writes:My partner and I have been together for just over 3 years. We are expecting our first baby in march. We had some problems concieving our baby so it is very precious to us . My partner works away all week and comes home for the weekend. The last 3 weekends he has had to work so has not been home. He came home yesterday and now wants to go out with his friends tonight, I feel really upset as we have not seen each other for 3 weeks. I feel he has changed a little and am worried that maybe he is scared of the changes that are happening in our lives. I know he is happy about the baby and excited, but something does not seem right. Before I was pregnant he would not have gone out if he had not seen me for 3 weeks. Can anyone help me try and understand what could be wrong and why he would rather go out than spend time with me.

Hi there. Perhaps he is worrying about how his life will change once your baby is born next March.
He couldn't help but wonder how things will be then, anyone would.
There are things to consider, like finances, one less wage coming in each week.
As well as that, he is no doubt feeling that he will lose a lot of his freedom he currently has.
When he does come to see you, perhaps you need to fully discuss with him, what your expectations of the relationship will be once your baby is born.
There are many things for both of you to think about, so having a heart to heart would be a great idea.
Don't leave it any longer to do this - the sooner the better.
