Hi everyone
I'm 12/13 weeks pregnant with my first child, usual nausea and exhaustion (thankfully nowhere near as bad as some experiences on here, but challenging nonetheless.)
I'm facing problems getting any support from my husband. If I try to talk about anything that is on my mind or worrying me ( finances, time off work, child care split etc) he tells me I am being negative and to stop stressing. My job is very long, stressful, demanding and pressured, when I raised this last night I was told bluntly that I was in a situation of my own making, I should stop caring so much and get a grip. This was delivered rudely and barked at me. it upset me a great deal.
I didn't expect to come home to sunshine and roses each night, but I really did think DH would be supportive and lovely whilst I was pregnant. (In addition to lack of emotional support i still do 80% of housework, working full time).
Am really disappointed. He actually told me last night that I had no idea how hard it was for HIM, dealing with me being pregnant. Yes I am feeling emotional from time to time but I am just looking for support at what is a very difficult time in my life.
Am I a hormonal witch who is expecting too much of him? Tell it to me straight, I can take it!
Thanks in advance x
