Am I crazy??? Am I overreacting?

Savannah

I need to know if I am overreacting!! I’m not sure if this is the right group to post this in, but my husband and I have been TTC for about three years now, we have done three medicated with trigger shot cycles and have decided to take a break but recently he’s been playing video games with his buddies from high school and that’s not the issue it’s that the buddies from high school are a married couple and they have kids and another single dad who hangs out with them a lot and the whole group calls the main girl “mama” when playing video games and it kind of upsets me. I’ve kind of mentioned it to my husband that it hurts my feelings when he calls her that because I want to be able to be called “mama” but it just hasn’t happened for us yet. I don’t think he means it in a bad way but just the whole group refers to her as that because she’s just used to being called that by her two little girls and her husband and it’s just what all of the group calls her, but I really don’t like it when my husband calls her that and I don’t know if I am overreacting and should bring it up to my husband again or not.

Thank you both! I did talk to him and he apologized and didn’t realize it was something that upsets me, I haven’t noticed him saying it anymore so I think the problem is solved. I hope so anyways!

AND Communication!!

Yes if he’s aware that you are bothered, and he hasn’t tried to even find out why it worries you, then there’s a problem. Just try to talk to him and see if there is a line between the middle. It’s all about setting boundaries.

As your husband he should respect your wishes and not want to continue doing something that it hurtful towards you.. just as I’m sure you’d stop if it were the other way around. I’d definitely talk to him again. Communication is key in relationships. I know I’d personally be annoyed and probably eventually overreact about something little due to keeping something that’s bothering me inside.
