Just need a bit of handholding

[Lula2515]

Just need a bit of a release on here... Totally not sure if I'm overreacting or going crazy from hormones anymore!
Been arguing with my DP for a while now. It seems to me like its always him (I'm sure it's not). But he keeps telling me that everything I do annoys him.
He's stressed with work at the moment and I totally understand that, and have tried to be supportive- have his dinner ready, iron his shirts, keep the house clean even though I work 4days a week too.
I tried to change some things that he said was annoying him, e.g. I had woken him up from naps a couple of times and that annoyed him so the other day I let him sleep and he was annoyed I didn't come and wake him with a cuddle, accusing me of being unfriendly and being weird suddenly changing my behaviours.
I know that sounds silly and little but I feel like I can't do anything right.
I got a bit upset yesterday watching obem with him when one guy was comforting his partner during a contraction and my DP's response was "don't expect me to be that supportive!" I know it's partly the hormones but I felt really sad.
Oh god this is long and rambly and I'm sure I sound ridiculous, thank you for reading x

Sorry, I've just read how hormonal and ridiculous this all sounds. I'm clearly overreacting. I think I just had this lovely notion of being cherished and looked after when pregnant which is slightly different from real life!

Well hes is wrong! A real man should help out and not winge about little things! How dare he say dont expect me to be that supportive! Thays just cruel in my opinion. Ive grown up in life where my dad helped my mum out no end and still worked. She had my autistic brothers to deal with and my dad used to stay with me when i was poorly wich i was alot and still get up erly for work and come home and help. And i have a very supportive hubby too now and is insisting on doing everything so i get some rest afterwards.(woch isnt gonna happen lol i cant stand not doing anything for too long i have to be active!) Whats he gonna be like when the baby does arrive? Or if your hospitalized for a few nights and hes with baby at home? He will still have to do everything and get on with things as its life!

I don't think you sound ridiculous. I think your dp is being selfish. Yes it is important to support each other when one is going through a tough time but you need supporting too even more when you are growing and carrying his child. You should be loved and nurtured not expected to wait on him hand and foot and you should get to nap too. You are the pregnant one!!!

If it's any consolation, I'm massively irritated by my partner at the moment too. I'm just putting it down to hormones and maybe fear of the unknown (for both of us). Going to set up a part of the house as a football free zone tomorrow, and just enjoy my last few months of me time... trying really hard not to let things bug me. Zen maaaaaan...
