Feeling ineffectual
My husband is spending more time cleaning and managing things while the first trimester kicks my ass and I just feel like another chore and he feels under appreciated because while he helps with all the things I’m struggling with I’m feeling neglected rather than showing gratitude… any advice

I’m in the same boat. I just try to make a point to thank him as much as possible. But also realize there will be days that he’s able to give 0% and I will have to give 200%. A relationship is all about balance in the long term and there’s going to be times you’re unable to give an equal amount of effort on a task. My boyfriend makes it known to me that he appreciates the sacrifices I’m making to create our child and feels helping out with my half of chores is a way he can give back to me. This will pass eventually. Hang in there💜
Hey girl! Im so sorry you are going through this feeling. My advice is to 1) seek therapy and talk to him about how you feel, and 2) spend time together doing things that fill BOTH your tanks. Even if it's a movie date at home or something. also consider that him dealing with his emotions is part of growing this baby ☺️☺️
