Anyone elses pregnancy putting a strain on their relationship?

Question

My bf and I have been bickering since I found out I was pregnant. I'm 29w and he just seems like he's so miserable with me at this point. I have been crying non stop bc I am always arguing with him over such small things. He puts up with it so well and he shouldn't have to.
Tonight he texted me and asked if I love him still.. I said yes, obviously because I truly do. But he just sounds so miserable..  he's working night shift tonight and the next few nights. I told him I may just pack up some of my things and my daughters and go to my moms till baby is born and decide where we want to go with our relationship from there... my heart is breaking.

Answer

Wait why are you guys bickering? Did he not want a baby? And as long as it's safe why are you not staying and working it out?

Answer

Being pregnant is hard.  There are a lot of changes happening and coming once baby is born.  Personally I do think it’s a little normal to be overwhelmed.  But you do need to take a step back and realize why you chose him to have a baby with, I’m assuming because you both love each other very much.  Find a way to take a breath and try to talk without fighting.  If you need a weekend away or a date night where you don’t talk about baby or responsibilities do it.  Now is the time.  I am 36 weeks pregnant with baby #2 and this is my husbands 4th child coming.   All kids live with us full time.  So it can be very hectic and stressful and my husband and I have our own set of stresses. But we had a date last night and the waitress said her parents had 5 kids back to back and later in their relationship had to start “redating” and fell back in love again after the stress of that many pregnancies wore off.  She loved watching it happen.  Try to relax. There is plenty of change coming and you’re going to need a lot of patience and grace when it does.  Ideally if your bickering and fighting is over little non important stuff you will want him in your corner helping you.  Best of luck and hang in there.
