DH just being horrible

We've all been poorly, including toddler, none of us sleeping particularly well and I'm having a difficult pregnancy so far.

But DH is just being horrible. He is so snappy with me, just zero patience, zero affection (he's not affectionate at the best of times which I'm just used to by now) but where I've been unwell and still done everything I can to endure a special Christmas and I don't know what's happened to him but he's just absolutely miserable.

I am struggling to determine if I'm being more sensitive than normal. Perhaps hormones? Or whether he really is just being horrible. He just seems to be huffing and puffing constantly moaning at me. Grumpy, no fun and just creating a horrible environment,

He blames me and always turns it in to being my fault but I genuinely am just trying to be happy and chirpy and stay out of his way to be honest.

I just feel so sad. Felt like crying tonight in front of my toddler when he snapped at me again. :-(

Hopeful bump... wondering if any other pregnant ladies are experiencing the same 😔

Really not, so I’m sorry he’s being so hirr

Really not, sorry he’s being so horrible. Have you asked why he’s being such a dick? Is it new behaviour since you got pregnant? The general lack of affection isn’t something I’d be happy with but it sounds like he’s got worse?

Sorry to hear that @cluedo41 .
Sounds like a lot of stress - illness, toddler, pregnancy, Christmas - hopefully you are all just tired and fed up, and he is handling it badly.

I hope the New Year brings better times. Don't pander to his bad mood, find other things to do that make you happy.

No I don't think your being oversensitive because your pregnant he sounds horrible. Is he acting like this because your pregnant or is he always this nasty? Maybe sit him down and ask him what's going on with him, is he worried about having another baby maybe?

Not unreasonable at all, you're trying to keep the show on the road and he's being far from helpful.
How far along are you? Not an excuse, but men can be a bit dense about the needs of their pregnant partner until the bump makes it impossible to ignore...
