I’m pregnant and don’t feel heard or understood
I’ve been married to my husband for 7 months. A bit of a backstory…So we are newly weds. Prior to me he was married for 19 years. His previous wife is deceased…. We dated for about 1.5 years before getting married. Currently I’m pregnant with his first child, my second. I do work part time take care of the home cook, clean, do laundry, make sure my current daughter needs are met. He comes home after work eats and falls asleep most days. But fast forward… Mother’s Day is Sunday. A package arrived on the porch while I was on the phone with him…he told me to open it. I did… and it was a toolbox. So many thoughts where going through my mind because not only am I in my third trimester of pregnancy but when we moved in he made it very clear he didn’t want me hanging anything, fixing anything, touching the grass or taking out the trash. I tried to explain to him that I was disappointed because I felt like that gift isn’t really for me. He went on to blame me for being difficult to shop for. I tell him what I like I even point it out in stores, But the thing is I don’t think he’s very observant of me like I am of him. I study his likes and dislikes. I look too see what he needs and what is useful to him. I am starting to feel like he just wanted to get married to say he’s married again. I’m honestly hurt because he said that well mother’s day isn’t for me to get you anything it’s about children getting stuff for the mothers. I said well excuse me for bringing your first born child into the world and being upset about a toolbox for a Mother’s Day gift. I can’t even look at him right now! Can someone just please help me… tell me if I’m over reacting.
