Am I wrong

Hello everyone I hope you’re okay. Sorry, it’s a long one ❤️.

I needed a space to share how I’m feeling. This is my first post so please go easy on me lol. I have a baby, I’m going through postnatal depression but I’m out of the worst of it. I need to know if I’m going crazy.

  1. Am I unreasonable for telling my partner he has no right to pressurise me into selling the car I own, that he pays absolutely nothing towards - a car I owned long before I knew him?
  2. Am I unreasonable for saying his mother cannot move in with us, into our small home with our child because she’s lonely (she is healthy going through a heartbreak) I sympathise but she isn’t someone I could live with.
  3. Am I unreasonable for saying that I need to prioritise spending time with my Mum a day after she just had a mild heart attack, versus keeping his Mum company after a heartbreak - while he goes on holiday with his mates?
  4. Am I unreasonable for saying I don’t feel comfortable having his guy friends stay with us for a week when we have a 5 month old and I’m struggling to breastfeed and I have postnatal depression?
  5. Am I unreasonable for getting angry at him because he volunteered me to look after our neighbours child (because she needs free childcare) while I work a stressful job, I’m struggling with postnatal depression - and I had to go back to work sooner than I wanted because he needed financial help - is that inconsiderate of me?
  6. Was it unreasonable of me to get upset after his mother threw away a gift from a friend of mine, in my home because she said it looked old (she did this after I said she couldn’t move in)

I know these issues seem minor but let me know your thoughts ❤️❤️❤️

Ask to move this to AIBU. I imagine you'll get 100% support. You are not unreasonable about any of these examples.
Might I suggest that your mental health might inprove if you leave this extremely unsupportive dick head of a partner and as a bonus, not have to see his mum either

And none of these issues are minor in my opinion. They're all individually a big deal and create a picture of a tricky situation for you. Relationships might be another board option, tucked away in antenatal health you might be over looked

You are not wrong on any of these points.
