I’m pregnant and my bf asked me for more emotional support during 1st tri

Discussion

Am I wrong for feeling like that was completely selfish and tone deaf? I understand that he’s stressed and scared, I am too. My pregnancy was completely unexpected and threw us both for a loop. But somehow he has managed to make it all about himself and how having the baby will impact his future/goals/things he likes to do in his free time. Most recently, he told me that he needs a more supportive partner in this and that I’m not giving him the emotional support he needs right now - meanwhile, I’m over here growing his baby. Of course, I want to be there for him as much as I can during this. But, I don’t think he realizes the depth of change that I am going through as the mother and I do think it was a little tone deaf to ask that of me when hormones are in full swing and I already feel like he’s made everything about himself.
