Feeling frustrated...

I have to admit that my hubby has really been a great support through out my pregnancy. I'm now 37 weeks and as of week 35 I feel like he's slowly starting to check out of the support role. He's dealing with some pain problems of his own that he has started going to physical therapy for. Yesterday after his appointment he told me his therapist told him his stress has been irritating his muscular problem. Then in so many words he told me I was stressing him out by having a list of things to get done before baby comes(for the baby). I wasn't sure how to take this at first but ended up getting super hurt and having my first full on pregnancy meltdown. It's not like me to rely on anyone so I'm feeling vulnerable. The stuff I asked him to do is stuff that I physically can't do at 37 weeks. Additionally, I stopped working 2 weeks ago and am feeling a bit useless and insecure about not contributing equally to income!! To top it all off the night before he told me this I cooked a bomb ass dinner, made him sit on the couch right when he got home, got him a heating pad, and after dinner gave him an hour long massage with candles and everything. Alas, I've talked to him about how what he said really hurt me but then today we were practicing some breathing exercises and he was on his phone checked out half of the time. It's so obvious that he's mentally checking out and this is when I need him most. It's totally out of character for him and after confronting him he seems totally in denial. I have no idea what to do but I'm getting stressed and feeling like I won't be supported the way I need to be during labor and even maybe beyond??? It's worrysome that we're in the toughest part of this journey and he's mentally peacing out. Halp!

He's probably just getting nervous about this big change that's about to happen. Idk what you need done still but I would try not to stress out too much newborns sleep a lot you will probably get a chance to do it later after the baby's home.
