Helpful Tips for Talking with Your Partner
Perhaps your partner reacted the opposite way you might have hoped he would to your pregnancy news, or he’s just not filling your support needs.
If you don’t see eye to eye on your pregnancy or the next steps, this can be devastating, especially if you saw this relationship lasting a long time. Here are a few tips for navigating this situation with your partner.
Give Your Partner Time to Process
Pregnancy is a significant life change for both of you. If his gut reaction was not what you anticipated, he might need time to process. Feelings can change after the shock subsides, and he may begin to think and feel differently.
Give him at least an evening to process the news. Alone time to think can help him work through his thoughts and feelings and make his response more reasonable.
Be Open and Honest
Keep an open and honest dialogue with your partner. Explain your emotions and needs, and let him know how he can best support you during this time.
If your partner cares about you and wants to work through this situation together, he will be willing to listen. Also, reciprocate and listen to him as well. This situation can be difficult, but it’s possible to work through it together—even with a rough start.
Remember: It’s Your Choice to Make
There’s a chance your partner will not come around and support your pregnancy. This circumstance can be complicated, and we’re sorry if you find yourself in this position.
Regardless of how he feels, it’s ultimately your choice what you do next. Choose based on what you truly want; do not let anyone pressure you. Make an informed and confident choice for yourself and your future.
