Being a major B!tch to DH

Mobile title: being a major b!tch to DH...

There's just no other way to put it, I am just plain cranky and b!tchy! Yes, I know I am in my 3rd trimester and have pregnancy hormones raging through, but I feel like the incredible hulk sometimes because my reaction is so far above the "offense" committed.

I mean, every little thing he does gets me so annoyed and / or frustrated. If he leaves a mess after fixing LO a snack, checks his phone nonstop for basektball scores, etc. Little things that should be no big deal but they make me raging bull angry.

Any help / advice? DH is a pretty sensitive guy, and we have issues with him getting easily offended by even my nicer tone of voice, so when I'm like this I know he really takes it personally and can't just brush it off as hormones - but for some reason that makes me more angry because "why can't he just give me a BREAK" etc.

I try to apologize and be nice / flirt when I can to let him know that the "real" me is still here (this mostly happens via text message), but I still feel bad.

Sigh - any advice / commisseration? I hear myself being awful and can't seem to stop it!

Only slightly tongue in cheek - what strategies do you guys use with Reese when she's having trouble. Think about using them on yourself. Take a deep breath (or two or three), give yourself a break to calm down. And so forth.

Can you be more direct about what you'd like him to do differently? (i.e. "Thanks for fixing DD a snack. Next time you cook something, could you put the food away and put the dishes in the dishwasher right away? The mess draws bugs. Thanks, sweetie!")<
