Anyone else annoyed by their SO??

Question

I’m 17 weeks and knew I was pregnant before the tests were positive. My hormones were INSANE and I was mean af. I made my fiancé cry quite often. I still feel like my hormones are raging and so is my attitude.
We’ve been together 9 mos and lived together the whole time. We know each other pretty well, so I don’t think it’s “an adjustment period”, but damn, everything he does drives me mad!! It’s to the point where I can’t stand to be around him. I can’t stand for him to touch me and we definitely are NOT having sex. I feel bad because I don’t know why I feel like this and he’s very insecure about it (understandably so). He’s been super supportive this whole pregnancy and literally does everything for me. He’s going to be a great dad and is a great fiancé, so I’m feeling really guilty right now. 
Has anyone else been through this?

Answer

I think you need to get a therapist to help you work through your emotions and help you develop some coping strategies. Sometimes it the SO that needs to change.... but to me it sounds like things that wouldn't normally trigger you are causing you to become angry?
Also- ask your doctor for a blood test. My mom's thyroid quit during her second pregnancy and she turned into a monster, my parents almost divorced over it before they figured it out lol
If nothing comes from the blood work- you probably just need to develop bettrr strategies to cope with stress instead of taking it out on your fiancee.

Answer

It could still be adjustment. Just like you, I moved in with my bf pretty early on and it took us a LONG time to adjust, hell, there’s still things I’m getting used to and we’ve been together 2-3 years now lol

Answer

I’m dealing with this as well. If I feel myself getting annoyed, I leave the room or turn my focus to someone or something else. U have to remove urself, either mentally or physically. Also, be quick to apologize.

Answer

I experienced this in my second trimester. It was like every little thing he did would make me snap. I felt like I was insane. Since you know what's causing it you have an obligation to try and control yourself. That won't always be possible, believe me. There were many times where I had to say to my husband "I need to get away from you because my hormones are raging and I really want to hurt you (emotionally)." He would rather that I sat in a different room and not talk to him, maybe for the whole day, than pick a fight. When you find yourself getting fired up, first decide if you would normally get upset about it. Then be honest with him and get away from him. It's hard for others to forget the cruel things we say, even if they know it's coming from hormones, so it's best to not say them. I found if I couldn't just redirect my attention that writing down all the nastiness in a journal was really helpful in getting it out of my mind and moving on with my day.

Answer

Some days I wake up on the wrong side of the bed. We’ve been together 2 years but we’ve known each other for 7 years.

Answer

Yes, I apologize a lot for being grumpy and my mood swings. It actually helps me to have him point out (gently) when I'm being unreasonable. Then I catch myself in the moment and can choose again. Rather than feel guilty later and apologize, though I still have do that a lot.
