My girlfriend and I are in a new relationship. When we’re in person we communicate and talk a lot. Since she was 8 weeks pregnant things have gone down hill with affection, romance, and communication through text. We’ve talked about it and have had a good talk. We actually had one of the best days we had in a while the other day. It was super light and fun. Well today we talked and she told me she doesn’t feel comfortable with me. It was an absolute curveball. She said she feels comfortable with friends and family but not me and that concerns her. At the end of our conversation she checked in on me and I told her I’m just thinking of every worst case scenario and told her I feel like I’m losing her. She responded to me by saying “did I say that?” I want to think it’s just the hormones, but I really don’t know. She is now 11 weeks 6 days pregnant.

Im trying to figure out how to navigate this one. My girlfriend and I found out a couple weeks ago that we are having a baby. She and I have been talking 2 months but only official for a month. She and I did have history a few years ago as well, so it’s not just a random woman. She and I work so well together, we communicate really effectively, and we are both really strong for what we’ve overcome in our pasts. She’s a really good woman. From the beginning of our relationship we have always been very touchy, flirty, and talkative with each other. Now things have made a 180° turn. I understand why. She’s not feeling well, she’s tired, she is overwhelmed with everything, etc. I totally get that part. What I can’t stop thinking about is that it’s because of me, even though I know it’s not, and she’s straight up told me that it’s not. I have been trying to not take the lack of talking personally, but it’s so hard. Has anyone else gone through this here? How did you navigate that aspect?
