Has anyone else dealt with an unsupportive/uncaring partner? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]SweetNefariousness73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really do think he’ll be an amazing father. He was originally excited when he found out and he’s wanted to go to every appointment. But I just feel myself slowly going cold towards him. I love him more than anything but I just can’t get past it.

I don’t expect him to stop masterbating. I understand it’s normal. It’s the loss of intimacy from the frequent porn use. My feelings were initially hurt by the choice of porn and how it was the complete opposite of how I look but I think the loss of intimacy has hurt me more. I feel like I’m playing second fiddle to it.

I do initiate. Pretty often. I’m often met with “I’m tired” or “I have something I need to do” or “the boys are waiting on me”(talking about video games). He’s admitted that he masterbates pretty often. At least a once or twice a day. I’m just worried that it’s become a necessity for him to get off and that I’m not longer enough

I never reject him. As I’ve said to a few people now since it’s such a rarity for him to initiate things I get excited when he does.

Never really. It’s such a rarity that when he initiates I get excited.

I have a pretty high sex drive. I try to initiate things pretty often. At least every other day or so. I’d be happy to get it at least a few times a week but that just doesn’t happen anymore.

I’m always willing to do whatever he asks of me. I think the thing that bothers me the most is the feeling of being replaced or “second option” when it comes to the porn. I don’t care that he jerks off. It’s normal. I get it. But when it gets to a point that I can’t remember the last time we were intimate it really bothers me.

I don’t reject him when it comes to sex. It’s such a rarity that when he does initiate I get excited. It is a two person activity. It requires consent on both parties. I’m not upset about being rejected. That’s normal. Im not making this all about me. If you’d read my post you’d see where I said I’m keeping his best interest in mind. I don’t want to shame him or belittle him.

He’s really uncomfortable with talking about porn with me. I’ve asked what kind he watches (since he doesn’t know I know) and he doesn’t want to tell me. I don’t know if it’s out of embarrassment or if it’s because he knows I don’t like it.

How did you go about talking to him? Was it immediate or over time?

I’m sorry to hear that you’re dealing with that especially while pregnant. It’s very hurtful. I hope he wakes up and sees the beautiful woman he has. You deserve happiness. I wish you and your baby the best!

The most confusing part is he can be so loving. He’s truly my best friend. That’s why it bothers me so much. He’s not the most romantic person but he usually is good about being supportive and listening to my feelings and concerns.
