I am now 6 weeks pregnant, and very emotional. It was unplanned, but we both decided to keep it. Since I have gotten pregnant, my boyfriend has gone crazy! He’s going out alot more and not spending any time with me. He says I cry and act sick to get attention, and thats not the case at all. I’m pregnant for godness sake! I have been really sick with upset stomach the past 2 weeks and can’t get my boyfriend to understand that these are symptoms of pregnancy!
All men are different, you have to find a way to get through to him. If he doesn’t read, don’t throw a book of "what to expect when you are expecting". Try talking to him about the hormones and how that affects you.
My husband was thrilled when I had morning sickness days before I took the test. Now, he makes me breakfast and sometimes dinner every day. He does get tired of the face I make whenever I feel sick, but he makes me feel better by hugging me or kissing me.
Sounds to me like he thinks just because you are carrying the child, it is your problem and that is not true. Tell him that it’s not that You are pregnant, you are Both pregnant. It took the both of you to make the baby, it will take the 2 or you to take care of it even before it’s born. He has to know that it is a partnership and you didn’t ask for the morning sickness, or headaches, or anything. That all you are asking for is his support and you do not want to go through this alone.
Maybe when you are alone you can casually say that you read something that is very interesting and that the baby is the size of a sesame seed or that at this point, the heartbeat is beating primatively. Something to make him see that there is a living being inside of you and it needs love and care.
I am 19 years old and I don’t have a boyfriend, although I would like one. Problem is, the college I go to is a private all girls school. I’d love to meet someone that I could just hang out with, but the job I have doesn’t really have young people there, and it doesn’t give me the opportunity to meet boys my age. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks.
Since you haven’t been meeting people in the places you usually go to, try going out of your comfort zone. Try to meet new people and get to know them until you find someone who you really click with. I know that you feel like you want to have someone right now, but that shouldn’t be the main thing on your mind. After all, you shouldn’t get a boyfriend just for the sake of getting one — you should really like a person first and he should really like you, too. And the only way you’ll get that mutual feeling is if you allow yourself to get to know people and allow them to get to know you too. So be yourself, but be yourself at your very best. Then sooner or later, you’ll be likely to find someone you get along with. Once you find someone like that, don’t miss the chance of going out with him and seeing how it works out.
Good luck!
