well heres the scenario....basically im waiting to miscarry, been home all week feeling shit!
after telling my fella how depressed i feel, guess what he does, arranges a night out with his pals!! after i told him i thought it a little considerate, cant he just wait for everything to be over...he still goes out!! im so angry... feel completely hurt, its not like i can go anywhere or do anything right now.

i considering ending it.... im so upset and feel very lonely and depressed.
 
AWww, hun. Ok, I don't know the history of this relationship so I'm gonna take it simply on face value. YOur gonna be hurt and heartbroken over your ms and so prob not thinking with the right parts of your heart. He is prob hurt to and he is just dealing with it by going out for a drink.
It is a bit inconsiderate he's gone out witout thinking of you BUT he may not know how to deal with it, he may be completely devastated as well hu8nni. All I know is mc's affect the men more than we imagine, going on past exp. I would levae it, chill out yourself, let him go out. allow time to grieve and invite a mate round or ring a mate up. Then tomorrow, when he's back and your a bit calmer if thats poss, talk to him tell him how upset it made you nd that you both need to talk abt the loss in order to overcome.

HUGE HUGS HUNNI PIE, and best of luck. xxxxx
 
Im so sad, we spoke earlier and i expressed im not trying to stop him. just think its appropriate to wait until everything has happened. Im sooo angry at how selfish he is right now. We spoke about the baby and he got nasty and said all im interested in is the baby not me and him, i just said i want to grieve properly so im sorry i cant be all smiles for his sake.
I didnt want a row, thats the last thing, i just wanted to tell him how i felt.Selfish Selfish selfish
 
Hi Dizzy,

I am sorry for your loss :hug: and also sorry you are having to go through relationship problems aswell.

Im afraid only you will know the answer to whether you leave him or not.
Was he very excited about becoming a dad?? Where you happy before this all happened??

Thinking of you.

:hug:

hi there, in so sorry hon, i don't no what to say and couldn't read and run. i don't think your selfish at all and i would feel the same as u about my OH going out. sending huge hugs to you :hug::hug::hug:
 
well it was a surprise but once we got our heads around it we were both excited. me more so than him i think, i just feel very hurt like hes not that fussed, hes not grieving hes out with all his mates.

We started making plans and started saving and hes already dipping into that ridiculously.
he says im tarnishing us and being unreasonable... what can i say, i feel hurt, empty like iv lost everything
 
Hey hun. Sorry for your loss :hugs:. If it's any consilation my DH and I are greiving at different paces too. He delt with things right away when we found out and I've only just begun to let myself deal. That said... I just want you to remember that everyone deals with loss in different ways. Try to give him some space to deal in his own way, and support him in it, while still being open with each other. If he wasn't a horrible guy before then chances are that he's just carrying on the only way he knows how. I know its tough and it does feel horribly lonely at times, but I promise things will get easier.
I'll keep you in my thoughts and here if you need me. Lots of :hugs:

thank you.

its hard as i know its just him being selfish, i dont think hes grieving, i think he did that last weekend. i have tried to understand, i dont see how going out is supporting one another, i thought bad things would pull us together not tear us apart.

sorry for the moan.
 
Its okay to moan. That's what this board is for, moan, scream, cry or just throw plates...
:hugs:

i dont no what to suggest babe, my fella really wasnt coping with the loss of our baby he was just cold and always shouting at me, so i pushed him i made him made rele pushed him 2 the brink that he had no choice but 2 break down the barriers.

i think you need 2 sit down and have a serious chat with him let him no how you feel. if he still responds like he doesnt care maybe u shud go stay witha friend or family have time appart.
 
I am sorry for your loss hun. Have you talked to your oh about this and told him how his actions have made you feel? The key to getting through this is talking and communicating with each other, you need to tell each other how you feel. It is too difficult to guess what he is thinking and feeling and you will drive yourself mad trying to work it out. Like some one else said he may be grieving but coping in his own way and you won't know uinless you discuss it hun. Massive :hug: and I hope you sort it out xxx
 
Hello: first of all I am so sorry for your loss, and sending you :hug: and more :hug:.
I am in no way excusing your OH's behaviour, as I think he is being really selfish, BUT: just wanted to let you know about how my hubby reacted. At the hospital when I found out my baby was dead he just got really cross with me for being hysterical, and the crosser he got, the worse I got. That night, he just drank plenty and went to bed. I was up all night crying, wondering what the hell he was playing at. The next day he told me that there was no way we were ever trying again for another baby. We had a huge row, and I told him that we were getting a divorce. It was truely awful. I ended up begging my parents to come and get me and take me home with them.
However: after a couple of days all was much calmer. He apologised for how he'd been and said that he just didn't know how to deal with it all. I now understand that his reaction was just his way of dealing with things. He knows that he was awful to me, but I do really appreciate that he just dealt with it in a different way from me. We are now probably even closer than we were before the MC, and TTC again.
I do think that your OH going out to the pub is appalling behaviour, and I wish I could be there to give you a hug, but do not make any decisions in the immediate aftermath of this. Your hormones are making you feel rotten, as well as the emotional side of having lost your little one. Give yourself some time to grieve and then see how you are feeling about him, and how he is being with you. I would be into divorce proceedings by now if I had acted on how I felt just after my loss. Do you have any friends or relatives who can support you through these first few difficult days? My Mum was just great.

