Totally irrational...

I am totally irrational these days.  I got in a blow-up fight with my DH b/c he wanted to leave these pillows out that didn't match our new living room and I wanted to put the ones out that I had bought to match.  He then told me that it didn't matter, our living room was a hodge-podge anyway and that the pillows were ugly.  Soo... I cried for two hours.  And didn't go swimming with my friend like I was supposed to b/c I was so upset.  And am thinking I will cancel going to dinner b/c I am STILL so upset that i can't imagine sitting through dinner and being pleasant to my husband. 

We just closed on a house 2 weeks ago and are trying to unpack.  Both DH and I work long hours and so it has been slow going, plus I get so freaking tired.  I am sick of the house being in shambles, but I can't seem to do anything about it. 

I just feel like this is taking such a toll on me, and that my DH really doesn't get it.  I don't know how to settle down and be a calm, rational person that is a good friend again!!  Do other people feel like this?

Maybe your arguement with your DH is irrational, but it doesn't seem like all your fault.?

When DH and I are at odds, I don't feel like doing anything with friends. I just want to be alone or be with DH to work things out.?

i just realized you were from CH! in NC??

yup! and the argument was not totally my fault, but my response sure was.  I completely flipped out and started sobbing, and am STILL upset 2 hours later.  That is pretty crazy given that it should have been a minor disagreement.

i think its pretty common for our emotions to be a bit more extreme at this point. i know its hard for me to control them sometimes. im from raleigh

Well this should make u feel better... yesterday I woke up to make breakfast for my BF and he came into the kitchen and looked at the bacon I had already fried and bc he likes his borderline burned he said "Baby, you've got to cook them longer." I flipped, I threw the spatula and turned and screamed at him n felt like throwing the pans around. How's that for irrational?!

hahaha it does make me feel a little better!  i just want to not be the only out of control person. 

it is sort of strange- at work, I am essentially my same old self- so what gives at home??!

maybe we just feel more vunerable w our men so we have our emotions on our sleeves...

or maybe b/c i feel like my feelings are partially his fault! 

it is so strange to LOVE being pregnant and LOVE the baby more than anything and yet still feel so volatile.
