To be so irritated by my partner in the first Trimester that I...

Ok, I've read all the blogs that say I will want to kill him for breathing but I'm not sure it's just down to hormones.

I've not felt irritated by him before I got pregnant but since I've been about 4 weeks in (currently 9 weeks) I cannot stand to be around him. I just want to be alone EVERY EVENING, me and whatever random food I craved that day. I don't want to talk about how I'm feeling, I don't want to ask him about his day, nothing. AIBU for being so pissed off or is it actually the hormones, please help before I make myself a single pregnant person!

Oh I've been there, definitely the hormones, I remember my DH just sat on the sofa watching tv and me staring at him thinking I could hit him for just breathing (never been a violent person in my life and obviously didn't hit him) but for some reason he made me furious. Luckily went away in the third trimester

Oh thank you! I had started to forget why I ever loved him 😂. Honestly, even the nice things he does piss me off so much!

My husband repulsed me in the first trimester. He even smelt bad to me even though he hadn't changed his hygiene routine or anything. It blew over and were still friends 4 kids later 😅

Is he not being particularly nice or something? I remember being irrationally annoyed with mine for drinking wine in my first trimester, I really wanted to kill him for it, I found it so insensitive. Lol. But he did loads of nice stuff for me too which kept him alive.

I'm not sure! I want to spend every evening shut in the bedroom being left in peace, and half of the time I find everything DH does intensely irritating (I'm 26 weeks...)

But it's not just because of his breathing or his mere existence! He will do something inconsiderate or not do something as promised, etc and it really bothers me, I have zero patience or ability to let things slide. Sometimes it all builds up and I just really dislike him and consider moving out!

He couldn't be doing more honestly! Cooking, washing, shopping, buying me a lovely candle today. But yet, me, still irrational! We've talked about it and he's read the books. I was just worried that this was it, how I'd feel forever!

Completely! Oh I would say I'd jump on the first thing he promised and didn't follow through!

First trimester here (3rd baby, 5th pregnancy) genuinely each time after the 1st I've known to take a pregnancy test because I cannot stand my husband. Everything about him irritates me. His smell, the way he chews...I'm clenching my teeth thinking about him upstairs.

I also love him dearly 😂

I thought mine was repugnant in every way - he once smiled at me and said 'good morning' and I thought 'wipe that smile off your face you disgusting pr@ck!' 😆 I promise it's hormones and exhaustion! X

@Teacherprebaby The feelings get much better in the second trimester. Or at least mine did. Some days I am more in love with him than ever because he's been so wonderful, I've seen a different side of him.

Some days I hate him AND everyone else because pregnancy is so miserable and uncomfortable and I don't know why 1) men don't have to do it and 2) some of us have it so much worse than others.

CountryMumof4 · 20/06/2024 23:25

All pretty normal - try not to worry! Your feelings will either dissipate during pregnancy or when your baby is born. And then you'll wonder how on earth you despised him! Think of it as being particularly bad PMT. I absolutely hated two different people during my first two pregnancies and they were people I suddenly wanted to see the most after my children were born.

Thank you all! He's just asked if I want coffee, no I want you to f**k off and give me some space 😂 poor man.
