Need advice: so last night I came home from a family's house & me & my fiance had a heart to heart talk! he told he hasn't been happy for a long time and that's why he's never home with me. I've been asking him the past couple weeks why he hasn't spent time with me or wanted to spend any time with me. I asked all the time if he was happy. he kept telling me he was... but tonight he finally told me he hasnt been happy for idk how long and when I said I've asked you if you were happy you said yes. so which is it? he said I just didn't know how to tell you and I didn't want to hurt you!! well you lied to my face for how long ??? he said a pretty long time. I'm a month away with giving birth to our daughter should I stay or should I go back home? here's the thing he said just because I'm not happy doesn't mean I'm giving up on us? I still love you..... laying in bed he asked if I was gonna be ok? I said I half to be now! your not happy!! 😢😢 mommy's please help! would you still stay and try to work things out with someone that has lied to your face? or go back home to your parents knowing you have a loving home ?? decisions
@rockysmommy, you gave the best advice! No need for me to say anything extra @ellasmommy . Baby girl is reality in relationships you are going to have peaks and valleys. You happen to be going through a valley right now as @rockysmommy had advise. This is the time your dedication to your relationship should kick in high gear for real this is what relationships are made from. You got this. Just heed the great advice you were just given.
Tell him exactly how you feel. You don't seem happy either because the change in things and he needs to take your feelings into consideration also. You're growing his baby inside you, you're not going to be the perfect housewife for him.
@rockysmommy, its very hard cause there are days where I have a ball of energy and wanna clean the whole entire house and then all the sudden not do anything for a couple days in a row. I get offended when he's like it must be nice to lay around and do nothing and sleep all day. if I could go back to work I would. if I could do a lot of things I would be recently with only having a month left I have had no enegry and having contractions doesn't help my situation either!! I don't want to give up because it shows that I care enough to not let him walk away. but the same time I can't make someone stay if their not happy. you can be not happy and still love someone and not be with them. I thought about going and seeing a counsler but didn't know how that would work. I do admit my faults and that's what I told him last night was that I do own up to everything I have ever done. but same time I can't be the only one. I've been at the house waiting to see him and then he leaves to go to his friends house to work on the race car. I know that's something he loves to do and that's his hobby. but I thought spending at least one day with me wouldn't kill him. I mean I have messages proving that I had to literally beg him to go with me to my child birth classes. it sucks. I just wish I knew what to do and what the right thing to do is so I had peace at mind.
I understand he didn't know how to tell me that he was unhappy. I mean clearly he does care for me. but the same note if your not happy I'm not gonna make you stay with me. I'm gonna stay but its a awkward situation to be in because Its a whole new ball game! idk I have not slept at all. And when he wanted to head to bed he asked me to come along and cuddle with him. my mind is going million directions at once. I don't know which way to turn. 😒
@ellasmommy, I haven't been able to get a job since before 20 weeks and I go to school full time plus I'm very lazy and exhausted so I barely clean the house and it puts a toll on my relationship and I hate it. My boyfriend is also the only one paying the bills and buying groceries and he cleaned our kitchen the other day. I can see he's slightly unhappy about it because I'm always exhausted and don't want to do anything but I try to be the best and I've stepped up my game. Y'all definitely seem to need time together he shouldn't be staying away all the time. You need to tell him how you feel about him being gone because him being gone won't make things better, just worse. But just imagine explaining to your daughter that the reason her mom and dad aren't together is because you let a little unhappiness get between you :( you're both human you're not going to stay happy all the time and he's probably going through crazy emotions along with you. If he says he still loves you, don't give up. Try going on dates again even a little picnic because you have to be careful. Go do things together instead of him leaving all day or y'all staying in the house. Get all dolled up and go on a cute inexpensive date and have fun. You'd be surprised how the little things can make it all better. If it doesn't get better, then go back to your parents where it's a safe loving environment. But don't give up immediately. I don't know who you or him are but I have faith in you.
It's not like he lied about going out or something like that, he just didn't know how to say it because he cares about you. I'd stay and try to work it out! If it doesn't, at least try and end it on a good note, for your baby!
If you can, maybe some marriage counseling would be good. Find the problem and fix it then strengthen your relationship. That's such a crappy position to be in, I hope things work out!
see here's the thing couple months ago we stopped having sex all together and spending time together 24/7 then when I got closer to my due date things changed! And I've been asking if everything has been alright. I've been put on bed rest since I've been 28 weeks pregnant due to having her try to come early and I'm now 34 weeks along. he said I know I'm not the best person to talk to right now but I can promise you I still love you and I didn't say I was giving up on us. its stressful extremely when your the one that has to pay all the bills. I understand that. I've tried to let the doctor let me go back to work and they won't because she wants to come now! I feel bad because I use to work all the time 24/7 but he's like since you have all this free time its like you don't know what to do with it. yes your right idk. but I've been hurt in the past by my ex I lost my son too him and he cheated on me. so every since then I couldn't afford getting hurt and look where I'm at now! I just don't understand how he's unhappy but doesn't want to give up. should I just let him continue to do the things I don't agree with and never let him be home let him keep doing whatever!?? is the real question. it isn't about my feelings anymore I have a daughter due in a month I gotta worry about @rockysmommy
Well i would personally stay and work things out. You can always spark a fire to an old flame. Pregnancy wears on you and him both. The men have to deal with the mood swings and stress we go through and it wears them out. Don't give up on something over him trying to protect your feelings. Maybe he's just confused. I know it hurts he lied, but at least it's not over something worse than being unhappy. After that baby is born, he might completely change or even maybe before. Try doing things to renew your relationship between each other. Is there anything you used to do that you don't anymore?
@baby6aryn, thank you ☺️ I just don't want to see someone give up on something they truly care about.
