Am I wrong or is he?

My husband and I had to run to a hardware store to get screws for our crib. He’s not very good when it comes to tools and all that so I had to go with him and make sure he got the right ones, he also refuses to ask for help so that’s another reason i went. I’m 8 months pregnant, and we brought our 2 year old.

This is a local hardware store, we don’t have Lowe’s and all that. The carts don’t have buckles so our 2 year old couldn’t be buckled and she loves to stand up. That’s a nightmare on its own lol. Plus, the floors are really dirty (that will come in later)

Anyways, we are there for about 25 minutes, I had asked a worker for help because they didn’t have the kind we needed. As she’s looking, I get really dizzy. I mean like everything going black, I start sweating, I’m getting horrible pains down my back, the baby is kicking and that hurts. Plus our 2 year old is SCREAMING because she wants to stand and I wouldn’t let her. She starts kicking and hitting. I tell him we need to leave, they don’t have what we need anyways. I’m holding onto a shelf because I can’t stand or see right and he ignores it. I tell him what’s wrong and he just looks at me with a blank stare and goes “lay on the floor or go outside” I wouldn’t have made it outside and the floors are disgustingly dirty, I’m not about the sit down especially since I was in so much pain and even leaning over hurt. I start shaking, trying not to cry, have no idea why I’m in so much pain, and he says “take her into the next isle so she’s not screaming or something” I tell him again that I need help, I’m going to pass out.. literally. He says again to go to the car because it would be rude to tell the worker never mind since they were trying “so hard” to find what we need.

Finally I make it outside, carrying a screaming 2 year old because he wouldn’t watch her and can barely stand up, a stranger even helped me! He comes out 20 minutes later and is mad that I’m mad at him.

I told him it was really shitty of him to do that and I could have seriously gotten hurt. What if I passed out and hurt the baby? Or passed out and our daughter stood up in the cart and fell because he wouldn’t watch her? He just shrugs and says AGAIN that it would be rude to tell the worker never mind and I should have just laid on the floor because “pregnant people do that all the time” so it’s my fault 🙄🙄🙄

I should add that I do have a high risk pregnancy and we are lucky that he’s even stayed in this long, they were expecting him to come over a month ago. Thank god he didn’t but you’d think he’d be a bit more caring.

At home he’s always been really helpful, if I even say ow he’s freaking out. But in public he just doesn’t care at all. I told him that when strangers are helping his wife and he’s ignoring her, there’s a problem and if that’s how it’s gonna be then I honestly don’t want to be married. So we aren’t talking now, he said I have to apologize.

I can’t tell you ladies exactly how I was feeling in there but when I say that I couldn’t even see straight I mean it. I almost fell multiple times. I asked him to watch her and he wouldn’t. He watched me struggle to stand up and still walked away from us.

Am I wrong? Maybe my hormones are going crazy?

On the good note: I called my doctor and he’s getting me in Monday for some more tests. He thinks it may be time for them to do a C section, but won’t know for sure until they get me in. I might get to meet my little angel soon!
