love my bf, but hurt feelings. advice & comfort please

edited February 2011 in Pregnant
I love my boyfriend/baby daddy. I really do. I consider him one of my best friends! But today he got upset with me for him "not being able to keep up with my emotions "
I feel like crying. I don't mean to be emotional, & going from ecstatic to weepy in ten minutes isn't any easier on me. I don't enjoy the mood swings!!
& he says I'm only telling him what he's doing wrong vs right, except he does things that annoy me, and I tell him time and time again, until I lose my cool.
I just am feeling really crummy right now.
Sorry. I just needed people to talk to. Thanks. :)

  • Aww I feel the pain. Seems lately my bf is a constant annoyance. Not on purpose of course. Its hormones making us crazy which makes them crazy. After a minor break down cuddling always make me better. Hope it works for you
  • Aww hugs! We have all been there!! Men will never understand exactly what is going on. I have been a walking hormone and my bf can't even joke with me most of the time cuz I end up in tears. He has been pretty good about being calm when I'm upset and knowing when to back off but he is still a man and I'm sure my constant on/off tears get to him. Luckily (although I hate it) we hardly see much of each other bc of our work schedules (which makes me more emotional) but at least it makes our time together 99% tear free :) hang in there, I hear it gets better at some point!
  • He will never understand. But he will forget all about it when he sees the gift inside... Then he will be the emotional one.
  • Thanks ladies. I don't seem him a lot since we currently live separately (tho a block apart) and our work schedules conflict also. Satirdays are supposed to be "our" day, but he spent the whole day quiet/moody, which got me on edge. He told me how he couldn't keep up, later, via text.
    I just wish he would have some sympathy. Lol
    @sherimarie I'm cuddling my kitten right now lol. & yes its helping somewhat!
  • Kittens make it all better. I have 2 which entertain me and take my mind off the situation. Guys dont fully go threw what we do. They cant completly understand. Maybe we should figure some way for them to carry babies....
  • My hubby hides in the den when we get home from work and only comes out for dinner. I ask him whats that about he says he is giving me my space its not enough room in there for us two and your emotions. And on days when he does come out and we get a movie or something I roll my eyes at him the whole time. Lol. I told him to just do what I say and we will good lol. that hasnt worked out
  • Gah, I know. They'll never fully get it. Sometimes, I just want to turn to my boyfriend and say,"hey!!! I'm creating a person right now!!!! Cut me some slack!!" Lol
  • @rossbabies that sounds like the perfect solution!! Pregnancy would be sooo much easier if they had to do what we say!!! Haha
  • I wish my hubby could take one of mine. I dont think men could even begin to go through this amazing experience
  • I'm not sure they're cut out for it. Man, they get a cold and they're out for the count. I don't know if they could handle the cramping, stretching, sore boobs, throwing everything up, stuff, let alone labor!!
  • Never. They would give up the first month. I told mine if it wasnt for him I wouldnt be like this. Think he got the hint or atleast acts like it.
  • I've tried telling me bf its his fault, he gets upset and says I had a part in it too! (Lol I guess thats true. )
  • Just explain to him he needs to go with the flow. If u dont feel like being bothered he needs to step. If u want to cuddle he needs to hold u close. And if at two in the morning u want some ben and jerrys ice cream he need to be looking for the keys and his wallet
  • Yes! I like the way you think! Haha
    I'm generally a very very low maintenance and i dependent girl. & I feel bad having all of these demands/desires on him. And he's definitely not used to it either.
  • Its hard because they really dont understand. All they know is we are crazy, being anoyed by every little thing. And needy!! lol But if you put yourself in his shoes it is a little tiring.. Just try to let him know how much you love and apriciate him as much as you can. Try to make a big deal about every thing he does right or to help out. Let him know how much he means to you. Its exausting for them too. The more you say thank you and show gratitude. The more patience they have when were moody and nit picking everything they do thats driving us CRAZY!!! lol
  • Independent **
  • Good call @kmose77. I need to step that up for him. Cause he has generally been a good guy.
    I've read so many horror stories on here, so I know I snagged a good one. I prob don't tell him enough... :(

    Sometimes I'm sure my husband is trying to upset me. Like last night, our puppy peed on the floor and I was cleaning it up with him standing over me saying, "You missed some. Don't clean it @ all if you're not gonna do it right." He seriously followed me around the house pushing me like that. I almost killed him!
  • Mine was tryin that shit... I put him in check... I told him it will sit there im pregnant u get your ass down there and clean it up... Eventually he got the point... Then he had to clean the carpet...
  • I would of not done it at all then.
    Orrrrrr...completely of lost my $#!+ haha
