Is it me or is it him ?
I’m 19 weeks pregnant with my second but this time around I’m doing it with a partner. My husband is a first time parent. This is my first boy and when I tell you this pregnancy is way different then my first. I’ve been so moody, and cranky lately its not funny. An my husband doesn’t make it better I have to catch myself from snapping on him on a daily. An lately I been thinking about just doing this alone again. Yes it was hard being a single mom at a young ages an it would probably be even harder having 2 and doing it alone. He’s not a bad dad he’s been to all the apartment so far talks to the baby every night works for use well I go to school. Yes this might seem like I have it all but let me tell you where the problem start.
First he is always comparing me to other women for example he will say “ well she’s way bigger and she’s not walking funny”, “well my sister never had these problems “. Like at this point I don’t know what to say anymore. I have tried explaining but it like he doesn’t listen because it keeps happening.
Secondly it like he doesn’t care how I’m feeling he still wants what he wants and if he doesn’t get it he makes me feel bad about saying how I’m feeling like for example he would say “ ya your in pain but you can at least give me head” , “well I worked all day so I deserve to get some” there’s more. Like even me just type these this it makes me mad.
I find myself everyday questioning my decision. Yes we are legally married and I’m not saying I want a divorce but are relationship was way better before we got married and before we found out we were pregnant I just don’t get what happened. Is it me? Is it the hormones from the baby? I honestly don’t know. I’m trying to get him to understand stand that not every pregnancy is the same. I’ve tried sending articles. Talking to him about going to classes together. But when it comes to that area of the pregnancy he doesn’t want to put any effort in. I need some advice I can’t keep going like this. I want to be happy and right now I’m not.
