Is my partner emotionally abusive

Hi everyone,

I'm currently 32 weeks pregnant and in a five year relationship with the father of my unborn child. For the most part he has been supportive throughout my pregnancy and has started helping me out with tasks that are starting to get physically difficult. However the one thing that I noticed has gotten worse recently is the way he makes me feel emotionally. He is always criticising everything I do, for example if I make dinner then there's always something I did wrong and he will tell me I'm useless etc. He also makes me feel bad about the fact that I'm at home a lot of the time whilst he is working full time. He tells me I'm lazy and that I don't contribute anything (even though I pay a much larger contribution of our rent/bills than him because I earn more). He makes me feel so low during these times but then other times is the most loving, doting partner I could ask for. I really don't know if it's my pregnancy hormones making me feel worse or if this is wrong. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

You earn more than him, cook meals to keep him alive and are using your precious body to grow another human and he has the nerve to criticise you? The guy is a knob of the highest order who resents your abilities and is trying to drag you down in order to build himself up.
Your best move would be to take the advice of the wise mners and plan to make a new, happier and more confident life with just your new baby.

@felulageller

Get out before the baby is born and don't let him be on the birth certificate.
This is so so important and will protect you and your child in the long run x
