Now that isnt right in my opinion! I also No longer work but my husband wouldn't dream of saying that to me. He was the one who didn't want me to work whilst pregnant. You are married making you equal partners. What is mine is yours, as the saying goes....

I'm doing what I can with what I got. I went through all the clothes and made a list of wheat we have and I feel we'll need but he won't let me do anything else because if I spend money he throws a fit (I'm a stay at home mom) and he don't say it but might as well say I can't spend it because I don't make it.

He might be just stressed because guys handle things so differently..... and when they are stressed I found that they just shut down. That might be the problem. I would just give him space and if not let him kno he is stressing you out and needs to let you know what is going on before it hurts the baby. Smh MEN what are we supposed to do with them?! Lbvs!

See I'm not having a second shower and we only needed a few newborn clothes that I gave away to a friend of his before I got pregnant and I went out shopping the other day and he got mad at what I spent and made me return some of the items. And what was more embarrassing is it was his cousin that worked at the register when I returned some stuff.

Im nearly 27 weeks pregnant.  My husband loves our unborn child however he too doesn't really like to talk about names or buying anything. We haven't bought a single thing yet. I constantly keep pushing the subject and today he finally said next month we will gp buy the big things. Just give him time. Women like to do things straight away, men on the other hand are not the same. If I was you I would just leave it for a couple of weeks then try again. But choose the right time. I know theres no point in trying to talk to my husband about these things when he comes home from work because he just switches off....

That's what I been doing. Because I found a name I love and he won't even answer when I ask if he likes it. He missed my whole first pregnancy except the birth because of the military and I just wish he was gone again because I can't even look at bows online without him throwing a fit when I'm trying to find the perfect one for the hospital picture. That's the only one I will really look for a fantastic one and he just *******.

My fiance gets mad when I want to buy stuff for a little guy. This is our second boy and we planned it but every time I want to go shopping he gets mad and says we don't need anything cause we will get it all at the baby shower. We have big families and with our first we had multiples of almost everything on our registry. I have had the named picked out for some time now so we don't even talk about that anymore.

Ignore him then, if he doesn't wanna discuss it leave at that, pick the name yourself & when he questions why you didn't consult him about it remind him how mad he got when you tried. A lot of men suck for these things.

That's the thing I'm almost 22 weeks and we know what the baby is. Grant it we don't need much because we already have a 2 year old daughter and it's another girl but I have always tried to think of names and he said wait until we know what it is and it's like he's getting more mad when I try to discuss them.

Mines kinda like that too. But he says just wait till I'm further along to really look at stuff (even though it's really never too early lol).
