Feel guilty for feeling annoyed with DH!

DH has been absolutely fabulous since I fell pregnant. He's looked after me when I've felt ill, let me sleep when I've been unbelievably tired and taken over jobs that I never expected him to but he's just done it. To be honest, I really don't know what I would have done without him. But, I hate it that I have to sit there on a Friday and Saturday night watching him have drinks and get a little squiffy! He's only doing what we would do most weekends after work but I am finding it really annoying. I would never ask him to stop as at the end of the day he's not the one who's pg and why shouldn't he have a few drinks at the weekend? I hate that it annoys me so I just bring myself to bed and let him get on with it.

Sorry to waffle, not really expecting any advice but just had to vent a wee bit. x

I feel exactly the same. DH is fantastic and looking after me so well, but it really annoys me when he has a few too many. Just jealous, I guess, that it feels like he's still living our old life and I am already into our new one! Right now he's out with our friends. I was with them earlier but they then wanted to go to a very busy bar. DH and BIL walked me home then went back out on my encouragement. Now I'm cross that he's still out...!! He's just texted to say he'll be home soon, and I reply with 'You should stay out and make the most of being without parental responsibility'! Ah, I really don't help myself! Xmas Wink

I think being pregnant gives you the right to be unreasonably sulky at the OH. Or at least I hope it does. Luckily for me I've never been much of a drinker anyway but I still get unreasonably annoyed that he has a drink every now and again. I even get annoyed at him for working too hard and not being able to spare me 10 minutes out of his 13 hour shift to have a conversation with me although I know that if he wasn't run off his feet he would spare me that time.

Sometimes it just doesn't seem fair that I have to suffer and he gets off easy - then I consider how hard I am to live with at the moment. This morning I sat on the sofa next to him and cried and when he asked me why I was crying I told him that I didn't know, he genuinely looked distressed at the fact I was upset and he couldn't make it go away or even understand it.
