Fed up

It's not fair that us women, while pregnant have to give up a lot of things while the father of the baby gets to do everything the same like hang out with friends 24/7 or party. I get so tired of being in the house alone while my sons father is out having a good ol time! I understand he won't have any time to hang out after our son gets here but it doesn't have to be an every day thing! I just wish he would hang out at home with me & watch movies or something but I guess that must be too much to ask for.

You are 100% right. Just becouse shes pregnant dosent mean she has to give up everything. For a happy family you need balance. That incloodes time for yourself doing somthin you enjoy. You may not be able to go out and party and drink alcohole but you can still go have a coffie tee or other caffe drink with friends

Who's making you stay at home alone? Why don't you go out and hang out with friends, go for a walk, find a comfy spot in a local coffee shop to read a book, go shopping? If you're unhappy with the time he spends out of the house you should certainly have a conversation with him about it... but that doesn't mean that staying at home and getting pissed about him being away is going to help. Go. Do something. You might not be able to change him, but you can change your habits. He's not the only one responsible for your loneliness.

Put your foot down. If my husband did that his *** would be whooped!  But him and I are like twins and like all the same things and spend every second together when we're not working all his friends love me. So I really don't have your problem but if he did that to me it'd be the last thing he did or I'd go find me a real man that actually cares about the kid even if it isn't his. The fact that he does that to you is ********.

You either put your foot down now or forever hold your peace. My bf tries to go out every weekend and I tell him no! You cant, I cant. No one can but he does go out once in a while. And not its not too much to ask for, if you want the attention ask for it and demand it. Dont let this upset you. Talk to him.

Sorry to say but you need to put your foot down, he needs to understand and accept that this baby is as much his responsibility as it is yours.

I wasnt saying every father is that way, just referring to my sons father. But yeah, I'm starting to realize that as well! Being pregnant has made me mature a whole lot more & him not so much. It's time to put my foot down & stop dealing with the same old ****

I'm sorry honey but I agree with AnnieBrooke. The majority of men   (including my husband) that I've known doesn't act like that. :(

I don't think every father is this way.  Sounds like you might have stuck yourself with someone who doesn't want to accept what is happening.
