Update- Feel like I’m failing my husbands “test”
I’m 9weeks today and so far this first trimester is kicking my a**, but I feel like my husband doesn’t get it. He’s not saying anything to me about being disappointed but he’s hardly talking to me, not being affectionate at all, and when he does stuff around the house I feel like he’s annoyed that I’m not doing it instead. I work a high stress job and I’ve had a really awful week at work and I’m in grad school too, so on top of feeling sick all day and night, I am just beat down by the time I get home.
I feel like he’s almost grading me to see how I handle it all and I’m not meeting his expectations, but anytime I ask him if everything’s okay he says yes, but his energy tells me otherwise.
Am I being overly emotional? How do I get him to understand that I am not just lying around being lazy while he takes care of stuff, but that I am actually physically and mentally drained by the time I get home? Will he ever understand? Anyone else been through similar?
Sorry for the rant!!
*Update*
Thank you ladies who responded to me, I took your advice and texted him today saying that he seems bothered by something and he responded that he’s “annoyed a lot, but I’m pregnant so I’ll be crying and stressed” and that he’ll be okay biting his tongue. I responded back telling him that it is more stressful to have this constant tension at home where it should be our safe space and that we should have a conversation so that we can move forward. All he said was ok, so now I guess I wait til he gets home today so we can talk 😞
