgot something and when he walked in he said i got fired. I was like what!? And he said jk i forgot something and that was the end. U may have over reacted but it depends on the situation. If he didnt tell u he was joking then ya i would be mad too. Im also not working but my bf is completely supporting me financially. Ur bf should be spending more than 60 dollars on the baby or i would get child support after the baby is born. If he hates his job i would let him quit but let him know he needs to find another job first. If hes just being lazy then no u arent wrong, we have a reason not to work. If u think u need to leave him cuz he stops working or doesnt help u at all then u arent in the wrong. He helped put the baby there he needs to step up.

Agree↑↑ and that was very insensitive of him to sit there n let u cry and him wait to tell u that long that it was a joke. Maybe he was just seeing how u react so he will know whether to quit or not.

My hubby didn't buy anything until I was about 32 weeks along, but then he went crazy and literally spent thousands on the name brands and all the items our son will need, it's like when they realize their baby will be here shortly, they snap into shape.

Well my bf is kinda weird... all he cares about is games...games...games! He promised we were gonna move out before the baby got here and he just recently told me we cant because we dont have the money.  I asked him last night if we could get a 4d ultrasound because ive been wanting one pretty badly amd he asked if it was mandatory.  I said no but we wont see our baby until hes born. And he said well Heather, money is not our friend right now. Well dang if youd stop buying video games money could be our friend!

If it comes down to it, insurance will cover a car seat usually, and county offices will help you get items you'll need. It's not ideal I know, but your baby at least won't be without hun, I'm sorry men have to be self absorbed at the most horrible of times. Stay strong, your child will know who to run to, their mother.

He sounds like he needs to grow up. No he doesnt need to drop a ton of cash but he needs to provide for his baby and moving out (im assuming u live with ur parents?) Is kinda important. My bf and i got a place together cuz i didnt want to pit the burden on my parents. It also sounds like he isnt there for u emotionally. My bf also plays a lot of video games but as i got more angry about it he realized that isnt what is important. Maybe u need to talk to him about ur priorities now that u r going to be parents. My bf gave up going out with friends and playing video games, not completely but he definately cut back and spends more time with me now. Also remind him u guys dont get so much us time when there is a baby to take care of!!

Hes definitely not there for me emotionally. He says all I do is whine. We actually barely talk. I only see him on his off days and we dont do anything.  For example when X-Men came out we went to see it because he wanted to. And ive been talking about Maleficent for weeks and hes just like "its not worth watching"  I dont wanna be stuck with someone who never does anything I want to do

It seems like he still needs some growing up to do but men take a while to get it together just dont stress much girly and maybe talk to your partner and tell him it aint kids play no more must start saving money for your family

Ya i would tell him to grow up or leave him. Maybe if u actually leave him ge will realize games arent worth it. Or maybe he wont care and u will be betrer off without him. Find someone who actually gives a f*ck.

He definitely needs to get his priorities straight before the baby is born. If he doesn't change now, there's a slim chance he'll ever do it. You'll end up feeling even more alone once the baby is born cause he'll be too preoccupied with himself to help you out physically, emotionally, and financially. You really need to have a serious conversation with him and make some decisions before the baby comes.

My hubby sliced his hand open when we were camping and his mom drive him to the nearest instacare to get it fixed. I couldn't go cuz I had to get my lo down for a nap but I asked them to text updates. When an hour had passed and I hadn't heard anything, I texted to ask.
I got a reply saying "they need to amputate".  I started freaking out a little butt I figured it was a joke since I'd seen it and it didn't look too bad. So I asked "seriously?"
-"Yeah there's too much muscle and tendon damage"
(Again freaking out, almost in tears but trying to hold it together)
"How much? Just the thumb or more?" (He'd cut the webbing between the thumb and forefinger)
"To the shoulder"

At this point I realize it's a joke even though I'd already asked, but I'm already crying. I was worried about how we'd pay our mortgage and for the baby and what about insurance...?
My hubby didn't think he'd done anything wrong to joke about it. It's hard to forgive!

Yeah my boyfriend jokes all the time about things that I think he shouldn't.  And I think hes noticed im more serious now then what I use to be. I guess it's because im about to be a mother soon. He says we dont talk hardly anymore because I cant joke woth him. But hes always joking and being silly and immature and its boring now to talk and I cant talk about the baby because he says thats all we ever talk about.
