Hi, is anyone else having the problem that their partner absolutely refuses to admit that things have changes and some help every now and then would be great?
We both work full time but I still get home (later than him) have to clean the house, do the laundry, cook dinner, clean up after dinner, feed the dogs etc. Etc.
He even rolls his eyes if I ask him to help carry the 16kg bags of dog food in from tue car and makes out I am just "milking" the being pregnant card for all its worth!!
I am not allowed to complain I feel sick or my back hurts or about the nosebleeds I get as he says I am making out I am the only woman who has ever been pregnant!!

Yeah my partner was like that.. Also told me i wasn't allowed to kick his mate out to have a nursery!! We planned this pregnancy as well so one night i couldn't take it anymore and left him. Moved in withmy dad, moved all my furniture and property out and into storage and well.. Hasn't he realised how much work i actually did! Now he wants to move to a suburb closer to my dad, wants to buy all the nursery stuff, says he can't live without me and begs me to come back. Some men don't know what they have until it's gone. He sounds like he is being a pig.

Stop all that you're doing dont cook dont clean dont lug heavy groceries and let him see how far that gets him I bet that he will step up to the plate when the household falls apart while he sits on his lazy butt sometimes we have to show them not tell them actions or lack there of speak louder than words!

It wouldn't bug me as much if he would just make a tiny bit of effort. I don't mean I am unable to do things but just offer to wash up after dinner or put aload of laundry on once in a while.

I'm sorry you're going through this when you obviously need more help. I went through it for a couple of months of months with my husband so I know it's hurtful. I eventually moved in with my parents to show him I was serious about him changing (I was also high risk in the beginning). All I can say is out was an act of God because now he does EVERYTHING & is more considerate than what I was praying for. Praying for you mommy
