Just had a meltdown over tonight's dinner....

Just had a complete meltdown over tonight's dinner and now I need a hand to hold, or some sense knocking into me if I've been completely unreasonable.

29wks pg with twins. I'm huge. I have a 2yo son, am still at work full time, I have SPD, absolute debilitating exhaustion, suffering from migraines and nausea, I'm uncomfortable and generally a bit hormonal (but this is the first time I've let DH see me cry because he gets angry if I do)

Anyway, I've been in bed with a migraine for a few hours this afternoon, DH took DS to the beach. After some strong anti-sickness meds and painkillers I'm feeling a bit better albeit a little woozy and still bloody exhausted! So I said to DH I couldn't be bothered cooking dinner tonight (I'm the 'head chef' of the household, in 5 years he's cooked for me around 4/5 times) and was going to order Chinese food. He complained that I was throwing money away (fair point) and that it was unreasonable to have take away for dinner 2 nights in a row (also a very fair point). So I told him I wouldn't order and he said 'no problem, I'll just grab something for myself later.'
I replied that I would quite like to eat at some point today too, so could I have something and he said 'well you'd better order Chinese food then!'
I tried to speak to him and find out why he was happy to cook for himself but wouldn't make his heavily pregnant wife some dinner when I have been ill all afternoon, but I just ended up getting upset and broke down in tears.

How hard is it to make someone something do eat!?
Reading this back I appreciate it sounds ridiculous but I'm so upset.

He gets angry when you cry? Ok so nobody can really comment on a relationship other than the 2 people who are in it, but that isn't nice. You can't help your hormones!

I cried about peeling a mushroom today. And my OH has spent hours looking up GD friendly recipes since I managed to get that and spent ages tonight making me a chunky minestrone bean soup stew. Yours should be doing similar stuff - it's hard to see how he can justify not doing, in your condition. Really hope he grows up and starts helping you!
