Am I being too harsh?

my husband comes home last night was super happy, we had a lovely cuddle on the sofa I said I didn’t want sex.
then when I went to bed he proceeded to say “it’s crazy so many couples break up in the first year of a baby being born”
I asked what does he mean then he proceeded to say oh I am just saying.
I was like ok so I went back to playing my monopoly go on my phone. Then he goes and starts saying how he is miserable even before our son is born. We don’t cuddle anymore.
he then states he wants to go to the gym to work on himself and feel better for his mental health and have something he wants to do.

now I give him lots of chill out time, he has a bath every night he chills in there for 20 mins while I look after our son even though I have done all day.

weekend just gone he washed his car. I ended up having to wash the dogs and look after our son.
we went swimming the three of us and he said he would do the cooking as he loves cooking makes him happy. So I ended up having a shower with our son watching me as I couldn’t leave him on his own as he was irritable.

Now I don’t appreciate him saying he has nothing for himself when he has all that time. I have no time for myself during the day. I interact and play with our son then, when he has his nap he only naps for 20mins so in that 20mins I do housework. So I really never have a break.
also we don’t have money at the moment, I don’t even have money to buy a correctly fitting bra and I am very unhappy in myself because of it. But we need to pay bills so I get on with it. Yet he can go and get a gym membership.

I just feel I want to leave because I can’t make him happy anymore and it’s so much pressure on me and he doesn’t appreciate half of what I do for him. Am I being too harsh?

He is abusive!!!

He's saying he will break up with you if you don't have sex with him

You're not the harsh or mean person here

He's trying to manipulate you into having sex when you don't want to, by implying he will leave you if he doesn't get it. The gym thing is him just flapping about trying to get something else off you. He sounds a bit horrible tbh.
