He’s Moving To The Guest Room Because I’m Pregnant



Dear Lady. Ann,

My husband and I are expecting our first child after three years of being together. We both are in our early 30s and we both wanted to start a family together. We have had a really beautiful relationship, but recently he has been working so much. His job is demanding from him and it is beginning to affect our beautiful relationship. He is constantly travelling and even when he is home, he is on his laptop working. We hardly spend quality time together.

Now, he has taken it too far by moving to the guest room. He says I have added a lot of weight due to the pregnancy and I’m taking a lot of the space on our bed, so he has decided to sleep in the guest room. I got really offended by it and we got into a heated argument. I understand that he needs as much rest as possible to do his job right, but our baby and I should be his number one priority not his job. There are better suggestions than moving to the guest room. We could get a bigger mattress for example. Am I being over sensitive, or do I deserve to be treated right in this period of our lives?

#DLATribe, does he have a good reason? Or is he being insensitive? What should she do?
