So mad at DH - could it be hormones? VENT

I'm been sooooo mad and annoyed wiith DS lately. I actually sometimes feel like I hate him - not nice I know... We have DC 18 months old and I'm 14 wks pregnant with our second child. I've been very worried and stressed about so much. We recently moved, I need to find a new job (because my drive is crazy), DH works two jobs and I have a toddler and I'm pregnant. I understand that DH works a lot - I know that but when he's home it's like he's not home. I feel like the only time he's nice to me or gives me attention is when he wants something *(wink wink).

I just see woman who have super supportive husbands that are so in tune with their needs and I don't have that. He never asks if I want a drink or do I need anything from the store. He doesn't even ask me how I'm feeling. There are days I wonder why I'm having a second child with this person when I don't even like him. Again, I'm not sure if the hormones are making me not like him even more. I just feel so sad.

Thanks for taking the time to read this ramble.

Definately sounds like you have a lot on your plate. Its normal to be angry at the one person who got you here- your DH. A lot of this can be the hormones but I also think its just everything you have going on right now. I would talk to your DH about how upset you are feeling and that its not easy to be pregnant, looking for a new job and handling a toddler. I am sure he is just overwhelmed with his stuff going on that he doesn't even know what you are going through.

Oh, and I would love to know who this in tune DH is that responds to all his wife's needs without being told. Have you seen this man on a sitcom or something? Because I have yet to meet a DH who doesn't need to be TOLD when you you need some help.

Hang in there and start giving yourself a break and speaking up about what you need. Of course you are going to resent your DH- you need him to give you a hand. But first he needs to know this.
