Need to rant and need opinions! (long)
My boyfriend and I got in another fight today. We’ve been fighting a lot lately.... it seems like everyday it’s somethings new. Today got a lot more out of hand, we both raised our voices more than we should have and both were at our wits end with each other. He told me I had worked him so much I was making him sick, and then asked me to just once stop with my crap and help him when he has problems. Now I little backstory, we recently moved back to his hometown so he could “feel more like himself” he’s from a small town I’m from a much bigger town. I agreed to move back with him if it made him happy even tho it meant that I move away from my family and friends and give up my job and become a stay at home mom, which he knows I’ve never had much desire to do. I love my son more than anything but I also enjoy working, I take pride in it. But if it meant him being happy and feeling good about himself again I would. I’m not a good house keeper, I hate to cook. But I try my best to keep clothes washed and things picked up, I wake up and make him breakfast and lunch everyday before he goes to work for the evening. I don’t ask him to do a lot around the house, take out trash and occasionally help me with dishes. I feel like I do PLENTY to help him, I’m always there for him! But most days it’s a struggle to even get him to help keep an eye on our son so I can shower in peace. If anything I feel like he could do more for me, but I would never say that. Now I’m 34 weeks pregnant and have been asking him to help me get the room painted and things built and ready for the baby. But everything turns into a fight, he doesn’t want to do anything because he works and wants to rest when he’s home. And I get that I really do! But things also need to be ready for the baby WE are having soon! So after today’s fight I just couldn’t handle it anymore and I asked him he could stay with someone else for a couple days. Give us both a little time to just breath and have some space, and he completely shut down and wouldn’t talk to me like it was such a horrible thing for me to say..... I just need time to cool down, the stress isnt good for the baby or me, and it’s not good for our 2 year old to see us fight like this...... was I wrong to ask for a couple days and a little space?? Am I really such a selfish person like he makes it seem?? I just feel like nothing I do is enough and I completely feel unappreciated....
