ok, so I am very emotional, moody and aggressive at the moment because I have come of my mental health medication and am pregnant and am taking steroids, the perfect storm of hormones and chemicals. This means I find myself shouting at my husband a lot for trivial things (he has eaten the last packet of crisps, he has not made me a coffee in the morning, he has not done the washing up after I have cooked etc…) overall he is pretty well trained but these little things wind me up and I just snap. I often say he is horrible, or discussing but generally try not to call him names, though with my hightend emotions and poor mental health at the moment I behave pretty badly a fair amount of the time.

The problem is this, when I have a go at him about these different things, he will often get wound up and call me crazy. He has told me to f’off a few times and even called me an idiot. I appreciate that I often start this but he seems to think that I should be less worried about his behaviour and more focused on trying to change my behaviour. He upsets me when he reacts like that and trying to get a handle on what is fair.he said he will try to stop calling me names when I get like that but it’s not enough,

Have you discussed all this with your GP? It doesn’t sound like your MH/behaviour is going to cope well with the stresses of a new baby.

Maybe some adjustments to medication might help?

I can't believe you're bringing a baby into this shit show. What on earth were you thinking?

You are choosing to behave like this. You cannot blame hormones and drugs for your behaviour. You are choosing to be abusive.
You need to think about coping strategies for when you feel angry because shouting and name calling is not ok.

Well we have been together for 15 years and this only really happens when I come off my medication. Basically if I start something he finishes it much harsher then me
