Would love to find other people going through this. We both have our own places and had planned to sell them and buy somewhere jointly at the end of this year, when we found out I was pregnant.
We stay at one of our homes together at the weekend but during the week we live separately and don’t really see each other till the end of the week.
It’s always been that way and worked well
for us but now I’m finding it really isolating. I’m dealing with morning sickness, exhaustion, the usual first trimester worries, and he’s just at home living his normal life.
He’s sympathetic but isn’t really sure what to do. It doesn’t help that the pregnancy hormones have turned me from my usual calm self to something akin to the Incredible Hulk at his most angry (he’s probably relieved he doesn’t live with me 😂).
Every time he goes off to work on a Monday morning and we return to our separate lives, I feel like shit, which is generally where the bad mood comes from. We seem to have a weekly Monday morning argument because I feel this way.
I hate that we don’t go back to the same home at the end of the work day. I feel like it’d make things much better. It’s not practical for now though.
Anyone else going through this or been through it?
