Is it hormones? Anxiety? Or am I just mean?

ChristinaAnneW · July 2015

So... It seems that I am getting very upset with my DH easily. I sometimes see this, and sometimes I swear he is just not thinking and it's causing me to get upset with him. Example: on the couch I was cuddled up with him and he abruptly moved over causing his thigh to hit me in the square in the stomach.... I know he didn't do it on purpose but, I just got so upset with him and his carelessness... I basically yelled at him for it. So... Am I just crazy? Hormones? Is everyone reacting to little situations getting upset and angry? I feel bad for him having to deal with me, but then part of me wishes he realized he should move slower.

He sometimes pisses me off by the way he breathes. It's not just you.

No, I haven't seen anyone else talk about being more irritable with their DH/SO. This must be unique to you. Sorry.

I've been crying at the drop of a hat. SO does something slightly wrong and I cry. Makes him feel awful which doesn't make me feel any better about it. Emotions fly around now and I think it's semi normal. As long as you apologize when you know you're in the wrong and hope he does the same

You are able to control your impulses and words while pregnant. The occasional outburst will happen, but there's no reason to yell at your husband for moving to get more comfortable.

I totally jinxed myself earlier when I said out loud I think I have been much better about my emotions! Hopefully we can laugh about it tomorrow!

Hubby and I have been arguing and giving each other silent treatments (so adult-like). I know I'm being a snot. It's so hard to let stuff go though. Don't feel bad. Just let him know when you've come around that you feel bad and it's hard to handle stuff in the moment in a no hurtful way sometimes.

Also, sometimes if I feel like I'm going to say something awful if I keep sitting near him- I move. I locked myself in the bathroom today to avoid being a meanie. Thank God for mobile Netflix.

I totally agree, I'm disappointed that I got so upset! I'm hoping I will pause next time and think about my reaction this time.

In the moment thing is key! It's great that you remove yourself when you know you are going to get mad, I think that's a great strategy. hopefully no more silent treatment for you two!

Agreed with the you can control your angry out burst lol but today I had people tell me I was eating to much honestly hurt my feelings and made me angry at the same time. I can't help it if I'm hungry geez I'm pregnant but they act like I eat all day even if I grab a snack it's "oh your gonna have a 10lb baby!" Like wth how much I eat doesn't mean my baby will gain a lot people gain a lot of weight and still push out normal weight babies (6-8lb) sorry I just got a little in my feels

Aw it's okay, sometimes in the heat of the moment it is really hard to control your impulses. I typically wish I had a rewind button twice a day. It's something I'm working on and have gotten better at. But no one is perfect, and the really crazy mean people are the ones who don't even know or admit that they're being psycho meanies!

I already have anxiety issues that I've learned to control without medication .. Slow breathing and yoga!! However, I have noticed I am 10x moodier. This is my second pregnancy & I don't remember being so moody with my first baby.. but when I get aggravated my husband just smiles and says things like "you're so cute when you're mad and pregnant" & I can't help but be in a good mood again .. When I apologize later for being a "you know what" he just reassures me that he's dealt with it before lol! I agree, it can be controlled, but who always wants to hold it in?! Let it out. Let him know you love him but you need a freaking foot rub or some ice cream or something!!! Haha

The way my husband breathes and chews annoys me sometimes. Married life.

Heat of the moment anger plagues everyone. Try to be better but don't be too hard on yourself. Pregnant or not pregnant, I yell at my husband when he is clumsy - steps on my toe, accidentally elbows me, etc. Natural impulse I think.

Mines driving me crazy. Luckily I've taken my LO to the grandparents 5500km away so it's a lot harder to get annoyed with him over Skype

He just seems to be constantly picking a fight and then just uses "sorry, I do love you very much" as a make up/apology/drop it technique and then will not discuss anything after that. Just says "I said sorry so that's that". Great. I'm left fuming but you've said all the crap you wanted to but I'm not allowed to because you've now said sorry.. Ergh.

My husband is great. I want to punch the rest of the world in the throat.

More than usual.
