Flood, it's my turn for advice

Recently I got diagnosed with depression. Things have been, for lack of a better word, hard. Since that got pinned on me, I struggle to find happiness in my daily activities. I no longer find joy in tormenting all of you and my coworkers. As I get closer to my due date, I notice my boyfriend getting more and more distant. He won't answer my messages or hold me like he used to. Usually I'm not all touchy, feely, and all that fgt shit, but for some reason it's really starting to bother me. Anyways, I feel forgotten and cast aside. I told my boyfriend at the start of this relationship that if he was going to pull this shit he can go find someone else. But since I'm a bit attached right now (having his kid, yadayadayada), I can't seem to leave. Don't get my wrong guys, I love the -blam!-er. I just need more... attention, affection, and hell at least some acknowledgement. I've talked to him several times about this, but it seems to have fallen on deaf ears. What would you do in this situation? TL;DR: Otthild's ranting and wants advice on how to deal with a negligent significant other. EDIT: Baby is going out for adoption. EDIT #2: Guys, I have talked to him. I've talked to him a lot. He always brushes me off. EDIT #3: Yes, I will be going to counseling for postpartum. EDIT #4: Thank you for the advice guys. I'll try to apply it the best I can. Also, thank you for the limited amount of troll responses.

  • Most guys don't show as much love for their significant other when they don't feel like they are getting the respect that they deserve. I'm thinking that your boyfriend is either wanting more respect from you, or he is scared of the idea of having a child to take care of (maybe both). Since you have a kid coming, your mind may be more focused on yourself than him, and he is starting to feel neglected as well. Note that this is all "maybes" and "ifs", please don't take offence if this is far from the truth, and you are giving him the respect her deserves. I would just suggest that you try and show that you respect him, and care about him, and that you realize that the baby might be stressful on him.
