Not birth related

I don't have anyone to bring this up with, but lately I just keep looking for "flaws" in my husband. By flaws I mean that he has gained a few pounds (not much), but noticeable enough. I keep saying well after the baby we will both exercise, but I just I don't even want to touch him when I see his belly :( and I don't know what's wrong with me or how to change it. Lately I have even been afraid to speak to him because I don't want to hurt his feelings or offend him :/ . When I don't help him with the groceries he gets upset even though some of those times I am doing homework, or I have just cooked so I find it unfair that he wants me to also help with groceries when I've been cleaning all day long and doing my school work. I admit some times I have just been sitting around doing nothing so that's totally on me SO i don't know..whats wrong with me. .

Re: Not birth related

  • I will also say that sometimes even his breathing bothers and irritates me :(. Is this just hormones and it will go away?

  • I would say it is hormones. When you are pregnant a lot is going on in your body. I remember being moodier and more easily annoyed with my H when I was pregnant. I always felt like he could never understand how tired and overwhelmed I felt sometimes. When LO was a newborn there were times when I could hear him snoring MOTN and I felt like smothering him because he was getting a full nights rest and I was up 3-6 times.
     I would suggest talking to him about your feeling (chore wise). Maybe dividing up chores will help release the pressure on both of you. Sometimes he may not realize all that you do or exactly how you feel so talking to him about it can help. As for the weight I would approach that situation later and very delicately if at all.
  • I agree that it's probably hormone related. For me, my postpartum hormones were even worse.

  • Sounds like hormones.  I remember not wanting to be kissed by DH in early pregnancy, his warm, breath made me sick.  He doesn't have bad breath or anything, there was just something about it!
