Any ideas?

posted 10th Aug '12
I am currently 13 wks 2 days with baby #2 and it's not a great situation but also a blessing at the same time. My first DS was with my (now ex) husband of 4 years so that wasn't a negative experience at all. This time around however, I did something WAY out of character one night with a friend whom I've known since our days in preschool (we grew up together obviously). Basically, when I told him the news he said he was excited BUT, his actions are proving differently. I'll occasionally give him updates on how things are progressing & during the conversations seems to be interested but afterwards, I'll go week to week(S) without any interaction with him. My question is I guess, should I continue to try to involve him or just stop? I gave him the option to 'walk away & never acknowledge' from day one but said that he wasn't going to do that. I'm just not wanting to look like a crazy person I guess lol

Maybe he's just having trouble wrapping his head around the situation.
This woman he's known since childhood is now carrying his baby, that's some deep stuff there.

Give him some time, keep giving little updates every so often, and just see what he does. Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.
Good luck, hun.

If it was me I would probably just stop telling them anything. If they wanted to know they could try to get information. But I would wind up feeling like I was wasting my time. That's just how I would feel, guys are different though they may not be so super interested in things going on with pregnancy. My SO was pretty blah for a while every time I said something about the doctors or what the baby's doing now or anything.

Thanks! I'm just clueless as to what I should be doing lol. He says one thing but acts another way. I've point blank told him also that it's no problem if he doesn't want to be involved in any way because I am capable of doing this on my own but he claims he doesn't want it to be that way. It would just be easier & less stressful for me to know one way or another! Plus, I one of those "all-in or all-out" people lol. I don't like guessing games
