[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I’m sorry you’re feeling this way.  I’d strongly urge you to seek marriage counseling.  Having a kid really shakes up the dynamics of a marriage so it would be really good to work through your communication issues before the baby comes.  It’s very helpful to have someone neutral and trained in conflict resolution give you their perspective on your dynamic.  Every marriage takes work and I think putting in the time with a counselor is well worth it for you, and your upcoming baby.

Also, as someone who has been through two pregnancies with my very dedicated and loving partner, I can just say, men just don’t experience it the way we do.  They’re not constantly aware of the pregnancy the way we are.  [b]My partner told me he thought I was very “self absorbed” during the first pregnancy.  That one took a while to work through!  [/b]Yes, I was “self absorbed”—if by that you mean I was growing our child and hyper focused on that and all the other crap I had to navigate like mat leave and working out completion of work projects etc.

Good luck!  You guys can work this out if you’re committed to improving your relationship dynamics.
