Why My SO Is... (3/10)

How's your SO performing this week?

Freaking awesome as usual. I haven't done dishes, cleaning, or much of anything contributory to this household in several days and he keeps asking "do you need anything?" every time he gets up! Amazeballs.

Mine is really great, I just have to remind myself that no, he doesn't think about this pregnancy 24/7 and that's okay. I have daily physical reminders that I'm pregnant, whereas he doesn't have that, but he does have about 100 other things going on because we're trying to build a house and he's making sure it happens as soon as possible for us. I've actually been pleasantly surprised with how he's been. He's normally a hard ass that I fondly call a grizzly bear, but ever since finding out we're pregnant he's been super attentive and patient with me, even when I'm being a psychotic bitch.

Why my SO is annoying:

Because this conversation actually took place:

Me: Baby, I want some strawberries.
DF: That's cool.
Me: ...
DF: Walk to the store and get yourself some?

Why my SO is awesome:

Yesterday I was in the bathroom for a long time (because not feeling well) and when I came back into the bedroom, I told DF I needed to talk to him about something. He immediately bolts upright in a panic screaming, "what's wrong?! What happened? WHAT HAPPENED?!" Poor guy thought that since I'd spent so long in the bathroom that something had happened to the baby. I just love how much he loves and cares about this baby already. It makes me happy.
Don't worry, much soothing took place afterwards

@stithof You've got a real winner there!

He is literally the best. I tend to get nauseated in the evening and he has been cooking dinner for us after work, (which is a big deal for him since I get home at 5:30 and he doesn't get home till 8:30 usually, or even later), he has gotten us cleaning ladies so I don't have to clean, he is happy to just sit with me when I don't feel good, even though I know he is bored and he has been kissing my belly every morning and saying goodbye. He is the best.

Hubby has been extra affectionate, talking a lot about the baby, and patting my tummy. I think this last week reality has set in and he's finally getting really excited.

Amazing. Just came back from Hawaii with my girlfriends, a place that’s number one on his travel list, and he was nothing but supportive about me going and hanging back to work and watch the dogs. No complaints, no sourness, just genuinely happy for me that I could get away for a few days. Then he picked us all up from the airport (with the puppies!), had some flowers waiting for me at home, and cooked me lunch. I seriously don’t deserve him most days.

This made me laugh!

Glad to see so many supportive SO's.

@chyvie DF has been talking to my belly every single day since I told him baby developed ears.

sliztee

I'm really glad to see everyone is appreciating their sweeties today! Makes me happy.

Well I appreciate mine most of the time.. honestly I do. But is it so hard to make me some damn breakfast on a sat morning when I have to work and he gets to sit on his ass all day?! But nope. Oh well who am I kidding? He never cooks anyway. I worked 11 hrs running around on my feet yesterday and I’m still just as tired and grumpy as when I went to bed so he probably can’t wait for me to leave again. 

sunnyknightsarah

He’s awesome. He’s been really sweet and affectionate and trying to do whatever he can to make me feel better when MS hits. And he loves boobs soooo much and hasn’t even tried to touch mine after I told him how tender and painful they are. That’s the real amazing part lmao

Just went out of town for work for 10 days  He’s been ok though... kinda busting my balls regarding my negative sex drive, but he’s joking... mostly.

He has been amazing! He has been cooking and cleaning for me since my morning sickness kicked in. My DH always takes care of me if I need anything and rubs my back at night because he "wants to help me fall asleep." I am so thankful for him. He is going to be a wonderful father.

lovelycrookedfox

Good and bad. When we first found out he didn't like the idea of me keeping it. I even gave him the choice to not have to be a father and that I could do it on my own. But he's finally warming up to the idea! Even going as far as kissing my tummy EVERY morning before he leaves for work. It makes me so happy and excited. Gives me belly rubs without asking and if I ask him to too. The thing he's not doing so great at is putting his foot down on friends and family. We've not told anyone yet but I've talked to him about what bothers me. His friends freely walking into our home without announcing their coming or even knocking on our door. We are technically under his dad's roof (it's our home, we pay all the rent and bills, but the house is under land contract in his name.) So he believes he can also freely walk in and ruin our moods as he did the other day. Dudes an alcoholic and Everytime he comes over he goes off on a rant about how much of a wh*** I am. Not happy. I told him we're getting our own place in our names before the baby's born, or I'm moving back to my parents and we won't be living together until that happens. It's all very stressful right now and nobody even knows about the prenancy yet. Wish us luck.

He’s perfect. Unprecedented in the history of husbands.

@indias95 I'm glad he's starting to warm up to the idea. Although your SOs father sounds like a piece of work.

chopchop25

@indias95 glad to hear he is coming around! Hopefully you can work together to set some ground rules before baby arrives.

lovelycrookedfox

Oh he is. He lost the right to ever see our child before I even knew I was pregnant. Dudes got a lot of problems he starts himself but blames the rest of the world when something doesn't work out his way. Definitely won't be around baby and even now when he comes over I either leave to go to my parents or go on a long walk until he's gone. Stresses me out way too much and I know it's not good for the little one.

jynjer4

@Lisa3379 my DH too! He’s mostly joking and is understanding but this it’s so strange for me to never be in the mood for sex so it’s weird for us both!

BrittanyCupcakes

He’s been really awesome for the most part. I had a busy day on Wednesday and was pretty much useless from exhaustion all day Thursday. Then Friday my chronic pain issues flared up and my usual treatment options are no longer an option. He’s been taking care of me, the kid, and the house, and trying to cater to my cravings when possible. Of course, he did imply that the pregnancy symptoms were all in my head, because it had been less than two weeks since we found out and I wasn’t having any symptoms before then. Someone needs to re-read his pregnancy book.
