A female age 51-59, anonymous writes:

My boyfriend treats me like a princess and we get along very good but ever since I've been pregnant he spends every spare minute out in the garage distant from me. He is 38 and I am 36 this is both our 1st child and both wanted this child. I am just feeling like he would rather play with his remote control car then spend quality time with me. My question is this normal?

BeSimplyTrue agony auntIt may be that as much as he wanted this baby, he's scared about it arriving and changing his life forever. (Which would show that he's dedicated to being a good father, which is a positive!) So maybe he's trying to get in as much "fun" as possible before the child arrives, kinda like how kids work so hard to have a fun summer vacation before the school year starts again. It's not fair for you, since you'd like to spend time with him having fun, too, but that's my theory. Have you tried talking to him about it?

Maybe he's worried that since your not married that the relationship isn't going where it needs to. He could be insecure.

Cerberus_Raphael agony auntIt's not normal. It being normal doesn't matter. He should be there for you right now! He should be taking care of you, doing stuff like making sure you get enough rest and things like that. Let him know that you're uncomfortable with the fact that he's starting to grow distant now, especially now!

I hope that helps.

RAINORFIRE agony auntyeah its normal... ive seen alot of guys go through that phase.. i have friends that got there girl prego and where all kool and excited at first then its like they never want to be home wanna hang out and chill when they are home we chill in the basement playing the box they ignore thye girl all day... personally i think pregnant women look funny if i had to live with one i would probably avoid her they walk funny and i dont kno it just disturbs me for some reason. i gues its because i start thinking how it that thing gonna get out... and it grosses me out..
