I don't know what to do..

Re: I don't know what to do..

Well...my fiance sometimes calls me animal names too like billi or monkey...but calling kutti, I would feel awkward with that!

Re: I don't know what to do..

Yes, that's right. But you should still call him khoti. It's definitely cuter and it will irritate him more.

Besides he calls you bandar and not bandariya, so it's all good.

Re: I don't know what to do..

Wallah! If my husband would ever dare to call me Kutti. I will surely call him "KUTTA" in return.

Why should I change the whole animal? I will rather change the Gender.

I don't know what to do..

Take care of yourself. it can't be good for the baby that you are starving yourself.

Re: I don't know what to do..

what is wrong with you women? How do you possibly see any "loving" in these kind of men? Because sometimes they call you stupid names with a smiley face, amongst the other things you've posted?

He sounds like he's a step away from becoming a wife beater.

OP if your parents are useless, try telling his?

Re: I don't know what to do..

dear me! well if he wants kids so badly does he nott know that u need to be fed properly as well ok not eating for 2 but fruit is something that u must have....

Re: I don't know what to do..

ohman.. hang in there girly.

Re: I don't know what to do..

Um, that would be an idealistic view of seeing things. Very sweet but completely impractical.

Start looking for ways to become a bit more financially independent.

Re: I don't know what to do..

why do so many women live on in the belief that a man will become better once he's had a kid?
where does this idea come from?

Re: I don’t know what to do..

How can u be so normal with him after what he says to ur mum, how dare he? I’m sorry but that is below someone being illmannered and illeterate, I wud’ve slapped him so hard if I was u, How can someone call my mum **** on my face and I don’t show him what he or she actually himself is..so disgusted :nahi:

Re: I don't know what to do..

I was asking myself something very similar when I read OPs post. Forget that he will become better after the child, I mean she's starving herself and her child which she should be prioritising over her husband!!

Personally I'm fed up with the stupid dramas where the bahu goes through turmoil after turmoil and then wins everyone's hearts after the 12874645374654745464747th episode!

OP, your husband is a jerk. Look after yourself and your child, and become financially independent.

Re: I don't know what to do..

Oh I don't know.. If you're okay with him calling you and your mom a kutti, then I think him smoking shouldn't bother you too.

any waysss...

Re: I don't know what to do..

He rarely says any of those on texts, mostly on calls so I hear what and how he says and it not in a rude way, I mean he calls billi in a really cute manner its not aggressive or name calling attitude at all, and monkey he calls me in a teasing/joking way and still I take it back on him by saying that your kids will be monkeys then. He doesn't push it more than that and never ever calls me names even if we fight Alhamdulillah, so you can say it's in my comfort level, and maybe if I did mind it and told him he wouldn't call me any of those anymore. What I was saying was that these are still OK, but calling "kutti" is not at all ok even if its a joke or a tease. I mean its just plain rude

Re: I don't know what to do..

^^ Agree w/ Hadeel.
My husband has never called me a kutti etc ever , or ever called my parents names. If he did, I would not take it lightly.

Please do not kid yourself that your husband's behaviour will change. I feel so sorry for you, your husband and the poor child that will be coming into your drama. Is the child going to be called another version of 'kutta/'kutti'?

What is wrong with him? Yes, he is your husband, but please do not defend his actions. You posted here for a reason.

Re: I don't know what to do..

I think you need to take things step by step. This calling kutta, kutti, billi, bandar etc is not as important as your health and the baby's for now. Firstly, how far along are u, i believe...first trimester according to your symptoms. This cigarette smoke all around you is extremely dangerous for your babys health. Are you going for your regular checkups to your ob/gyn and are you taking any multi vitamins? Are there any women/infant charity programs that help out low income families that provide food stamps you could sign up for and get free groceries? If you are going in for regular checkups to your ob/gyn, discuss this with him/her and maybe she might be able to guide you where to get food stamps and all. You need to make your diet top priority over everything and try to stay away from all that smoke, perhaps move in with your parents for now or ask your mom/sister to help you out somehow. I dont want to scare you but babys first 3 months of development are the most vital when all organ systems are forming and start functioning and you need to take very good care of yourself specially at this time.

Re: I don't know what to do..

She's right.

Maybe you can see if there are any options for low income families?

Re: I don't know what to do..

I don't know about WIC , or food stamp programs in the UK...

Have you been to see a Dr. yet? Are you registered with a GP? If not, then you also need to do that. You should get vitamins, prenatal care from there and luckily that is free.

Guppans in the UK can offer better advice for prenatal care and resources available in the UK.

Re: I don't know what to do..

What a silly thing to say. You cant change someone. And having someone's child will not change them either. He knows this child is inside you, yet makes no effort to feed you (hence the child). I would tell your parents. Dont wait till things get worse. Not so that they actually do something, you can tell them not to interfere for now..but need to know in case you urgently need something from them once.

Re: I don't know what to do..

ANd stop starving yourself during the day. EAT; its not just you, its the baby too. If he comes home and there is no food, well there is no food for HIM. Tell him to have a cigarette instead.

Re: I don't know what to do..

You should eat as much as you wan't, don't starve yourself. If there isn't enough food left for your husband then all the more reason for him to get more groceries. And I think you mentioned that your husband locks the door and leaves for work (I could have misunderstood that part), but if that is the case, then what will you do in case theres a fire or something? You need to think about your safety and the baby's safety as well.
