Does anyone else go through phases where they just dont like their OH?

Hey everyone

Thanks for the posts, made me see the humour in the situation...

Dont get me wrong, I love him to bits and I wouldnt dream of being with anyone else, or having children with anyone else, it's just sometimes he can come out with some statements that just make me think "WHAT?!"

And then I think he plays it back in his head, but is too stubborn (just like me LOL) to admit he's wrong, or is talking out of his back end....

Take for example, Im having a conversation with him yesterday about him being hands on Dad, and how he will do his fair share of childcare, things such as feeding, bathing, changing baby...

And his reply was "yeah I'll feed him, that wont be a problem"

AS IF I WAS ASKING HIM FOR A FAVOUR!!!!

So I said about changing him, and his response was "if I have to".......
It almost as if he just wants to be known and involved in the good bits.....

Put a pretty sharp stop to that, as I told him if he gets this dream job, he can spend his days off (of which he'll get 4 on the trot), doing everything with baby, meaning that not only will he appreciate it a lot more, but he'll also bond more with baby..... he looked a bit flabbergasted, but like I say i think he played back his responses in his head and realised what a pillock he sounded like.....

And I do agree once we're in our own space, working etc,.....it'll get easier.....

I feel like this sometimes as i think most people do, its hard living with others...i just tell my other half that he's really bugging me today and come on here But he does the same to me also...but luckily we don't get offended by each others honesty.

I quite often follow with a list of why he's bugging me though....never been one to keep it to myself :rolleyes:

But i think when hormones are in the midst of it, things that you can normally overlook become major issue's...it happens to me every month!

I know people say count to 10 or distract yourself but easier said than done...my annoyance is usually out before i know it.

the bit in red made me laugh out loud. My oldest son was well known for having a 'weak' stomach. and when his partner was pregnant we all laughed when she said he would do his share of nappy changing! but, he proved us all wrong! he does his share willingly, and without throwing up too!!!
he also cleans up baby sick, dog poo, and rabbit hutches!!!!!!! wouldnt have believed it when he lived at home. if anyone was sick he was sick in sympathy (so i always had two lots to clean up).
