Angry with DH and can't seem to move forward.

That's it really.

Had DH's family over at the weekend and ended up in bed with horrid cramping underneath and exhaustion ay 6m pregnant.

Other than MIL they did nothing, BIL is taxing at the best of times but he was particularly horrid this weekend and the rest did the 'Anything you want help with?' but really just wanted to watch the athletics (glad we went to all the fecking effort and expense).

Anyway had a bit of a rant at DH about it - he was good, gave me a cuddle and has been lovely since although got a bit cross I pointed out his brothers failings and then said 'Well if some people think passing you their empty plate is all the help they need to give and don't think they even have to make a cup of tea then no, we will not be doing Christmas' He sort of said 'Well that's what I am saying'.

BUT I cannot get past feeling really let down with him for allowing them to treat me like this. He said 'Shall we have nice cuddle tonight' when I was speaking to him when he was at work yesterday but I feel so wound up inside that all I could manage was to not jump away from him when he went to cuddle me in bed.

I have had a hard time at work recently and am counting the days until I go on maternity leave and think I am just overly emotional but I really don't know how to let this go.

DH is lovely, good dad, great husband, never puts me under any pressure, is very supportive and generally we have no issues - this is just eating me up though.

An ideas?

Have a hug, love, you sound like you need it.

I've been SO intolerant of DH/DM/the world since being PG. Also, no one else knows how you're feeling whilst pg, so tell them. Don't suffer in silence.
I know loads of people who are too scared to say 'sit down, I'll do that', as they have had their heads bitten off by the 'I'm pregnant not disabled/sick' brigade. If you want to be looked after, you have to tell people, as weird as it might sound!
Hope you feel better soon.

And if you can find a better way of doing it than letting it all build up, and snapping 'you are a fucking bunch of lazy bastards' (or something even ruder!), then that might be best too .

Thanks chaps.

It is probably just hormones but the BIL who I dislike is so fecking PC except where it comes to me being expected to wait on him because I have a womb!

Ha ha, I can just imagine the stunned silence if I let rip and said what I wanted to!

Aww it just sounds like you're fed up! Your dh sounds lovely so doubt you're really mad at him he's just the easiest one to focus it all on. I think you just need to tell people you're knackered so help yourselves to drinks and snacks, and wash up when you're done if you don't mind! It's the one time in life you can get away with it so why not! x
