Controlling SO
My SO has always been a highly anxious person, and I've been an independent-minded partner; however, as soon as I got pregnant, he started monitoring everything I eat. When we are out to eat, he goes through the menu and "reminds me" of what I can't have--soft eggs, shellfish, meat must be cooked through, no fish with Mercury, ask if cheese is pasteurized. He Googles all my teas and tells me which ones I can have. He took a Tyme tea from me and dumped it down the drain because he read somewhere that it can bring on menstration (???) He went insane when I got a cough and my doctor told me to take cough medicine. He wouldn't buy me cough drops when I was so sick and laying on the couch coughing up a lung. I'm sneaking cough drops!!
I know some of you will say it's sweet or that he's just trying to be involved, but after 12 years of being together, it's making me dctrememly nervous that the next 18+ years will be like this. He's making me resent him and the pregnancy. He doesn't listen or change when I talk to him.
Please share your thoughts. I'm getting desperate!
