Unmanageable rage and Inompatible partner

I'm struggling beyond belief with pregnancy rage at just about everything, but the rage towards my partner is unmatched. He is intelligent in ways I am not and vice versa, but there is no overlapping intelligence whatsoever which has always made everyday interactions more of a struggle. His good qualities have always outweighed the bad by a mile, however now I simply cannot tolerate our differences to the point I am constantly blowing up - to give you an example, he completely lacks the ability to explain things normally. I could ask him to give you the colour of the sky and by the end of his answer I'd wonder if the sky even exists I'd be so confused, and his answer will change about 20 times after probing. It just escalates from there as I get even more confused and frustrated by either his changing answers or sudden inability to say anything other than 'yes' (to try and end the conversation), and then we get into a full blown argument and I end up feeling guilty by the time I've calmed down. I know it's total overreacting on my part but our brains work in the most opposite ways imaginable.

As I say this was tolerable in the past but now it is literally making me want to shake him and ask him what is wrong with him! I'm well aware pregnancy hormones are the villain here but I'm at a total loss as to how I will get through another 7 months like this. I can't even be in the same room as him half the time. What can I even do to fix this temporary situation as it's definitely not fair on him but it's killing me inside??

Oh I feel this. My partner who is great in lots of ways very creative and excellent at DIY, but lacks basic common sense at times. Like when I ask him why things aren't done like dishwasher emptied he says no one asked me 😡Also I can't control my rage towards him things I'd have let go before I just explode
