Hey.. I'm 38 years old, and soon to be a dad for the first time.. I do have a bonus child thats 2.5 years old (love that litle rascal!).
But as I said, my girlfriend is pregnant, and I just can't wait for him/her to be born.. but the wait is all sorts of hell!!
I'm that kind of guy who need lots of body contact.. hugs when getting home from work.. cuddle in sofa in the evening and spooning while sleeping..
Before she got pregnant, she was all loving and careing.. now, I know it all hormones and that she can't help it, but now I feel like the most unwanted person in the world.. she gets angry for nothing.. for example, I used the wrong towel once after shower and she litteraly exploded. I cant get to close, because I smell, apparently.. she says I'm always in her way, and she tells me that quite angrily.. and I'm not allowed to even touch her half of the bed..
I constantly offer to help with everything, cleaning, dishes, laundry, shopping for grossery, taking the kid to preschool.. all of it.. and massages when she wants them, and she is gratefull for all that which helps alot. Before the pregnancy we both did all that more or less togheter.
When I try to talk about how I feel, she says she can have an abortion, so she will go back to normal.. and that hurt even more..
I know it will all be worth it in the end.. but how can I make it tollerable the time before birth?
