Anyone else feel so much rage towards their partner?

Is there something triggering the rage? Is he being unsupportive or is this just a general feeling with no particular behavioural trigger? X

I felt like this while pregnant, his breath anywhere near me and I would go mental. I couldn’t sleep in bed with him.I hated him ?? No idea why. But, he went out one day and didn’t tell me where, I cried until he came home. I thought he had died.( dramatic) I had my baby and I still love him! For me it went when I had my baby.

I found it really hard when I was pregnant. We loved 9 hours away from my family so it was just me and my husband. I sometimes would just feel so angry around him and everything he did pissed me off 😂 but for me it did go once the hormones calmed down

I had/have ROCD/relationship anxiety, and before I got pregnant, sometimes it would show itself like this. Wanting to leave but then getting anxious and upset about that feeling (which generally if you really wanted to leave you wouldn’t feel so strongly). When I got pregnant, mine got better, but now it’s back again. Might be totally unrelated, but may be worth a Google to see if any of it resonates x

@Nicole no, not really, like there's little things he's been doing that would usually irritate me slightly, but nowhere near to this level of anger and rage.x

@Lily this makes me feel so much better. Thank you!

I felt that way up until my 18weeks ! I felt so bad, he’s the best person I’ve ever met and I was being so bitchy to him 🥺 bless him for always being there for me

I had this!! I got so so angry by the littlest of things! I took it out on him. it took over a week for my hormones to finally calm down. But day by day is just draining feeling that way

It’s probably just hormones in that case! It surprised me how crazy my hormones got in pregnancy (and postpartum), mainly lots of crying. I’ve definitely felt more rage postpartum but the hormones are wild so I wouldn’t beat yourself up for feeling this way. X

Yes it’s very normal. The best thing you can do is to tell him that you’re struggling with rage at the moment and that you likely don’t mean anything you’re feeling. Just so he’s aware to not take anything personally and hopefully he’ll have a better understanding of why you’re acting the way you are

I actually went through this post partum. I felt literally everything you’ve explained. To the point where I was dead set on moving out with a 10 week old baby. With no trigger to make me do so other than I just hated my partner. It did pass, and now I couldn’t imagine life without him and I’m so glad I didn’t act on my hormonal impulses. I feel like it will pass lovely x

Maybe it’s hormones? I don’t feel like that. If anything I’m in deeper love with him 🤣🤣 he’s so helpful and present. But i do get a lil irritated but not to extant of rage. I try to control it.

This sounds like just hormones to me. I wouldn't make any sweeping decisions during pregnancy or the first 6-12 months post partum (unless there's abuse or something). Maybe you can just say that with your hormones you're needing more space and see if that helps.

Omg yes… I had intense rage towards my partner when pregnant, literally over nothing… but to me it felt like something and the rage was very real…to the point where I pretty much packed his bag every single weekend! It was really quite horrible looking back… I just felt very out of control and had to explain this to him and I know he found it very hard to deal with, I did too but couldn’t help it no matter how many walks I went on, how many mediations I done, what foods I cut out etc. thankfully it disappeared somewhere in the third trimester and hasn’t came back… we are 6 weeks post partum and it’s just the usual tiredness that I’m experiencing now! You could always go to your doctor if you are worried about it but it sounds hormonal to me, be kind to yourself xx
