need to vent!

This isnt a pregnancy vent but my husband really hurts my feelings sometimes im 27 weeks and only work 3 days a week, short shifts like 5 to 9 I am a waitress so its hard on my feet and back anyways...I only make enough money to pay my car, and my car insurance my boyfriend pays for everything else...bills, food, etc...good thing I get WICC so it helps a little...anyways I feel like when my boyfriend I argue he throws things in my face like today he was like I wouldnt have to work extra hours if u didnt make me spend so much on food...just because last night I wanted pizza and ice cream and told him to get a large one so I would have left overs to eat later because im constantly hungry...well he had an issue with that and he said that I need to start living in the moment and stop worrying about "later" like really? He has not acted like this in a long time, I dont get why all of the sudden hes being such a jerk to me...I.told him earlier that once the baby gets older im going to go to school and get a better job so I dont have to depend on him anymore..sorry its soo long I needed to get it out!

Same here! I think its just a husband thing. Not justifying it. And YOU wouldn't be so hungry if you weren't pregnant with HIS child. He can chill a little lol

Ya my bf was very pregnant with me also. Picked up on my emotions and even became nauseous at work around the same time as i did at home. Just a suggestion: try to tell him what your body is going through and that you arent eating everything to be an ***, you're growing a little person in your belly. I don't know what your relationship is like but sometimes guys need to just know whats going on. Just try communicating with him in a soft voice and maybe follow up with a back rub or somethin.  Im no relationship guru or anything and this is my first baby but just wanted to share with you whats been working for me.

Men are like us sometimes they just feel unappreciated and get moody. Try talking to him and let him know you are grateful for all he does to sometimes a simple thing like that helps ease their stress. Goodluck

Also, do you know how much it costs on average to hire a surrogate to carry a baby? About 40 grand. So I'd say he actually owes you since you're the one carrying his child lol

Well he seems like he is thinking smart u don't wanna spend so much on fast food yea ur feeding for two but spending $$ on fast food gets expensive n once baby gets here ur going to be on a even tighter budget cuz ur going to need diapers etc no he should fuss about it y'all should.communicate about it I actually cut back on buying so much restaurant food n start cooking myself something wen I get hungry for one its healthier n it actually saves me way more money but u guys should talk about it not argue about

My fiancé gets stressed about paying the bills too. I have a housecleaning business which is slow in the winter so I work on average 3 days a week and its very physical for me too. I still make enough to pay my bills for my credit cards and car and things concerning my oldest son which is not his biological son but he pays the mortgage which is in both if our names an all the house bills. I used to pay for groceries but now I can't so he has to give me money for that now. He doesn't exactly rub it in my face but he def lets me know in a daily basis in other ways that he is helping me. It makes me upset because I'm doing a second job right now too, that I don't get paid for. I'm presently forming another human being inside my body for 9 months. So are you! And we don't get paid for giving up our bodies or dealing with everything else that comes with pregnancy including painful labors and sleepless nights. So just remind him of that when he complains about money. Cuz for right now his whole life is the same besides having to use a little extra money for bills. And for you I'm sure it all changed from the moment you found out!
