Looking for some unbiased views here please!
I’m in a subsequent pregnancy and getting emotional a lot, partly due to feeling like my partner is annoyed with me the whole time.
just my side of the story but we had a stressful Christmas with a toddler being poorly, my parents are older (one just diagnosed week before Xmas with cancer) so the day felt different and when I tried to help them prepare the meal, my partner would complain I wasn’t helping with our toddler but then also snapped at me later for being so hungry (I didn’t answer my phone when he tried to call my to ask for some food to be taken to him while he walked with our sleeping toddler outside).
we then went to spend NY with his family and it was hard. I won’t go into the details but needless to say, he struggled emotionally so I was trying to support him and give lots of encouraging affirmations and pep talks in private. We made it through and tbh he wasn’t ever that annoyed with me during that trip, more so his own family.
now we’re back he asked me to chase up a class we are trying to book for our toddler to start attending. They’ve not been that responsive to say the least, so he asked me to take over chasing them. I stupidly resubmitted the registration form not realising he had done that and when I told him I had contacted them with it, he shouted at me saying why did I do that, and get involved, not just chase up on his email thread. I said I didn’t think it was as big a deal as he was making out but he shut down and just said he’s leaving it all to me now.
Im in my third trimester so I keep getting emotional when these outbursts happen because he was never like this before and I begin to question if I’m happy or not.
so looking for some thoughts on whether this is maybe just normal and I’m over reacting because of being pregnant!! 😅 I’m sure these things are probably trivial!
