It’s an AIBU but everyone in AIBU will tell me my husband is a dick and that I should run for the hills...

Probably hormones but I’m really fucking offended and need to vent!!

I made a comment earlier how I couldn’t wear my usual bra as it hurts so I have a bikini top on which is nice and stretchy. This came off later on in the day as we’re just having a chilled afternoon and then I commented how I needed a bigger bra as my boobs have grown.

Then he goes in waffling some spiel how women should always wear bras otherwise they get saggy boobs (bare in mind I haven’t worn a bra to walk the dogs for the last week as I have been off work). I laughed and assured him that give it a year or so with pregnancy and breastfeeding I’m sure they will get a little saggy all on their own! And just kind of laughed it off and that was that.

Subject came up again as I had to put bra on and to go to the front door as I was wearing a vest top. And he said about keeping it on after. I then said ‘oh heaven forbid your favourite feature does south!!’ which he didn’t like at all and sorta replied with ‘well, exactly!’, basically I just wanted to leave it there as I could feel tensions rising, so it ended with ‘ok do what you want.... it’s like now you’re pregnant you just want to give up’. I asked him ‘Give up on what?!’ and he said ‘everything’ and we’ve been silent since. Like what the fuck does that even mean?!? I am only 6 weeks and we have only known just over 2 weeks, first baby for both. Diet/exercise hasn’t changed so I’m guessing his comment about me ‘giving up’ is entirely based on the fact I don’t want to wear a bra At the moment because my boobs are sore?!

I am sat here with a lump in my throat as I am typing sat next to him. I just want to cry at him for now upset that comment made me feel but I don’t know if I am over-reacting.

Anyone have any thoughts? What can I even say to that?!

Okay I’m going to be honest, try and keep your bra on and if it’s too painful then get a larger size that supports your growing boobs. I say this because in my first pregnancy I whipped my bra off and left it off for a long period of time due to my painful boobs and it’s my biggest regret. The results after I gave birth were absolutely horrendous. I went from nice perky b cups to a pair of jugs. I know if I supported them well during pregnancy they wouldn’t have been half as bad.

Now onto your partner, I think he has the wrong delivery style but what he’s actually saying, if said nicely and lovingly, has some sense in it x
