The story

Im 8 months pregnant and since then I have always been feeling like my husband is cheating on me. I wanted to talk to him about it but why then it feels like it wont change anything? I wanted to confront him but then whenever it crosses my mind it feels like I will just be wasting my time bec. I cant ask him to be faithful and loyal if in the first place he is really not that kind of person? He may be married to me but it feels like it is not me to whom he will be contented...

Honestly, if you don't trust your partner enough to discuss your concerns, especially when you're carrying their child, that's a problem in itself 😕 communication is key to any relationship's survival!

have you considered couples therapy?

sounds like you're in a tough spot, especially with the baby on the way. trust is essential, but you know that; maybe it’s worth having a heart-to-heart when emotions aren't running high, ya know? sometimes clearing the air can lead to unexpected solutions or at least peace of mind ✨

Focus less on him and more on what you want. Do you want a loyal partner? Then you deserve one. Do you want him regardless of what he does? Then find ways to not be upset about it. Do you want to talk to him about it and see what happens? Go ahead. Do you want to just pack up and leave to find better for yourself and your baby? Start buying boxes.


These are all simplifications but the ultimate fact is that you can't force people to do things. You can't force your husband to be faithful. The only person you're in control of is yourself. So decide how you feel before you talk to him. If he did cheat, what do YOU want? If he refuses to talk about it or lies, how would YOU like to react? If he didn't cheat but you still feel insecure, why do YOU not feel full trust in this situation? Focus on self respect, making yourself happy with your actions, and creating the best future for you and your child.

It's completely understandable to feel this way, especially when you're in such a vulnerable state; being pregnant can amplify emotions and doubts. From my experience, people tend to show their true colors over time, so trust your instincts but also consider having an honest conversation with him. If he's truly the type who's not content with what he has, it might be better to know now rather than later. It's frustrating and mentally exhausting to live in uncertainty and suspicion constantly... confrontation might seem futile but the clarity you could get from it is invaluable; perhaps it's worth at least attempting for that peace of mind??? My cousin went through something similar and once she faced it head-on, she either resolved her doubts or got the closure she needed to move forward. Just make sure you're looking out for yourself and your baby first!!!

I'm sorry you're going through this stress, especially during such an important time in your life. It's tough when trust issues bubble up... especially with those pregnancy hormones going mad! Have you thought about voicing these feelings to him? Sometimes just expressing your worries might clear the air or at least give you clarity on his intentions. It's vital to take care of your mental wellness, too; you deserve peace and clarity as you step into motherhood. Whatever comes out of it, remember to prioritize what’s best for both you and your baby! ❤️

It sounds like you're carrying a lot on your shoulders, and I can only imagine how heavy that must feel. Trust is fundamental, but it can wobble at times; what truly matters is how you rebuild it stronger each time. Sometimes our minds play tricks on us when we're feeling vulnerable: try to sift through those emotions carefully, and give yourselves a chance to reconnect intimately and openly. Stay hopeful!

Hey sweetie, hope your health is doing alright. It must be a stressful situation, especially that late in the pregnancy. If I were you I would set your husband down for a talk about your anxiety and how you’re feeling. I would ask to see trough his phone or other things that could confirm the cheating, and clarify that it’s just to put your mind at ease if he’s not cheating. Hormones and stress could cloud our judgment, so don’t feel ashamed if it was nothing.


If the cheating is confirmed, I would think of what would be best for you and your future child, and for your mental state. Always put yourself first and remember you deserve the world.


If he refuse to ease your worries or tries to brush you off, I would reconsider if this is someone you want to spend the rest of your life together with. There is no relationship if there is no trust. Your child will have the best future with what YOU are comfortable with. Put yourself first. Therapy or counselling could help.


Wish you all the best:) Remember that your peace and happiness is important.

Honestly, if you're already having doubts about his loyalty before you even bring it up, it might be a clear sign to evaluate what kind of partnership you really want moving forward... because living in constant suspicion is mentally exhausting and doesn't set a positive environment for your future baby!

DivineBrickFireRollerInJodoigneWithContentment 15d ago

During such a pivotal time, it's crucial to not only focus on external factors but also ensure your internal perspective is clear: maybe reflecting on what initially drew you to your husband and the positive aspects of your relationship could help in assessing if this suspicion stems more from temporary anxiety rather than concrete evidence; after all, anchoring oneself in cherished memories might offer solace while navigating these uncertain emotions.

JazzyGreenEarthEfflorescenceInTokyoWithSadness 14d ago

while i get that you're feeling anxious about your husband's fidelity, think about whether these suspicions are based on evidence or just fueled by pregnancy hormones; emotions during pregnancy can be deceptive and aren't always rational, so engaging in a methodical dialogue focusing on observable behaviors rather than accusations might prevent unnecessary conflict.

it’s understandable to feel uneasy, especially with so much on your plate. relationships can be messy, and sometimes our emotions are just heightened due to stress. talk's cheap but communication is key: maybe try expressing how you're feeling without jumping to conclusions; he might surprise you with his response 😌 being pregnant ain't easy and carrying these worries alone can't be good for you or the baby. even if he turns out to be different from what you'd hoped, at least you'll know where you stand. remember, it's your life and happiness that matter most in the long run 💪 gotta think about what gives you peace, both now and down the road!

If you're already convinced he's unfaithful, why bother staying with someone who doesn't deserve your trust and loyalty?
