Fighting with husband

Is anyone else fighting with their husband? I feel like that is all I do is fight with my husband anymore. I feel like he is making this pregnancy so hard and stressful when it should be a happy time. I lost my job last week so that is probably adding to the stress. Any clue on what I can do?  Is this normal?

  • I think a lot of couple "fight" during this time. There is a lot changing, not just for you, but for him to. I think sometimes we forget that this is happening you them too. So much is going on with us, they are pretty clueless most of the time on how

  • Yes :)  We are definitely fighting a lot too.  Like you we're dealing with some other life stressors in addition to the pregnancy.  I'm not sure if it will stop the fighting, but it seems to help when we talk.  I try to find a time whe
  • Without pregnancy or job loss, do you two normally argue a lot or is this new behavior? If this is new, I suggest sitting down and calmly saying "Honey, it seems like we're not on the same page. I hate that we're fighting all the time. Is there somethi

  • Sorry to hear... I'm sure it doesn't make things easier. I suggest the sit down talk, and maybe even counseling. My husband and I usually don't fight. It's quite rare for us. We've been together almost 7 years, married half a year, and I'm 14 weeks along.
  • Yep, DH and I are definitely fighting more lately. I know it has a lot to do with my hormones. I'm a lot more tearful, and I'm angry at my husband a lot more. I've apologized to him more than once for acting nutty. Like you, the pregnancy hormones are

  • We sure do! My first pregnancy we fought all the time! I also had PP depression after I had DS and looking back, I was being pretty irrational. Not saying that it's always the case, just in my situation, my hormones were out of control. My DH has been

  • My husband and I have fought a lot too. Another woman posted about the provider stress. I know mine feels that stress a lot. I moved to Australia with him in September. He is Australian. I gave up a good paying job and assumed I get another here. Instea
  • My husband and I have been fighting so much.  He is already an explosive person so me being on edge, uncontrollably, he makes it worse.  He takes it personally.  That was my first fear fining out I was pregnant.  That he was not going to be able to handle me, nor me handle him.  He is not being supportive or sensitive to the situation at all.  He says all I do is complain and he makes me feel worse about my emotions.   We have been married for almost 2 years, this is our first baby.  We were trying, but not for very long so kind of came as a surprise.  I am 14 weeks and feeling so stressed out.  I am not really showing yet and have had zero morning sickness so I feel like I should have nothing to complain about...but I feel psycho!.  I am constantly annoyed and irritated with him and all he does is make things worse.  I'm jealous of all you saying your husbands are being so great :(
