Father To Bees


For all you pregnant mummies out there, how is your partner treating you? I've always heard that the father is meant to be all nice and treat you like 'china'. I've been with my partner for nearly two years he's 'thrilled' I'm pregnant but all he does is go on his computer He does a IT course at college and when hes at home hes playing computer games >_< drives me mad. When i talk to him about it hes like 'I'm enjoying the free time i have left' While I'm still suffering from morning sickness...
I wouldn't mind if hes actually working on his IT course but hes not. Not only does he play games 24/7 when he actually pays me attention hes too rough with me. We've spoken about it loads of times but nothing works and now that I'm more emotional I want to leave him whenever he does hurt me. I love him and everything but hes just too rough, I don't want to leave him over it but one day i'm just gonna burst out and snap at him.
Anyone is or has been in this situation?
Sorry if this post is way too confusing

Sorry to hear you feel left out by OH

My OH has been great I suppose im just lucky..
He certainly doesnt treat me like 'china' i wouldnt want that anyway.
At the end of the day im pregnant not ill lol

He respects the changes in our relationship and the upcoming ones in our lives, i cant complain to be honest.

Im sure it must be hard for the men aswell, they dont quite understand how we are feeling and what we expect from them at this important time. Maybe what you need to do IS expload and let him no exactly how you feel..?

My OH is constantly on the pc too (warcraft!) so I know how you feel. He has the same excuse - the time he has left, but I doubt he'll cut out gaming after the baby's born.

I like playing games too but he's on ALL the time and I do get fed up with him and tell him to spend more time with me, which he does for a bit at least. Just alot of the time I can't be bothered doing anything anyway cos of the tiredness, lol, I just want him to show more interest and talk to me about the baby cos it's all I can think about!! Though I know he's excited too cos he keeps putting his head on my belly and being all happy!!

my bf just loves his ps3 & football, all boys love their games. he doesnt give me any more attention than he did before we found out i was pregnant. hes not happy about me having the baby and never wants to talk about it. he never brings it up and acts like everything is normal and im not pregnant..

Yes, I have been in a similar situation. Sorry to say, the outcome was we broke up. But those were under different circumstances. He was an asshole! And involved with drugs + gangs, so that makes the situation a little different than yours. Sorry your OH is being that way, it takes men a little longer to get the idea in their heads that they are going to be a daddy.

My oh does this. when he gets hyper (which is alot due to slight ADHD) he can get quite rough, doemean to be. but still. we have talked about it too, but he doesnt really listen. i undetstand what you mean about it making you want to leave him but not want to aswell. my oh only REALLY realises what he's been doing when i do explode at him or burst into tears (which isnt often coz its so big)

i think maybe just let your emotions flow and let him see how you are really feeling. and then after that talk. try and compromise. hope you feel better soon

my boyfreind was really happy when i told him i was pregnant, he pretty much cried with happiness.
he tries to be nice and make me feel good about getting so huge by saying silly things like yummy mummy etc lol

and he kisses my belly in the morning and pretends to have conversations with the baby through my belly

but the bigger i get i think the more scared he is of my bump and hurting me.





(but as for computers, my boyfreind doesnt know the password on the pc lol)
