I need to vent.

My husband is becoming SUCH an asshole. I'm on maternity leave and he REALLY thinks I'm lazy and do nothing all day.

We had a huge fight and guess what it was over? Me not taking the garbage out. How pathetic. He claims I'm so lazy and fall short of my 'duties' because it takes 2 minutes to take the garbage out. I was upset by his comments because he says I get to stay home all day and be comfortable and hang out with my son while he has to bust his ass and work all day to come home to a dirty house. Apparently, me taking care of our son is not work.

I can ASSURE you, our house is NOT a disaster. At most, the dishes may not be done or sometimes laundry gets piled up. But he claims I make us live in a disgusting house that is never clean. Although it is clean and if you came here, you would never think 'wow these people are pigs'. He just has this ridiculous standard of everything needing to be pristine.

I'll admit, he has made most of my days on maternity leave AWFUL because he is always miserable about something. I hate to think I'm being overdramatic but this has been going on for months and in his eyes I do literally everyone wrong.

He claims he has to pick up my slack AND work all the time.

The sad part is, we just signed for our mortgage today on our FIRST house together. It should be the happiest time of our life. Now I'm just stuck feeling guilty as if I don't do anything all day or contribute. I'm on paid maternity so I do bring in some income while I'm off.

I'll give you a small example of how much of an asshole he is. After our appointment with our mortgage broker, I had to nurse our son right away because he was starving. My husband proceeded to make me feel awful because he had to make himself food while I 'sat on the couch' were his words. Excuse me, asshole, I'm nursing OUR son. Sorry bud, but he comes first.

There is much much more I can say. Long story short, now a days in his eyes, I never do anything right. He is the type of guy who looks at life with the glass half empty. He is always stressed and upset about something.

If you made it this far, thank you for reading. I needed to vent. This has been a constant issue and we have fought many times over this. We've been together for 9 years and now all of a sudden after our son was born and me being on maternity leave, he has changed into this person I don't even know anymore.
