Need to vent: he ruined my 3D ultrasound

My “partner” has issues, like emotional regulation issues and this pregnancy has really highlighted them to the point that idk if I can tolerate it anymore.

Last weekend I had a 3D ultrasound scheduled at one of those boutique businesses. If you know about them you know they aren’t cheap but his mother really wanted to go to an ultrasound and I don’t have one scheduled until later this month and I’m switching OB offices so I’m not even sure if I’ll keep that one. I scheduled it as a bonding moment because her and I don’t have the best relationship, she’s felt a bit left out of the pregnancy, and I figured it’d be a nice Mother’s Day present for her.

My partner went out with friends the night before (granted he never goes out so it wasn’t a big deal) he drank too much and stayed the night at a coworkers house and planned to drive back in the morning because he knew we had an appt. A family member had died earlier that week and he mentioned on the way home he had a wake to go to later that day, this was extremely last minute and I had already had plans plus I don’t fit any of my funeral clothing so I told him I don’t think I should go and he got an attitude with me. When he got home he was bitchy and was hungover.

I tried communicating my plans with him and he snapped at me saying “Why the fuck are you trying to communicate with me while I’m hungover”, I told him I don’t want him coming if he’s going to speak to me disrespectfully and he stormed off and locked himself in a room to nap. An hour later when we were suppose to leave and his mom was due to arrive I woke him up and he says he told his mom that I rescheduled the scan. I never said I was going to do that and the boutique’s policy doesn’t even allow for that less than an hour before appt time. Plus, I paid a deposit for the appt. I ended up going alone and he keeps downplaying it saying he didn’t ruin anything and it’s just a 200 dollar photo… and I just didn’t want to lose a $20 deposit, which it was way more than $20.

Then I noticed my ultrasounds were moved and confronted him and he got pissy with me and started bitching that I didn’t show him the ultrasounds and he had to find them for himself. Idk why he’d care since it was just a $200 photo 🙄

He never takes accountability and has made this pregnancy stressful for me, he’ll snap at me and blame things on my hormones when I’m not even doing anything. I’m starting to really hate him.

I’ll tell you from experience it doesn’t get better once the baby is born

My son is 3 and although my husband is finally recognizing and taking accountability, he doesn’t a lot of the time still when he is in the wrong

He got better so there is the positive in it, but I literally did everything myself for my son from birth til
Recent. I started taking my life back and prioritizing myself and stopped listening to his negativity

He is a great provider and that’s all he is. He used to be a wonderful partner. TIL I got pregnant and it wasn’t about him anymore once the baby was born

He showed every appointment which was great, still does for my son’s appointments and mine but helps piss poor attitude is really hard to be around

I wish you the best and I’m sorry that happened for you 🩷

Ok, so he's dealing with a loss in his family... And is his mother also dealing with that loss? You said it was family?

Men are dumb sometimes

Hi ladies
Honestly my husband does things that truly baffle me.

So tomorrow we have an estate agent coming to our home to value it and take pictures. You best believe I’ve just cleaned and organised that house from top to bottom. He knew I was doing this as I started work late on purpose so that I had the time. You would think he’d have the common sense to hide my birthday present wouldn’t you.

I mean don’t get me wrong I’m grateful I’ve even got a present coming my way but it was literally just sat, BOX OPEN for all to see in our spare bedroom. 😑🤦🏼‍♀️🙄

How can a man be so thoughtful but so dumb all at the same time.

*sigh*

Now I’m gonna have to do my absolute stellar acting performance to make out like I’ve not seen it and I’ll have to act really surprised on my birthday.

Men!

Am I been a psycho.

My husband has always been the type of guy to big me up, tell me I’m beautiful when I look like a troll and make me feel better about myself, he never ever looks at other girls, he’ll look away at nude scenes and if I make a compliment about something he won’t bite or anything.

Currently 25 weeks pregnant and measuring huge, feeling insecure, been talking about monjaro and stuff once baby is born

Anyways, today I’ve gone on his phone to show him something I wanted ( mine was changing ) and a message popped up from a work friend ‘ can’t do anything outside of work ‘ so I was curious to what had happened, and bad wife award, I snooped.
Anyways I end up seeing and I’m absolutely raging.
I’m more annoyed at the fact he has NEVER been that guy but he seems very influenced by a guy who he speaks to at work. I know there celebs and he would never stand a chance but just the fact I’m feeling so down and ugly and he’s literally making comments about other girls has me in tears and feeling sick.
Can I just blame the hormones 😞

Me and my husband have been arguing a lot recently and we got into two arguments last night he got upset moved all his things out the room including his nightstand , he no longer want to take my son (not biologically his) to the bus stop anymore or pick him up from after school camp (we only have one car ) he stated that we are separated and refuses to have a conversation . I think it’s a chance my marriage is over we have been down this road so many times and now I’m feeling like what am I gonna do to prepare for a life without him I have been with this man since I was 18 I’m almost 26 now I’m a Sahm with no car or income I have never done life without him my oldest son also doesn’t know my husband his not his bio dad . I’m not sure what to do I want my marriage to work I do but being down this road so many times what if I have to prepare for a life without him

Feeling guilty..

I’ve recently had my second baby and it’s made me realise how ready my 4yo is to go to school.

I found it quite easy when it was just me and him. I’m a SAHM and he only goes to preschool 9 hours a week which I coped with fine like we would do lots together but now I’ve got another little one to consider and raise I feel like I need a break from him more than ever & that makes me feel really awful.

Is this normal? I feel like a bad mum like it seems I’m trying to get rid of him but I just find having both of them all day together ALOT.
How did you find the transition from 1 - 2 kids?

Is anyone else being baby led?

I keep reading how lots of mums are trying to get their baby into what seems like a military routine with feeding, naps, and bedtime. Am I the only one who is letting my baby do his thing, and I go with him ? I feel a little lost. It has been 11 years since my last

Excuses

My partner keeps using the excuse that 'he wont be here when hes back in work' to either get out of doing something or because ive called him out for not doing something or doing something wrong.

How do I deal with this because on one hand it upsets me because I feel like he saying I'm going to be an incompetent mum, even though i know im not and ive done days by myself in and out the house but on the other hand (like ive said to him) while hes here im going to use him for help/to do his part because why take time off if hes not going to use it to be a dad and help.
