Do you feel like he could be anxious about being a dad which is manifesting into this behaviour? When we found out we were expecting my DH all of a sudden became really obsessed with our finances and that we have to stop āwasting moneyā also was stressy/ nitpicking about stupid things in the house and with his job. He is ok now but I think he felt worried about the responsibility of looking after me and the baby.
@Anusha thank you love. Iām going to make the suggestion to him and see what he thinks x
@Amy Iāve been thinking maybe that is his problem. We are having a daughter and I know he was super scared about having a girl at first but I thought he had got over it. Maybe not. Thank you for your help. Glad everything is well for you now xx
You are not a burden lovely! Iām sorry youāre having to go through this, and that too alongside being pregnant which is already such a challenging phase in your life. I can understand youāre also feeling isolated seeing as you mentioned your husband is your main support too. The break away to your mums might do you both some good, so perhaps give that a go and see how you feel with the time away? It might give you the headspace to think about coming back and having an open conversation about how youāre feeling and what you need right now, and also opening the floor to him to open up as itās possible heās been triggered by something and doesnāt know how to voice it but it is being translated through his behaviours. I hope you can feel validated, appreciated and wanted! Definitely consider therapy if itās all getting too much and youāre struggling. Take care

Oh mumma š„ŗ this sounds so tough and just know that there is love and support out there for you, on platforms like this too ššš Sounds like perhaps couples therapy maybe helpful so that you can hopefully get to the bottom of it with an impartial witness who can hopefully guide you through this x
