Anyone else hate hearing “you’re overreacting”?

Desiree

So my husband can be a major a$$hole! I’ve felt fine during this pregnancy so far until tonight when I got heartburn for the first time and it was so bad it made me nauseous and brought me to tears. My husband just ignored me the whole time until I blatantly said in tears what my problem was. He continued to ignore me as I went towards the bathroom to see if I had to throw up and luckily I didn’t so I just sat up on my bed massaging my stomach to calm it. He later came in and asked if I was ok and I said no. He got irritated with me and I said he could’ve asked me if he could do something for me or get me anything, I.e. go to the store to buy antacids. Instead of just apologizing he selfishly said “what do you want me to do? I can’t fix it?” I was calm until he was too lazy to realize I just gave him the answer and I told him that all I wanted was empathy and some showing of love and caring concern. Then instead of just listening to my point again he kept upsetting me and defending himself by saying “I think you’re overreacting!” That phrase is like nails on a chalkboard to me now! I told him I wasn’t even mad or blaming him, but rather I was trying to educate him on how to better help me next time. Instead of apologizing, he again continued to be a smart ass and told me to calm down and walked away. Men! Why are they so horrible at communicating? (He’s originally from NJ and definitely has that rude attitude, no offense to others from there that don’t, but he does) It’s like he has this complex about admitting when he’s done something wrong! He’s so stubborn. I told him to keep this up and if he can’t handle something small like this then he can wait and see if I will let him in the delivery room on the day that I give birth! If he’s not there to be helpful or supportive and can’t handle seeing me in pain without trying to make it about him, well then he will lose that privilege and I will have someone else there that can be there for me! Sorry, I just had to vent! Thanks for listening.
