Anyone else been fighting with their OH all day?

[Comps83]

I know it’s both of us
Baby was due yday . We are both bored and treading on eggshells around each other . DH is getting impatient and keeps snapping at me, I over react, it blows out of proportion. We make up . It happens again a few hours later . Repeat.
Think he’s really missing having an Xmas drink and this is probably a big part of it. He should try going without for 9 months !

It’s nerves and stress - both of you are facing a big change in your lives.
Not sure why he can’t have a bit of a drink, though.
Hang on in there and good luck in the next phase of your life.

maybe because he would have to drive her to the hospital?

Are you "over -reacting" or are you actually appropriately annoyed with him for treating you poorly and at such a vulnerable time?

When did this sulky, punishy behaviour begin?

How dare he get shitty with you because he can't have a drink at Christmas (is he normally dependent on alcohol to enjoy himself?) ... when you are heavily pregnant and could be going through childbirth at any time.

How dare he.

how dare he

What the actual fuck do people post here sometimes? A couple infers stress, yes one admittedly under physical stress, are snapping at each other. Neither is a saint, both are human. Jesus Christ.

Infers = under

She's in the late stages of pregnancy, he wants a drink.

In the order of needs, he's nowhere.

DH is getting impatient and keeps snapping at me

This is not acceptable behaviour, less so at a heavily pregnant woman.

It's not normal to be snappy because you can't drink. So if this is why he's snapping he needs to look at his relationship with alcohol.

If it’s any consolation DH and I had big unnecessary squabble in Tescos, just hours before DS was born.
Anxiety and hormones don’t mix well!
Good luck I hope all goes well. You’ll soon be on cloud nine with a beautiful baby.

Yeah he’s always been a big drinker
I don’t think it’s just the sobriety though
We usually go away for Xmas but this year we obvs need to be close to the hospital .
I think we both might have a bit of cabin fever despite going out for a walk this morning

Unless directly linked to inability to drink it could be anything - cabin fever, sense of impending anxiety, both people under stress, absolutely anything. If there is a broader back story of ill treatment or any other back story that’s a different thing of course. Christmas is an intense period - we are expecting a baby in January too - alongside a 4 year old already climbing the walls. Getting out and about is different than when it’s summer. A fair bit of claustrophobia and cabin fever going on here too. Sometimes I am in a mood. Sometimes my spouse is. Sometimes we both are. Sometimes the 4 year old is. These things happen. Nobody is a rock and everyone is human. I do not expect my spouse to be 100% super smiley and 100% supportive 100% of the time. I am not. I sulk on occasion. I detest low daylight seasons. I lose my temper on occasion. Everyone is human.
