Feeling isolated and unloved by my partner at 7 months pregnant. We sleep in separate rooms and don’t find each other attractive - I work from home all day and feeling extremely isolated but can’t go to work either as I’m heavily pregnant and uncomfortable. Just venting - thanks for reading.

Just wanted to add... I'm here if you feel you need to talk to anyone!

I think we started talking...and then you went away. If you need to vent out...feel free to DM. Happy to hear you out! Tc.

Stay strong, this behaviour is not justified at all. Have you tried talking to your partner?

That is really tough so my heart goes out to you. Why not go into his room and sleep there. Let him be the one to chase you out or something. As others have alluded. He may be depressed or stressed but doesn’t know how to manage it. Having children is a very stressful time in a marriage. As you’re not feeling loved he may too and doesn’t know how to fix it. I’m a guy and been married over 15 years. This can be temporary so don’t think the marriage is doomed or any thing like that. Being married requires a LOT of patience and love even when you don’t feel like.

Omg I'm so sorry you're going through this. How and when did you start sleeping in separate rooms? Is this a planned pregnancy and are you planning on raising the child together? Sorry maybe these questions are too person for the main thread but I figured maybe you are just looking to vent/lay it all out with the anonymity. This close to delivering the baby, I would say something needs to change quick because you are going to need help after the baby is born. I can't imagine going through that totally alone (with a partner who is still technically around)

2nd this. Have you talked to your partner about how you’re feeling. I’m so sorry you’re going through this in your last trimester, or at all really. Can you talk to someone outside of your husband for support/do you have a good support network? I’m wishing you a super quick and easy delivery and healing for your marriage. ✨

Sorry to hear. Your husband is probably disliked at work too. He may feel under pressure to earn. Have you had s deep hearted conversation?

He might also be highly anxious about the baby. Anxiety can come out or present as behavioral too (not only internal), like chip on the shoulder, preoccupation agitation, etc.

That’s not cool. I’m 5 months pregnant and feeling lovingly supported by my husband and it’s so important.

Did this start recently? Or you had issues prior to pregnancy?

Feel free to DM me to chat

That sounds tough. Although you don’t find each other attractive, are you able to connect in other ways, or at least figure out a way to coparent before you decide your next steps?

Have u tried explaining how you feel to him? This isn’t a good way to feel and changes need to be made.

Did you have any luck? Just checking...DM if you want to chat!
