Am i being dramatic

Hi ladies,I am 26weeks pregnant with massively swollen ankles and feet, I have to work 10 hours everyday 6 days a week ,I am a doctor. My husband is a doctor also but works way less hours than I do but he still expects me to make him breakfast, lunch,dinner(no matter how late I get home),clean the house,hand wash all his clothes,take out the trash and don't complain.

I have been doing all this, and anytime I complain ,he gets annoyed,doesn't talk to me and will never apologize, I tell him about how tired I feel ,the aches I have and all I get is quick sorry , I am not usually emotional but in this pregnancy I can't get through the day without breaking down in tears, just this morning he got up before me and made breakfast for himself alone because I came home late last night and asked him to please help me with dinner, he had been home 4 hours watching movies,he refused to help me make dinner,I made dinner, he ate and went to bed without talking to me, woke up this morning made breakfast for himself alone, when I made comments about it he just started sulking and refused to talk to me, I am really tired I don't know how to get through to him.

Make dinner but only for yourself! Do your own laundry and dishes. He’s acting like a child and obviously needs to learn what chores are right?? You aren’t his mommy, you’re his wife. We don’t live in the 50’s anymore. You won’t be there with a martini when he walks through the door because you work hard! If he can’t understand that then you’ll have to show him that he’s gonna have to learn to fend for himself

This! You're his PARTNER and WIFE.. his EQUAL... not his slave... nor maid... nor assistant. Do this and set his ass straight. Be strong because once baby get here... hes gonna be so much worse!!!

Reading your post actually makes me so angry and so sad.It's just a blatant disregard of your feelings and complete disrespect. He sounds like a child and needs to grow the hell up. When the baby is born, is he going to expect you continue to do everything including raise the baby on your own? Screw that. It's hard enough being pregnant but also working full time is so stressful and tiring. I think as someone else mentioned, counselling might be a good option but he seems like the type who would never agree. So maybe if you give him choices then maybe it could work? Seems like he's pretty controlling so if he gets to choose what tasks you do and what tasks he'll be responsible for, could work? Like if you do dishes and meals, he does laundry and house cleaning ? I'm not sure but it bothers me so much. Having a support system is so very important, especially when you're pregnant. You really can't be expected to do everything the exact same as before, it's just not realistic. My hubby and I have a deal, whoever makes dinner, the other person cleans the dishes. One person does laundry, one person folds it. If the house needs a deep clean, we split up the tasks... And if I can't get my portion done because I'm flipping exhausted from cooking up a human, he never nags me about it, I do it later or he just finishes for me. This is a partnership, and if you wanted to be a single mom, I'm sure you would have chosen that for yourself. You seem like an intelligent, caring individual. Unfortunately, when you wear emotions on your sleeve or you're too giving, often times that gets taken advantage of. You have two people to take care of right now, you and your baby. Do what you feel is right. Posting on here will give you ideas but at the end of the day, you have to live with your decision and something obviously doesn't feel right.

You are not being dramatic. As a doctor he should know what your mind and body are going through. Completely unfair.

Even if you weren’t pregnant, that would be a shitty way to treat you.

As an outsider, it appears there are some real fundamental values lacking, or rather fundamentals you don't agree on. It looks to me like there is something deeper going on here. This relationship sounds horrendous in the state it's in. I've never been to therapy, but that's what it sounds like you all need. I'm so sorry. Can you imagine what your work load is going to be like when the baby comes??? Sending you strength!!

Omg your post makes me so mad. I’m 26 weeks and so uncomfortable and if my husband even hinted it had to be like what you’re describing I would laugh in his face. No, you’re not being even a little bit dramatic in fact he’s treating you very poorly and gaslighting you. He works fewer hours, has four hours to spend watching movies and expects you to make his dinner, then sulks when you ask for help? You’re a saint for not leaving him already. If you can’t get through to him, I would maybe suggest counseling so an objective third party can tell him how ridiculous he’s being. I’m so sorry, best of luck!

You are not being dramatic this stuff is important. Now is when you two need to figure out how to help and support each other, not when baby comes since that's when it gets really hard. You need to figure out how side of the story too.
