I love DH, but.....

LEAA14 · July 2015

You seriously can't wait two minutes until I leave the kitchen to start frying eggs??? Do you not understand the concept of "every smell makes me puke?" Also, DON'T YOU EVER EAT MY FUDGESICLES AGAIN!!!!!!

Seriously, my husband is great (see nosy people thread re: bottling apple juice in beer bottles), but he is Just. Not. Getting. It. What are your partners up to that's driving you nuts?

pbtoast · July 2015

Last night I told my SO that I feel fat and gross. His response: "Maybe it's the food you're eating." NO. NO. No. It's the fact that I'm growing a human inside of me and I'm bloated and nauseous. Don't ever mention what I'm eating again if you want to live.

My hormones seriously made me feel like I had fire running through my veins last night, DH told me he was joining a new gym class and would now be gone every evening of his off week (works week on week off) I flipped out, I wont ever see him. He has ALL day to go to any gym in town while I work why go when I am off? Ugh!

notasycophant · July 2015

His face. He's doesn't shave on his days off and it drives me nuts. Looking at his face makes my nausea worst on those days. The beard makes my stomach churn.

I was locked out of my house last night after work and blamed my BF for putting everything on serious lock down (irrational). He was an hour away at the shore and suggested I call the police to let me in. Or wait until he planned on getting home around 11. Not what I was looking for.

He did later apologize and even took ownership of me being locked out being his fault haha. As he should.

DizzyMom1 · July 2015

My DH can't seem to grasp why I'm so tired! Seriously DH??

DaisyTortilla · July 2015

His inability to wake up for himself in the morning! I have to set my alarm, wake myself and my son up before I can get him out of bed! Dude, grow up and be responsible for yourself! I already have 2 children plus the one I'm carrying to take care of, pull your own load!

sbegnaud93 · July 2015

When he says "you need to start a food log." Um no, just no.

This. So much this. He takes it personally that I can't stay up and hang out with him. Come on, dude. I'm growing a human and I feel like crap. Nighty night.

Ooooo boy, I would flip my shit if DH told me I had to wait till he got home to let me in the house. Glad he apologized.

brushesnbrunch · July 2015

Mine has lovingly decided that it is okay to eat food off my plate..I'm fine if you eat the food I specifically asked you to pick up for me..if it's on your own plate. Do. Not. Touch. MINE.

Also, he says that I've been sleeping too much and it's not healthy...yeah, no.

lauren0571 · July 2015

My husband will not stop talking about how much he "needs" a motorcycle.
I told him today that he was being selfish. I pointed out that we have a two year old, a baby on the way and I wanted him to stop bringing it up.
Hours later he texted me a picture of a bike...ugh!

OortCloud11 · July 2015

I feel you.
I hope it's not a mid life crisis, he's only 30. I really will not have the patience for something like that.

paytonpedro · July 2015

DH doesn't seem to get, not matter how many times I say it, that I have no control of my hormones/forgetfulness. If I'm moody/b*tchy LEAVE ME ALONE THEN! Why is that hard??? Also, I have zero sex drive 97% of the time and feel like I'm gonna poop/puke during that entire 97%, so STOP TOUCHING ME. He's really been great, but too much sometimes. Lol

Mine has a 60something Chevelle he bought before we started dating in his parent's garage in NJ (we live in FL). It is in pieces, I have no clue how much it will cost to finish it, and honestly neither does he. In 2012 we bought a house, later that year we got engaged. In 2013 we got married, about a month later he decided we needed a pool. Pool got put in early 2014. Earlier this year we decided to get new floors in our entire house. It was a mutual decision, but he ended up going with a much higher price tile than I would have picked out and a guy who charged a lot more than I wanted. So his car has been on hold for over half our relationship. We decided to start putting money towards it again since we have no big house projects let that are feasible in the near future (eventually we are gutting 50% of the house and changing which room is which) and then I got pregnant, which is something we tried for 18 months for. Sorry dude but it's time to put away your wishes from when you were 24 and single.

Same here. Plus I seem to only get nauseas/sick at night so I am definatly not into it. He becomes such a baby and makes it about him saying he must not be attractive to me and I'm like no this is not about you.

This is the time you tell him "Its not you, its me!" (then go throw up for dramatics!)

I couldn't agree more.
At the same time I am also tired of fighting it. Part of me just wants to say "Fine do whatever you want, but you had better have some amazing life insurance. I want all the paperwork before you buy the bike."
But maybe that's too morbid.

jabrundage96 · July 2015

Ahhhh! Mine too but he wants a quad! It's our first so he's having trouble with the "it's not all about me anymore" thing!

Life is Exciting · July 2015

Haha. My DH did the same thing to me last pregnancy, when I had a serious egg aversion.
This time, my aversion is reheated meat. Just thinking about it makes me want to vomit. And he likes to heat up leftovers from the night before and eat them for breakfast. Like I want to be smelling microwaved day old beef first thing in the morning?!

PedsIsHardcore · July 2015

If I ask him to do something I want it done sooner rather than later. Like we bought a lamp for his desk so he doesn't wake me up since we are waiting to move into a bigger apartment. He forgot the lamp and woke me up even though I've been super sick.

Alliwilkerson · July 2015

He forgets about the hormones. He gets very offended when I'm moody and snappy. He's used to me being laid back and letting everything go and right now I'm just struggling to have any patience with him or anybody else. He doesn't get that he can't take it personally and we keep bickering and that's so not us!!!!!

robinj716 · July 2015

Keeps telling me that I act like I'm the only woman to ever be pregnant and that it isn't that hard. Then he says he takes it back. Ugh.

wisco29 · July 2015

Is acting like because I feel like crap and am laying on the couch and he doesn't see me take care of dd, and do chores he doesn't have to do anything. He literally lays around...maybe he's tired after work but all weekend long he literally just lays around

g8trkim · July 2015

Last week he heated wet dog food in the microwave because he said the dog likes it better that way. The whole house smelled of it! Last night it was tuna. Today he plops down beside me eating jalapeño cheese crackers. WTF!

Edit typo

camusoh2011 · July 2015

DH seems to think that because we have done this twice before that I should just be used to it and be perfectly okay. Sorry, that's not how it works. You try vomiting every day and still taking care of two kids and let me know how you feel. He also says he would like to pick the name for this baby because I picked our sons names. I mean, we talked about them and agreed, but sure you can pick the names as long as I still have veto power. The downside is he has zero interest in actually thinking about names. At this rate we'll be in labor before we have a name for our little guy or gal.

name1109 · July 2015

This might be a one off but when I was in labor with DS all I wanted DH to do was stop breathing.

Ha you would think but actually seems to be worse because you are pregnant AND mothering all things that need mothering. Ugh, exhaustion.

My husband seriously tried to heat up RUBBER tubing in our microwave to try and soften it enough to bend it. Are you freaking kidding me?! Smelled so awful for the next 2 days. I coulda killed him.
