We have been together a year and a half and are exspecting our first baby this June! We are very excited and can't wait to meet our son!

But I feel as though my man is losing interest in me.
We do NOT live together... but we do see eachother alot.
He works over time almost every week but I always find time to see him.

Maybe I see him too much? When we are not together he very rarly replies or calls me back. When we are together all he wants to do is watch sports center and STILL play video games.

He does not call me baby anymore... or really acts like I am his girlfriend.
It if wasnt for me making the time to see him... I don't think we would if it was up to him.

We have sex still 2-3 times a week so I guess that is healthy.
I just feel as though he is losing interest in me... Should I give him a break from me? Should I stop texting him and calling him when we are away from each other?

I am very dependent on this guy... and I can obviously tell he does NOT need me around

Have you talked to him about your concerns? He is excited about meeting his son? Does he talk about support for the baby? Does he work?

There indeed are some red flags here.

It would be a good idea to express your concern and explore whats his too. Maybe he is just too overwhelm with the fact that he is becoming a father. Maybe he just needs sometime of his own. who knows, It can be hard for guys sometimes. But be sure that you bring out the topic in a non offensive way. Dont file complains. Instead try to express your feeling without making him feeling attacked. start with I feel ...rather than you did not... Sometimes guys get offensive or overwhelmed if he think we are complaining about him being not good enought (when we are just trying to express our feelings).

To help with creating bonds again, one resource i looked into is the 5 love language (google for homepage). Perhaps you and him can try the free assessment test to get to know each other and to see if you guys are speaking the same language. It might be just that you two love each other but are expressing it in different ways.

It would also be important to know if he is showing interest to you and your baby. If he also wants this relationship to work. If so, then there are other things you can do such as going for couples therapy, reading relationship books, attending relationship workshops.
