I was not sure whether this belongs in relationships or pregnancy and hope I have made the correct choice.
I have been married to DH for 2 years (was with him several years until we got married) and am 8 months pregnant. Lately I just feel so overwhelmed by everything and feel like leaving him. I have sat myself down and just feel that he puts all his stress onto me which in turn makes me feel overwhelmed, which then makes me feel that I would be better off without him and his stress.
We both have stressful jobs and are both going through difficult patches at work. Although we are both reasonably mid/high earners we have had so many outgoings in the last few months that we have very little in savings. I had a moment today when I looked at him and thought I would be better off without him because at least I only have the stress of my job to deal with and not his too!
I am posting here to get some perspective, I am wondering if it is pregnancy hormones that is making me feel like this. We had a chat last week about my maternity leave and came to the conclusion that I need to be back at work within 3 months as financially we cannot afford me not to at this stage.
I must add that he does more than his fair share of housework, is very loving and kind, etc. I have no reason to leave him at all, I suppose I just feel so stressed at the moment I really just want a break from it.
