How important is being emotionally supportive of a partner?
And what is a reasonable expectation of how a partner should be in providing emotional support?
Everything I ever learnt and thought I understood about how a normal relationships work has just been completely turned around in one day when my man said he feels I push him into a corner after i asked him why he is never emotionally supportive of me as someone who has been suffering from anti-natal depression. i honestly don’t know what is right or wrong anymore. he is adamant he loves me, but then says any other man would have thrown me out by now whenever i bring it up. but with the whole weight of the pregnancy on my shoulder alone honestly already feel like a single mum.
Is it wrong to expect a partner to give just a little support and care through a pregnancy?

what you see as a little emotional support he may see as a lot.
You shouldn’t rely entirely on him for your support, you should talk to your friends also. Perhaps join a mother’s group?
You need to respect his needs as well as your own, and if you are constantly repeating topics then he is probably becoming frustrated.
After discussing a certain issue, take some alone time and think over what both of you have said. try to come to your own conclusions and not just rely on him talking.
Also, he may want to talk to you about things other than your child. Yes, your baby may be the most important thing in your life right now, but it isn’t your whole life.
Remember to make jokes and have a fun time with him. He is probably feeling overwhelmed by emotion at this time and it would be beneficial for both of you to just relax and chill out every once in a while
