Hey everyone. I'm hoping someone can help me out here.
Myself and my girlfriend decided we were going to try and get pregnant. We had quite a bit of discussion about it before trying and decided we were both ready. The day before Thanksgiving we got our positive results and were both beyond happy and excited for the good news.
Shortly after the good news, it seemed like things took a turn for the worst. She seemed more distant from me, little to no emotion or affection, and always on the phone. I would mention these things in a calm manner and she would get defensive and I would just drop the subject to avoid fighting.
A few weeks later these issues continued and seemed to get worse and we began fighting about these things. One day she up and left the house and told me that we can't be together right now. I was broken.
Since this happened we have still talked and continue to do so till today. She still says she loves me and wants me in her life and the babies life. We still show each other cute baby clothes we find and funny pictures just like earlier in our relationship. She admits she misses me and wants me to come back home and be with her, but she's scared things will go right back to fighting and causing stress for all of us.
I've tried reassuring her that this won't happen and that I realized I was out of line with the way I acted at times and I didn't take into consideration how she is feeling and what she is going through with the pregnancy.
In our relationship we've talked about everything. Planned a future together, talked about marriage, having a family, etc.
I feel like she is "the one". She brings out the best in me and makes me a better person. I'd do anything for her at a moment's notice without thinking twice and I want to be there with her during all this. It's our first child and we are both still young ( Early to mid 20s). I want to be the best boyfriend and father I can be, but it feels like she doesn't trust me that things will be different.
What do I do?
Is it just the hormones taking a toll on her or am I up the creek without a paddle?
Any advice from the guys and women out there would be great. I'm going crazy. I just want to be home with her.
