It’s easy for moms to feel bonded and connected to their babies during pregnancy, since they get to carry their little ones around for nine long months, but it can be harder for dads to feel needed and feel like part of the process.
This Panama City, Florida man was thrilled that he was going to get the chance to be a father after finding out that his fiancé was pregnant, but never imagined how much it would change her and their relationship. “I started to feel unappreciated, but I had to realize it has nothing to do with me,” he explained. “You can’t be selfish. You can’t try to make it all about you. She has everything going on from all the symptoms, all the hormones … but it doesn’t last forever.”
20-year-old Joshua Streeter wanted to show his fiancé, Ariana Ward, some support and decided to post his heartfelt message, which has been liked more than 80,000 times, to Facebook. “Every second is worth it, it has literally taken my fiancé and took over her body and with all the stress, aching and using the bathroom and sickness throughout the entire day, they hurt, they get so emotional and fatigue and they can’t explain why,” Streeter wrote about the challenging pregnancy.
“But that’s where you come in, make her feel that it’s okay to cry, get upset, mad and laugh out of nowhere and make her feel like she is a damn queen. Because she is creating a life and that is so interesting and amazing to me,” Streeter wrote. “Make her smile every damn day because her view of her own self is changing, her hormones are going 2M mph, she gaining weight and she’s thinking that it’s making her less beautiful but reality is that she’s even more beautiful than ever.”
