Am I being unreasonable?
So I found out I was pregnant again last week after 3years of trying and 4 miscarriages. Of course we were over the moon.
I then had a really bad tooth infection for a few days which was the most agonising pain (still have it!) Made worse by the fact I can’t take anything stronger than paracetamol.
I started bleeding yesterday and I’ve been here often enough to know what’s happening. Although I was only 6 weeks this time, I’m obviously devastated.
The problem is my husband: we both work full time jobs but he also studies so I pick up most of the cleaning and all of the cooking. With me being poorly over the last few days I’d let everything slide- full kitchen sink and no food in the fridge.
He came home from Work yesterday and didn’t say much let alone offer to clean or cook despite me being in a lot of pain. I figured he was also sad so I let it go.
Today he messaged me saying he was having the worst day and how he felt so unwell, followed up with a ‘how are you’?
So he gets home from work, and it turns out he has a cold!!! Had a brief conversation, he went for a shower and straight to bed before 6pm. I’m such a clean freak normally so i couldn’t go one more minute without cleaning so despite me being in a lot of pain, I got up and cleaned. Not much energy left I made myself some toast and am left sat feeling very sorry for myself.
I know I’m probably sounding like a spoiled brat right now but is it so wrong to think that he should be taking care of me in this situation?
Am I wrong in thinking that a cold/bad day at work should be an afterthought when you have a poorly wife who’s going through a miscarriage? Have I married the worlds least thoughtful man or are my hormones getting the better of me?
