My husband is like "why do guys cry when the baby comes out? I won't" I'm like well when it's your own it's different, he's like "so I'm not gonna cry about it" sometimes I feel like he doesn't even care about anything, he never wants to buy her anything, which we have been low on money but still.. He has put his hand on my belly one time to see if he could feel her move. I think he'll be a good daddy but I'm getting a little worried that he'll act this way when she's here and act like he doesn't want anything to do with her. But some days he's fine, and he'll talk about her with me. Like one day we was talking about cars and he was like "you'll have to be careful, my backbone will be in there" so idk... It's really starting to irritate me how he acts sometimes 😔
@keithallen, he has rubbed lotion on me one time and every time I ask him he's like I'm too tired, so I just do it myself. @lilybilly I believe he is a little bit nervous, and trying to act a little bit too tough😡😡 @mariahabigael I agreeee ugh!
Maybe ask him to rub lotion or something on your belly. A lot of guys feel disconnected from the pregnancy and don't know how to act about it. My boyfriend didn't really talk about it much at first unless I brought it up but he's all touchy feeley now lol
My dad said that for men it doesn't become real until he/she is actually here. Hopefully he gets better :)
Thanks girls. That makes me feel some better. He's a great husband, and the other day somebody asked him if he's excited and he said "I'm excited to work more to get them what they want and make them both happy" lol. He doesn't show his emotions at all and it's so annoying! @mothernature @amirxalyak @txkitten83 @hatbearsmomma @dontberidiculous @santistevanmommie @nanamariexmarchgirl
my fiancé was the same way until recently and the first thing to buy her was newborn baby diapers and baby wipes. that was the first time he was into buying anything for the baby and it made me happy. men don't feel as connected as us mothers would sometimes.
My husband said he felt no bond to our daughter whatsoever when she was in my tummy. He didn't bond with her until she was born. He was the first to hold her and touch her and calm her and since that night he's been in love with her
Men don't bond with the baby until they see it. The chances that he will cry are pretty high. Even if he thinks he won't. Men just handle things differently and this change is a huge one.
A lot of guys just don't know how to express there feelings, and sometimes they don't wanna seem like there weak (by crying and showing emotions.) idk I kind of felt like my husband was the same way in the beginning but now we only have 6 days left and that's all he talks about and he's more involved etc. he made sure we have everything we needed and all that, sometimes it just takes time for them to realize what's really happening! Lol
Men act so much differently than women. Women pretty much live off emotions where men really don't show there's if any. The father of my children said the same thing acting all tough even headed to the hospital he said "this will be fun" being a smart as but girl let me tell you the second our baby came out and the Dr had him cut the cord he was balling like a baby! I had never seen that man cry until that moment. Hang in there it will get better
My boyfriend was the same. He got better as I got bigger. And the closer I am to my due date now, he is completely more interactive with my stomach. Rubbing it and everything. Just give him some time.
Hmm idk then lol, may just not know how to feel or be a little intimidated. I just walk over and hand coconut oil to my SO and pull up my shirt I'm like cmon I don't want stretch marks lol
