This is my first thread and post and I'm loving this site!!
But I really need some advice, or just some general "It's okay, that's normal and your not just a total cowbag" sort of thing
I'm 12 and a half weeks pregnant with my third...my youngest is 8. It's my partners first though and our relationship is only a year in, we are getting married 6th March and he's very happy and over the moon about being a husband and father etc. He's very loving but he's doing me head in! Since about week 5 or 6 his affections and general niceness grates on me and I wish he'd go away! I feel just awful saying it but I daren't say it to anyone else because we are getting married in few weeks, having a baby and should be "in love" and all that sopey crap! Sorry that's how I feel about it, I do not feel at all in love, just generaly crap. I just simply don't want his attention or love, which I know is ridiculous because who wouldn't?! He does nothing really wrong either, he is this nicest and most caring man I've ever met! Will do anything for me ...oh except leave me alone or stop loving me so damn much! Oh I'm so awful! I keep reminding myself it's just hormones and it will pass but I can't stand it...he's always there, I just so want my own space, my own bed, my own house! What's wrong with me?! It's really getting me down, i don't know how to deal with it...I hate it when I can see him coming for a hug or a kiss, and have to fight the urge to say "please don't" .. My heightened sense of smell doesn't help, and for some reason it's his smell that I hate the most, why? He has to use cream for his eczema, but the smell is horrible (how mean is that, I just want to not smell everything! I mean it's cream, it's not fragranced!) ..sometimes I can smell his breath so strongly it makes me recoil, I've tried to tell him as politely as I can but he's offended (naturally) and says he cant help it, but I don't know what I can do to stop smelling him! I'm aware that I am a terrible mooody so-and-so and that I'm easily annoyed and agitated and so very very tired all the time, but it doesn't help when I feel so negatively towards the man I love. I'm so worried too and I upset at the thought I might not feel the way I'm supposed to on our wedding day because of my stupid hormones/mnoodiness
Sorry for the rant, I just don't know where to turn or what (if anything) I can do...
