Husband yelled at me

Trying to fight back tears…

I have GD & I can’t be fasting more than 8-10 hours at night. I woke up this morning in a hurry to get my daughter & I ready for the day. That takes some time. Meanwhile, my husband is taking his precious time eating his breakfast. Breakfast I can’t have… GD has been so hard for me. Seeing food I can’t eat, having it eaten right in front of me, etc. Not to mention the multiple times I need to poke myself to check my blood again. And being pregnant…It’s all just a lot. I wish sometimes he’d try to understand how I feel.

Anyways, we come downstairs where he is finishing up his breakfast & I still have to make breakfast for my daughter & a GD friendly breakfast for me. I just wish he would’ve gotten something started for us that way it wouldn’t take another 30 min for me to wait to eat. I have been fasting for 13 hours now & im nervous about my blood sugar levels.

I told him my frustrations & that I was hungry & shaking from being hungry. He said he made me tea. Which he didn’t. He only heated up the water. He got upset that I was upset & started throwing things & yelling. He upset my daughter who ran to the living room instead of to the table. He spanked her before throwing her onto her seat at the dining table.

He left for work saying that I’m a terrible person.

EDIT:

I just texted him “I’m sorry” because I know someone needs to say it. I’m currently crying my eyes out & trying to keep it together for my daughter & my baby. I wish I could go see my family but they live 7 hours away from me.

I’ve actually also been having trouble staying happy. It’s hard not being able to travel at this stage of pregnancy. I’ve been going to the hospital every week for a non stress test (NST). It’s honestly been so draining. Last week’s appt showed that I’ve been having contractions so the nurses have told me to stay off of my feet. With that being said, my husband has been doing a lot to help at home. More than he’s ever had to do, even with my first pregnancy. I think he’s had enough of it & is frustrated. I think he’s also frustrated that we haven’t had sex in a while.

I just feel so sad. And I know that’s not good for the baby.

Update:

Please help. I’ve been in tears all day. Haven’t heard from my husband all day even after I texted him I’m sorry. I wish I had the car with me so that I could just take my daughter with me & leave him. He’s really not abusive. Sometimes he will get angry with our daughter when he is upset & ive talked to him about this. This morning was probably just his breaking point. I just feel really sad right now. I’ve been crying all day.
