How supportive is your DH/DP

All throughout this pregnancy I've yoyo'd on whether I believe my partner is being supportive or not. Most of the time I feel maybe I'm being unreasonable and a bit over emotional but tonight he really has got under my skin. I have been signed off with PGP. I'm in pain, I'm not sleeping, I'm uncomfortable and yet he has basically told me that he is worse off than me (labourer) more tired, more achy, more in pain. He won't help with the housework (I'm home after all), he won't help with dinner or the clear up. Then he is requesting massages. I've just told him I feel he doesn't really care etc and what I got back was "are you trying to wind me up?". I just feel like crap. I'm bored from no longer working (I miss my colleagues) and being home all day. He doesn't even want to talk to me and is on his phone to relax and unwind.

Sorry to rant, just feeling down and needed to vent. I feel like an inconvenience Sad

Sounds like you're both feeling attacked?maybe once your both calm sit down together and have a really good chat maybe he feels like hes unable to help you as he is so knackered but didn't word it correctly and hes not understanding your pain and discomfort I'm sure you love each other very much having a baby can raise emotions at the best of times. Have a good chat expressing what each of you want I'm sure you'll sort it xoxo