Hey - I'm really sorry to hear how hurt and upset you are (completely allowed and completely understandable!!) Forgive the essay but it MAY help?
I thought something I was told by a friend of mine might help a little bit. I was telling her how, although my oh is lovely and has been great, he went back to work the very next day, and had to be told to come home by the friends I work with (2 of them knew). He is usually SO great about everything and he still is, I was completely gobsmacked by how insensitive I thought he was being - like he wasn't grieving or unhappy at all. I had to REALLY sit him down and say to him - listen, this is what it's like for me, this is how I feel. HE SO DIDN'T GET IT, he sort of did once I explained, but not so much he reacted I guess how I would like him to react. Apparently though, my friend has said that when she sees him at work, talks to him etc he IS really upset, but he's said "I have to be strong for her, I can't just sit at home upset because I physically can't do it I need to just carry on with life, I just don't know what I can do to help her, so I'm giving her room" ER - the LAST thing I want!!!
Anyway, she told me that she had this happen to her a year ago. A few days after her procedure in hospital she was sitting at home, upset and in pain and her oh (much like yours) went out, got SMASHED and came home at four in the morning. They never even really talked about stuff before or after that either and she was livid. Because of what's happened to me, she's felt able to approach him and say "that was selfish, insensitive, WHY?" he said that at the time, he simply could not sit and watch her upset he couldn't put it right, it made him feel useless and whilst he understands now that he prob shouldn't have done it and how horrible it must have been for her, that he didn't mean to hurt her at the time and it was his way of dealing with it...
whilst I REALLY don't want to push aside how obviously hurt and grieving you are - some men are USELESS at all this. My oh, is wondefully sensitive, caring and lovely usually and even I have been shocked at how "cold" he's being - I've actually had to really bite my lip and understand (having been told by friends) that we need to (a little bit) allow them their selfishness and dealing with it to. I really hope that doesn't upset or offend you. Just that, I get where you're coming from and the women on this forum have been a rock in a way that my oh just isn't and, it looks like, cannot be... I think they just don't feel things or deal with things in the same way we do and that can be very very hurtful.
Have you tried telling him how it's making you feel by sitting him down and just saying: look, we need to look out for each other, you've had your drinking to help block it out but I need a bit of help here? I would put money on the fact he GENUINELY had NO IDEA at all (god knows how men work, honestly) that his actions were doing this to you... (not that it's forgiveable, just somewhere to start from perhaps)
If you need to talk, let me know. I've almost had to put all my feelings aside and get on with things because of how 'together' my oh is being and the fact I cannot talk to my family and they feel I should be 'smiling'. I really hope you're ok and sending lots of love xxxxx
 
I know it's gonna sound bad - but maybe it's just his way of coping?
 
I am so sorry for your loss hun sending you :hugs::hugs::hug::hugs::hugs: With regards to your OH..... looking at it from a woman's point of view who has recently gone through a m/c of her 1st pregnancy I do think he is being selfish, unreasonable and not understanding in the slightest how this is affecting you........I believe men are visual creatures and unless they can see a huge baby bump and feel the little one kicking its not 100% real as it is your body that was pregnant and had already started to feel the effects of pregnancy we are always going to be more affected by the loss then our OH is. My OH actually said to me before I had the m/c that he found it hard to believe that I could be so affected as I wasn't that far gone!!! I was 7+4 when the m/c started. I think you need to be as calm as you can be before having a chat with him and, if he really can't see how the m/c and how he has been acting has affected you then maybe you should spend a few days apart so both of you can get your heads together and sort your own feelings out without the other one being there to make things worse. I have my fingers crossed for you hun. Let us know how things go as, we are all thinking of you.
 
so sorry to hear you had a m/c and that you are dealing with an insensitive oh.
My oh didn't understand my m/c and on a number of occasions I had to S.P.E.L.L. it out to him (but he was dealing with other issues). He said a number of insensitive things and went out with his mates, it really upset me at the time but I figured it was his way of dealing with it.
Tell him how this is affecting you and hopefully the penny will drop and he'll be there for you.:hugs::hugs::hugs:
Time is a healer.
 
I am so sorry for your loss.

We had a MMC in Jan and me and Hubby were grieving at different paces. He dealt with it silently and threw himself into his work. I sobbed for days and weeks on end usually looking into the bottom of an empty wine bottle.

We had a very difficult time in our marriage a few months after but we have got through it and are hoping for our 2nd BFP very soon.

Its a tough time unfortuantely and I'll keep you in my thoughts. I hoe you get through it together.
 
I'm so sorry for your loss hun :hugs:
But i think i agree with Mynxie that it is his way of coping, i will bet you anything that him going out is not him just living it up, he will be with his friends which is what everyone needs at a time like this

When i suffered my loss i though exactly the same as you that he couldn't give a toss but it wasn't until a couple of weeks later i found out he was just being strong for me but broke down to his mate who he went for a drink with
 
I know it's gonna sound bad - but maybe it's just his way of coping?
Exactly what I was going to say.

Give him time as well.. everyone copes in different ways. Don't make him feel guilty for going out and maybe have a chat with him when you can.

Im really sorry to hear of your loss and hope that you both get through it ok.:hugs:
