well he's realizing that his life is about to change forever, and in a way he could be blaming you for it or berating himself for getting you pregnant. this is more likely if the pregnancy was an accident, and if he only stayed with you because of it. Not knowing more about your relationship, this is about all I can think of to explain his behavior.

some men become much happier and more relaxed once the baby actually arrives and has grown up a bit to be interactive with them. But this can also usher in a new era of problems in the relationship with the partner, babies bring joy but also relationship problems that didn't exist before or worsen existing relationship problems, so you should try to communicate with him.

He's probably just realised the enormity of the situation. The fact he will be a dad very soon and all the responsibility.You have only lived together 3 weeks which is probably when it all sunk in.

Try and talk to him, find out whats wrong, he may just be frightened - he definately needs to treat you better than the hired help if your going to be a couple with a child, a family.

So instead of making his lunch/coffee/dinner.. talk

Hey,

Maybe he´s a little scared about the fact he´s going to be a dad, or maybe somethings changed for him, he might just be tired,stressed out, or worried after the baby is born that things wont be the same between you two, try talk to him and tell him how you feel, maybe he´ll tell you what he´s feeling and you can then sort it out.

Good luck and congratulations on the baby boy :) x
