Frustrated with Fiance
Currently 32 weeks pregnant with our first child and so drained trying to get some understanding from my fiance. We are trying to get things around the house ready for the baby, which includes some drywalling in our hallway and painting in various areas of the house, including the baby's room.
He is constantly getting annoyed with me for not helping more, even when I am doing other projects that are more manageable for me. Like he was upset I said no to helping with the mudding anymore because I was getting dizzy on the step ladder.
Mostly just need to vent. It's like he is the only person in my life who thinks I should be up on a ladder at 8 months pregnant and going as hard as I would any other day.
He also wakes me up every weekend if he comes to bed after me, on purpose, even though he knows I am so uncomfortable I can barely sleep these days, and I am the one who wakes up at six every morning with our dog. He just did it again tonight. Comes to bed, and says my name over and over until I wake up. And then gets mad at me because I'm grouchy and need him to also get our 50 pound dog (who now knows I'm awake) off of me.
I'm just so tired of having to explain why I need extra help and rest when everyone else seems to think it's common sense. And also so terrified for postpartum and the arrival of the baby if he can't be understanding and reasonable to communicate with at this stage.
Anyone deal with a partner who had their head in their rear for the pregnancy? How did things go for you after baby?
