everyday arguments with my partner

[Kiki_darlyn]

Am 8 weeks pregnant & since I got pregnant I have been irritated at the sight of my OH. I am constantly moody & every day we are arguing... Even about the smallest thing such as the way he eats! I sometimes feel as if I am falling out of love with him. Any advice pls ;-(

Congrats i am pregnant too.

Your hormones are changing and it can be hard to adapt. Hopefully things will calm down for you in the next four weeks. Try to enjoy this time with your partner. Do things that make you feel good. For me, i look forward to coming home after a stressful day at work and relaxing by the fire together but i also feel very hormonal. I had an awful day today at work and still don't feel calm.

You and he are in this together though so try to say f off to all the stressors outside the home and see him as your safe haven

Good luck

Congratulations also hun. I hope u have a better day at work today. I will take ur advice and hope for the best. It's quiet difficult at the moment as I am feeling lost and rather than seeing him as my safe haven, the sight of him irritates me! Sad I know ;-( but that is how I am feeling at the moment.

Was it a surprise pregnancy or planned? How do you feel about it overall? Maybe you just need some time to come to terms with it and adjust.

You could try going out for dinner with a few girl friends. Some space from him for a few hours may help and it will relax you. Read a book or listen to music-do things that make you feel calm and get plenty of sleep at night. Im at the early stages too and i am very tired a lot so that doesn't help with your mood. And you could try some light exercise and a balanced diet.

You should be fine once you adapt to the hormone changes hopefully.

How are things between you in general? Is it an overall happy relationship?

Well the pregnancy was kinda planned. We knew we wanted kids but I told him we needed to get married b4 hand. But I ended up pregnant.
The relationship was good in the begining;
But things began to change shortly b4 I got pregnant. Part of me feels bad cause he begs me every day to forget the negative things and make our relationship work. He promises changes and ask for forgiveness day in day out. But I just feel irritated around him.
I really don't know if it's my hormones or if i generally have fallen out of love with him.

I can only hope and pray that things get better between us.

But Michelle23 thank u for lending a listening ear and thank u for ur advise. It really does help to get things off my mind. Xx

You don't say how bad the issues are but if there is dysfunction, it is best to deal with it now before baby comes. If you cannot forgive or if you feel the love is gone, then i strongly recommend couples counselling to you both before you have the baby.

If you then decide after the counselling that it wont work with him-fair enough but at least try for your little family

Best of luck to you. Feel free to pm me any time
