Question by TTC#1 for 14 months…: Our first pregnancy and he dont understand!?
My hubby and I have been married for 2.5 years together for 5. We have been TTC for 2.5 years. I thought I was having more ovary problems as I missed to periods and was having cramping. I then had a week or terrible nausea. I decided to test. He wasnt so keen on testing at first bc he thought it would be negative. I explained to him that if its negative then we know its more ovarian problems. If its positive then thats explains a lot! He agreed. We tested and it was Postive! We were so happy we cried! He really wants a child as do I. We were 7.5 weeks then. I got treated like a QUEEN. Now I am 10.5 weeks and for the last week its been HELL! He does everything to go to appointments. We found out last Tuesday that I have Gest. Diabetes. He was actually mad at me. I made him read on it and explain to him that I COULD NOT PREVENT IT! I can keep it normal with diet and exercise. So then he was okay. My mom a nurse of 25 years also explained to him its not that bad. It will be fine as long as I watch my diet. I am tired. I puke I am nauseated. My back hurts. He doesnt get it! He will say your pregnant not disabled! I say I dont act disabled. Your laundry is still getting done, the house is clean, dishes are done. I do all the house chores. Except the lawn. I usually help but for crying out loud he owns his own lawn biz! He doesnt pick up after himself…I DO. If I ask him to pick up after himself he says i will do it later. It dont happen. I cook etc. But when I am tired he doesnt get it. Example. Yesterday I was really tired. It was his moms bday so we went to brunch at a casino, then boating, then we stayed up late then he goes werent you gonna make brownies. so i did. I am really tried today. I was supposed to go to a labor day parade with his mom and gma but i didnt bc i am tired. They knew last night that I wouldnt go today if i was tired. His mom understands shes been preg before. He made the comment to me “how nice of you to flake on them” I said I am tired. He didnt get it. His new thing is I should feel privileged to be carrying his kid. bc not every man would let me carry his child. Excuse me???? really? that hurts my feelings. I have to keep any mood swings to myself bc it will be a fight if i dont. He makes comments. If i ask him why he said that he will say O god dont start this s**t! Or shut the f**k up your gonna ruin my day! that hurts. If i cry he says its all my fault. Riding makes me nauseated and if I say something he says someones grouchy. I am not grouchy im sick. This morning i got up made his bfast got his medicine and had to run to the bathroom bc i was about to puke . I said your bfast is in the kitchen. He says someones grouchy I said no I am sick. If i try to point out that he hasnt been nice I get the reply your full of it. I am done. I have had it! he will say your having a mood swing calm down. I am calm I have to be. If I do raise my voice its hell to pay. Or he’ll say if you werent pregnant id beat your ass! Then theres once you have my baby i wont need you anymore! he was never like this b4. he says hes joking but i hear those comments frequently. I dont think its a joke. Also this morning after all that. He left with out saying good bye or i love you because i didnt got stand outside to watch him load his equipment. I also had to get his clean clothes out of the car this am. They are in the car because the baskets are heavy and he has yet to help me. But if i do go get the baskets he yells bc he doesnt want his baby hurt. He gets mad if i puke. Hes on me about what I eat. I am keeping a great diet. Like he doesnt trust me. But the he sits right in front of me having everything i cant. Okay fine. but could he at least be a little sympathetic? Or am i asking too much?
