Am I being unreasonable

Hi guys
So I’m 14 weeks pregnant and I’ve been having a rough time I’m on tablets for hypermesis which can strike anytime most days I’m okay but just okay feel like crap everyday. My husband usually understanding but there’s one issue. When he went to a party last night he just couldn’t tell me when he was going to be home but assured me it wouldn’t be late and it was really late. We have a two year old already who doesn’t sleep great anyway so if I’m sick it’s not easy to be parenting alone while he out.
I’m over worrying because my mam in hospital really poorly which is making my dad a mess, we’ve just had a family death so this year been pretty crap so far.
Anyway is it to so much for me to say to my husband can you just come home earlier and not drink too much whilst I’m poorly and pregnant?
We are at a his friends wedding an hour away from home whilst I’m 38 plus 3 days pregnant and I asked not to drink so he could drive just in case n be a sober birthing partner. He was not happy that he couldn’t drink at his mates wedding! It’ll still be fun and can drink at the stag do which he’ll be away for! It’s just drink thanks all

No, he is.

I think unless he is doing this often then tab- a bit u.
I know you are anxious but sometimes we don’t realise the toll it takes on our partners too. Whilst you have the reassurance (although all of the hard bits too!) of feeling your baby, your husband has to take your word for it that baby is doing well.
I wouldn’t begrudge him the odd night out. I wouldn’t ask him not to drink either just not to get hammered.

Unless he's doing this alllll the time, I think you're being a bit unreasonable. Plenty women go through the same thing. It sounds like it's tough for you, but could you not "let" him have just one night?

Interested in this thread?

It’s not just once and with the wedding thing well I can’t drive so I’m relying on him and last labour was very traumatic so tbh I need him to be able to go anytime x
