gender reveal gone wrong
hi everyone. I just want to know if i’m being crazy or dramatic and i really don’t know how ill ever get over how disappointed and unloved I felt in this moment. I threw a baby shower and gender reveal all in one for my partner (M26) and i (F24). Everything at the shower was beautiful and exactly how i pictured it would be. The gender reveal is where things went wrong. We did a big present box with balloons inside as the gender reveal ( my friend arranged everything so both me and the dad didn’t know the gender like everyone else). Once we opened the box and saw the balloons ( it’s a boy!) , my partner ran over to his family and hugged his dad and his brother and dapped everyone up in the crowd and basically completely forgot about me. I stood up there by myself for what felt like forever until my little brother came up and was the first to hug me. I feel so upset and unloved after this moment, it’s been 2 days after the shower and I’ve cried all day yesterday and today has already begun in tears and i don’t see them stopping. I just keep talking to myself in my head and saying to myself “ why didn’t he hug me ? why didn’t he acknowledge me?” and it just makes me feel so shitty about myself and i feel like im not important enough because if i was maybe he wouldn’t of completely forgot about my existence. Everything up to this point between me and the dad have been great, we’ve had the normal bickering and stress arguments since getting pregnant but nothing that worried me at all or made me feel this way. I really want to be able to move on and get over this but i just don’t know if i can, i genuinely have never felt this way ever in my life and im supposed to be celebrating and happy and opening gifts at home but i just feel so terrible about myself. it’s also so embarrassing for me, everyone that was there im sure noticed that and any person ive asked if they thought it was weird has said yes it was and that they just didn’t wanna bring it up to upset me. any advice anyone could give me would be great.
