11 weeks tomorrow and need to vent

My husband is just not getting being pregnant. At first he was so understanding and sympathetic. Now fast forward to 11 weeks and he just doesn’t care how I feel lately he’s just mad All the time. He says I’m moody and don’t show him enough affection (aka we’re not having as much sex maybe once a week now instead of every other day prior to baby) and he told me this morning he just hates to be around me now.

Needless to say I lost it. I cried and was so upset. He was going to leave for work and we decided to talk first. He apologized but I still don’t feel like he gets it. Yes I don’t do as much around the house like I used to.... yes I feel like crap and I’m exhausted and I fall asleep at 8 on the sofa after work most days. But I don’t think I’m as big of a bitch as he says I am... idk. I told him to tell me if he’s feeling this way in the moment. I’m a very happy peppy person and since being pregnant I haven’t been just because I feel like a truck as hit me.

He also said well maybe we shoulda waited longer to have a baby if I knew you were going to change .... we tried for 2 years to have a baby 😭
