Anyone have a husband who isn't being very understanding?


I don't know if it's hormones or what but I feel like my husband is being a real douchebag most of the time. Isn't it their job to make sure we're happy and content and fed and rested and all that? My husband literally just yelled at me because I asked him to go to the store and get me a sprite and a loaf of bread because I wanted a tuna salad sandwich. I didn't ask him to make it for me, I just wanted him to get the damn bread. He has been bitchy everytime I've asked him to do anything!

Ah hun. Sounds horrible! No matter what they say - were the ones actually going through allt he symptoms and tiredness. They can't even imagine how we feel! My hubby keeps forgeting im pregnant im sure cause I have to keep saying -um can you do this cause i shouldn't really and he's like 'oh yeah'! Maybe he's a bit techy at the moment waiting for friday?? Hope he comes to his senses and is a bit more loving to you soon though!
I think once we actually start showing a bump they will be more attentive then!
You know what men are like - no imagination and can't think about things unless its stareing them in the face!!! xxxxxx

I totally understand how you feel!!... My OH seems like a completely different person since i got pregnant!! He just seems to be less helpful more argumentative and generally disinterested in the pregnancy... hence why i ended up on a pregnancy forum!

It's such a contrast to what i expected from him... as this is his first child and something he really wanted!

He actually does less for me and around the house then he did before our BFP!!

You're right...I do try to cut him some slack because of the fact that he isn't experiencing it and I'm sure it's more of he probably CAN'T understand rather than he won't TRY to understand...but there is some stuff that he should be doing anyway, regardless of me being pregnant or not...and the fact that I am pregnant and a wee bit hormonal just makes me get MORE angry. For example, yesterday was mother's day...tell me why I was catering to him all day instead of the other way around? Stuff like that gets me mad!

OOF!!!! that makes me so ANGRY!!!!

I almost feel like crying (yes, yes it the hormones)...

I'll give him a beat down. send him to me. I suppose i'm super lucky that my OH is a little TOO supportive (haha! I can still walk around without injuring myself honey!!!! yes i can carry a handbag without it hurting the foetus...) but I don't see him 5 days a week since he works away but even when I didn't believe i could possible be fatigued as I was only in my fifth week and started falling asleep everywhere (which I'm still doing as it's only been a week!!!!) he's been so loving about it all. It makes my blood boil to hear about men (and i use that term loosely) who are not taking care of the mothers of their unborn children.

The way a man treats his woman (and i know this from the fact my dad was a shithead and I don't mind saying it) sets up a child's expectations on life.

I was reading some stuff online and there was this yahoo post which said that men get into nesting/caring mode and boys don't. I realise that sounds harsh but its simply about having the ability and maturity to care and also the attitude to handle responsibility. Count yourself lucky if you're the one who doesn't have to carry or give birth to the child.

anyway, this is a very angry post and I add the disclaimer that I am an emotional rollercoaster right now.
