I'm 38 weeks pregnant and feeling really well. Pregnancy is going very well but DP is just annoying me with his constant list of things he wants to do.
Basically there's a few things going on. Where we live is not bad we have a beautiful home which we've been happy in for about 5 years now. But for the past year we've wanted to move. It doesn't happen often but noisy people walking by at the weekend wakes us up - it's not a major problem but DP lets it get to him quite a lot. Now he's adamant we need to move.
Our car is on finance, its going to take a few years to clear it but we can afford it - not a problem at all. Coupled with how much the whole house moving idea annoys him, this also gets to him, he doesn't want to pay it anymore but wants to save for a house deposit instead. I love our car, we bought it due to baby coming as its bigger etc and suits us brilliantly.
He also wants to buy a new bike to go to work on, but then doesn't want to sell the one he already has... and so it goes on.
We're going to be first-time parents in the next couple of weeks and this constant want for everything right now rather than waiting is absolutely driving me mental! I've got to get my head around becoming a mum and I need his support, not his sulky face. There's nothing wrong with our lives and we're really fortunate to be in such a good financial position, have a nice home and a nice car etc. Things really are great but he just can't seem to shift these ideas. I've always been very patient and waited for the things I want in life, I think maybe he's had it too easy which contributes to these feelings he's having.
It sounds like a rant but I guess I just want some advice on how to approach the situation without sounding like a cow. I want to tell him to be grateful for what we have rather than wanting to change everything but I can't think of how to go about it. Help! xx
