My wife is pregnant and accuses me of being selfish and indifferent.
At first I was happy that we were having a baby, but I had no idea that my wife would become so capricious, hiding behind her situation. While she was working, it was still bearable, but now on maternity leave and I do not even want to go home after work. I delay under various pretexts. I come home tired, I want to rest, watch a movie, and then it starts: “Sit and talk to me, I’m bored”. Naturally, I am bored, because I took most of the housework myself, and my wife is occupied only with herself but eats different delicacies. How then will lose weight, I do not know. Most likely, will decide that the fat be too normal, because she gave birth to a child! Many of my friends talk about it.
My wife has become tearful, she read in social networks that pregnant women should behave so. I read the feed, and it says, “I threw a tantrum at three in the morning that I want strawberries, so he ran to the supermarket.” And all that kind of stuff. My wife decided to keep up, to be “like everyone else” so her friends would not say that she was “wrong pregnant,” but I quickly explained to her that “there will be no snowdrops on New Year’s Eve. I understand the situation, the hormones, but there’s a limit to everything.
Maybe we would have handled the situation, but my mother-in-law came for a week to help and support my daughter. The fighting started and I had to move in with my parents for that time. I told my wife that I would only come back after her mother left, and if she did not agree, then let my mother-in-law send her to the maternity hospital and take her home afterwards.
I am waiting to hear back from my wife, and I don’t feel guilty about it.
