I hate social media sometimes
I don't usually let social media get to me, but I'm pregnant so.. hormones.. lol
It makes me sad always seeing these husband's, boyfriends, etc, asking and making or buying whatever their pregnant wives are craving. I have to ask my husband to get me my cravings whether it be from the gas station up the road or just grabbing it from the fridge and it's usually met with some sort of complaining or a sigh.. he's been this way with all my pregnancies.. I usually end up eating them while crying because I'm made to feel bad about cravings I can't control or help. He's always like "why couldn't you ask earlier?" Like do you not know how cravings work??? If I wanted it earlier I would've asked EARLIER.
He's such a great husband/father in every way but he always seems like he doesn't care to understand how hard pregnancy can be.
Maybe it's the "false expectations" social media puts on everything, but there have to be men who are actually compassionate about pregnancy and do kind things like that in real life, right?

He takes care of me in other ways. He really does a lot with our kids to give me much needed breaks, he understands that much as far as needing breaks go. Last night, I was having a lot of braxton hicks from how the baby was laying and I needed to take a bath to relax so he completely managed the bedtime routine by himself so I could relax for an hour in the tub. Part of me thinks sometimes he's just oblivious?? But the other part of me is like, this is our 3rd time doing this so?? He also has stepped up a lot more with keeping the place clean, I see that he's TRYING in some areas but other areas like caring about my vulnerable side, he doesn't get.

Is he really a good father/husband if he’s not willing to take care of you during your most vulnerable & difficult phase of life ( creating, carrying until bringing that life into this world & then the rest of your life ) Some men say that a guy will show how he really feels when you’re pregnant & if he’s acted like this during all your pregnancies ? 🚩 My bd was a red flag during mine & still is a 🚩 years later since I’ve discovered he’s ticking all these narc boxes ( things started to click once I noticed the patterns from listening to similar stories from other victims )
