Anyone else......

[Yin Yang]

....can't stand their husband/partner? Man it must be the hormons but whatever it is I can't TAKE HIM!! He does nothing to make this worse of course, it's all me, but I can't stand him! I can't stand his presence, him touching me, anything....

Anything he does - it's somehow wrong, not the way I DO it : and so on.....

I've kind of turned into myself, my little world preparing for birth and new baby I can't take anything else. I HATE playing with my DS as well. I don't wanna do anything that requires any effort at all :

I am actually worried about the 3 weeks he'll be home - how I am gonna survive him taking care of me and the house and DS!!! I better loosen up or it will drive me crazy! : I am a freak!! I LOVE things MY way! :

I know what you mean. I feel bad but when we got home from the hospital I found myself getting annoyed at the things he didn't do or did. He just doesn't seem to have a clue when it comes to picking up, getting things done, following through on things and it irritates me.
He means well and is so sweet and patient with me but I feel like I treat him like a child sometimes and I don't like it. I just want things done a certain way and want things to be picked up and get frustrated. Even when he touches me or sits too close too me, I need my space. Not all the time but it just seems that way right before delivery and then now.
At the hopsital following the birth I fel so differently towards him. So much affection, love and wanting to be near him. Funny how that kind of went away once we got home-back to reality.
I am hoping it will pass. I think it is.

I have days when i'd happily beat dh to death with a broom handle
i went through the 'he's annoying me to death' phase and i think i'm out the other side - so there is hope.

[Yin Yang]

I am sure (hoping ) it will pass. I think it's some kind of a motherly instinct kicking in....protecting out new baby or something like that. Even from their father...

It was like that for me, especially the first time. Then a little less each time.

[broodymama]

Yes, I'm the same way. : It seems like nobody can do anything right right now - DH, DS, even the cats!

[turtlemama77]

I'm feeling really irritable too. I told dh that I needed to get out of the house today alone (dd is making me kind of kooky the last couple of days), and he wanted me to go when dd was napping. And I did all the work to get her to nap in the first place, so shouldn't I get to enjoy it?? I'm totally being unreasonable, but I'm having a hard time caring. Hah!

well until this passes - how about just thinking of him like your househusband - give him instructions on how to do things like cooking, cleaning, shopping, etc. - that should keep him busy and outa your hair .........!

OP, your whole post is how i feel.

I ask dh if i was like that with the others pg and he told me yeah. I'm like hmmm. I just not up to being in the same room as him or even giving my best at taking care of the girls. I'm soo glad that he is home right now, to be able to care for the girls.

For me, it usually gets better once the baby is born. let's hope our babies gets here fast.

[Yin Yang]

Well, I am glad I am not alone!! I love my husband but right now I love him more if he's not near me
I am sure things will change soon after the baby is born.....
