Hormonal
I'm 33 weeks, almost 34, pregnant and I'm having a pretty hard time. My husband hasn't been so supportive this pregnancy, emotionally. It's been really rough, I have HG and I'm high risk for preterm labor because of past pregnancies. I'm home alone through the week because I work from home, so it's just me and my 2.5 year old until my husband gets home around 7. I try to spend time with him, but it's so late I'm cooking dinner, getting my son ready for bed, giving him a bath and reading him a bedtime story (my husband VERY rarely puts our son to bed). He'll play video games until 10-10:30 and by that time I'm exhausted and don't feel like staying up to watch a movie or anything. I understand he needs to wind down after work, but he also goes out twice a week with his friends to get his "alone time". I dont go out because it's uncomfortable and hard for me being so sick and big. On top of that, our sex life is almost non existent because he says my pregnant belly turns him off. I just feel so isolated and alone, and when I try talking about it with him he tells me "You wanted to get pregnant again" or "I'm not going to make myself miserable to make you happy". I decided to stay at my parents this weekend with our son (I work from home throughout the week, so I have to stay where my work stuff is), after he left to go out with his friends even though I was in tears trying to see if he would stay. I wasn't forcing him, I simply asked him to stay. I don't enjoy being home alone by myself so much with our son, I need a break too, and I need his help sometimes. I haven't told him yet, but I know when I do, he'll get super pissed. I just don't know what to do, but don't want to act too irrationally because I know these hormones are making me feel ten times worse than what I may actually be feeling... I don't know. Has anyone else gone through this? Did getting away for a few days help?
