Q: Me & Bf Had a Big Fight

The past few days have been so stressful for me. I didn't want to talk to family members about me and my boyfriends problems because I don't want them to worry, especially me being pregnant and all.
Sometimes my boyfriend blows in my face (air) when I 'piss him off'. Whatever. It didn't really bug me that much until it kept happening and happening. And then on saturday we were talking about our baby shower registry. And I said that I realllyyyy wanted this rocking chair to feed in from babies r us. He was like " you dont need that one you can just get one from like sears or something" ... But I really liked this chair, and all he cared about was cost, when its supposed to be a gift that I would maybe get. He blew air in my face and then I pinched him cause I am starting to hate it!! Then he called me a health forum multiple times and said "get out of my apartment health forum I dont need you" and I just started to bawl my eyes out. I wanted to leave - but I would go to my parents and I didnt want them to think that we were having serious problems for me to leave. So I just went to bed and tried to not worry about it so I wasn't stressed. The next day I just cleaned around and waited for an apology from him. It never came. He was more pissed off about me pinching him. This morning it never came. And finally bugging him about it, he did.

Am I out of line here?

Then, today I made his favorite meal for him, cleaned up everything, and then just simply asked him to scrape his plate and wash it so its not hard to clean. I waited five minutes and then I asked him again. We had to leave very very shortly and he still had not done it. Then I told him to do it and he got so upset that he is sitting down and I have to stop controlling him. What the heck? I hadn't sat down all day long and I had the worst back ache in the world. I had it. There is no way that he could tell me that I am a controlling person when I was simply trying to clean up with his help since he hadn't lifted a finger to clean all weekend.
Then right after we were in the car and he was telling me that I am so hostile and im only hostile because I am pregnant. But I feel as though he is starting to not care about my feelings and I am starting to reaact and try to change that!
Is it true that I may be hostile because im pregnant??
I know im whiny for food at times and back rubs and for him to help me put my socks on.......... But I am *not* hostile and controlling. I feel as though he doesnt care about my feelings as much when he definetly should be. These past couple days have been super stressful on me, and thats the last thing I want for my baby. I dont know how to cope with my stress, and how to approach my boyfriend in a different way.
Sorry its such a long post, I really need some support. Thanks

Don't even worry about it...Pregnancy puts a lot of stress on a couple, and your bound to have some fights. Although its really not fair at all how he's taking it out on you. You should tell him how he's making you feel when all you did was ask him to scrape his plate in tha garbage. Men!:p...But yeah just let him know that its not nice how he's treating you. I know it can be hard, bc i'm pregnant and me and my bf have had some fights where I feel like running home to my parents but couldn't...Try not to get oo upset hunnie! And good luck with everything!<3 sophie

thanks , I try so hard not to get upset. I really do! And I did let him know that I don't want so much stress right now because its 10x harder for me to deal with.
Especially when I only sleep 5 hours a day because of his work shift ... I feel like I have insomnia.
I just don't want my baby to be affected by my stress and my lack of sleep. I feel really bad at times.

I'm sorry you're going through such a hard time, hun. I'd suggest telling him that the way he's acted has hurt you, and then give him some space, and hopefully he'll realise how harsh he's been.. It's what I do when my boyfriend is being a prick like that. He blames my moods on my pregnancy too, even though it's usually got nothing to do with it! Good luck x

*edited to add*

don't worry about the lack of sleep affecting your baby, because it won't... Stress might, but it would have to be seriously bad to do any real harm, so try not to worry about that either.

if my husband *ever* blew air in my face... Evil or Very Mad

oh my .God, it would be on. I wouldn't have pinched him, I would have straight pushed his ass into one of the shelves.

Blow on *me*? Oh, you must want to fight, huh?! Evil or Very Mad

If my ex had called me nasty stuff or told me to 'get out I dont need u' etc especially while carrying his baby, I would have been so mad! I think u should have stayed at your parents house a few days to calm down n relax, cos its bad hes doing things to stress you out, and he would feel more guilty about his actions and miss u....He should have bought u something, or taken u out for a meal to apologise, not just said 'sorry' and gone back to being an ass again...Sounds like he doesnt have much respect for u.

As for blowing air in your face...What a health question! Next time he does it, slap him accross the face real quick....He'll be so shocked he hopefully wont do it again! And when hes all like 'what why u do that?!' just say 'oops reflex action' haha!

My husband does this stupid thing where he points at me. It takes me from zero to crazy b*tch in .18 seconds. So trust me I understand where you're coming from. As for him trying to blame you for the situation I think that's something all men do from time to time because they simply don't want to admit they they could possibly be wrong. I'd just explain to him what he's doing, how it makes you feel and why you don't need this extra stress right now. If that doesn't work, do what I do, whatever my husband does that angers me off, I do it right back to him. If he won't clean up anything then I stop cleaning up his things. If he says something about the mess then I calmly point out that it's his mess and that i'm too tired to clean up after a grown man. If he keeps pointing at me, I start doing it back to him. When he gets ticked I calmly point out that it's a habit I picked up from him. Trust me, he'll get the picture. It works like a charm for me but the trick is you can't be angry when you do it and you have to act innocent when you tell him that he did it. Act just as surprised and idiotic as they do!
