Rude Husband during pregnancy

10 replies

My husband has always been pretty rude e arrogant, despite being a good person/father. We have always had a lot of arguments during the 5 years we've been together for.
He's incapable of admitting fault or apologize. I have always put up with that, although I'm very vocal, which usually culminates in big fights.
For some reason, I thought that he's be a little different now that I'm pregnant, but I was very wrong. Me being pregnant and emotional doesn't stop him from being rude and give me the attitude a lot of times. He always blames me for our fights and like I said, is incapable of admitting his errors....

Anyone else went through that? I am trying all i can to keep my cool, because of such special phase I'm in, and also cause I don't want to stress my baby out too.
Just not sure what to do. Talking to him is completely useless...

I'm concerned how you're going to handle a new baby with what sounds like a complete arse for a husband.

Rude & arrogant don't equal a good person in my book but maybe that's just me!

It's who he is, external factors aren't going to change that unfortunately.

Honestly sounds like u need some kind of relationship therapy.

He doesn't sound like a great husband if he's rude and arrogant towards you, though.

You've described your husband as rude, arrogant, incapable of admitting fault and unapologetic.

Why did you think your pregnancy would change him?

Pregnancy often makes such men worse.

You can't change him if he doesn't want to, you can only change what you're willing to accept for yourself.

He doesn't sound like a good person and if he's making the mother of his life so difficult and putting her down then he's not a good father either.

Without context we can't really judge his behaviour or yours.
Maybe try some marriage counselling.

Topseyt · 10/07/2021 18:28

Why are you with him and putting up with being treated like shit?

girlmom21 · 10/07/2021 18:30

How many kids do you already have? Surely you already knew pregnancy wouldn't change him?

OatyBarKid · 10/07/2021 18:38

Why did you think he would change because you're pregnant? It doesn't sound like a healthy situation for any of you to be in.

So... I have a friend with a husband who sounds similar to yours. They have two kids. He didn't change his difficult behaviour one iota. They are considering divorce, less than one year after the youngest arrived.

Look, it's not that everyone on this thread is doom and gloom for no reason. It's that a new baby is incredibly hard, kids are incredibly hard, and you need a partner who supports you. He's telling you who he is - don't assume that a baby will change a thing. And his inability to admit fault sounds like he doesn't think he needs to change. It doesn't sound like he wants to.

I think you may need to figure out what Plan B is if you need an alternative family unit e.g. how close are you (geog and emotionally) to your parents or siblings?
