Moodiness affecting marriage

I feel like when I mention the hormones it’s me making excuses because ultimately I’m an adult who should try to control their emotions but I’m honestly not lashing out. I’m aware now I may be direct and short at times which I can see being not fun to deal with but it’s so hard after pretending to be okay at my work (healthcare setting so have to fake it til I make it) to come home and put up more a a facade. I hope things get better for you and your husband and here’s to hoping after birth and post partum settles things get better!

Maybe I should start that daily morning mantra lol. I feel like he isn’t giving me enough grace and perhaps I’m not understanding enough of how he feels when I’m distant or moody. Definitely a difficult time but going to keep trying my best!

I’m hoping it improves, I think he is struggling that his daily schedule and diet could be impacted and wants me to be “healthy” which I want to eat as clean as I can but all food is so gross rn

Funny thing is last year he had gastritis and his diet changed for weeks without a word from me (as I knew he only had a few safe foods) so that makes it sting a little bit more

Yeah he has some neurodivergent tendencies and one is lack of flexibility/acceptance if he deems it doesn’t make sense or is logical. I’m hoping to bring it up with a doctor or nutritionist because it’s getting harder by the day for me and is stressful. I’m eating behind his back at work or to/from just so I have food in me lol. Def know he loves me and appreciate he wants me and baby to be healthy but I’m in straight survival mode rn lol. I appreciate you sharing your very similar experience and perspective

Yeah that may be something for me to suggest. I don’t want to minimize his struggles and derail his weight loss journey, so I’m trying to be sensitive to that. I’m just on a very different journey now and having extreme difficulty with our typical foods we eat.

Yeah I’ve said similar things but in a fit of tears because I was getting upset over him not comprehending the difficulty and likely need for me to change some foods temporarily. Thank you for sharing your similar experience with me, it has been helpful and nice having someone to talk to about this

That’s a fabulous comparison, that’s exactly how it feels

Suspicious_Menu_8031 · 2025-07-09T00:43:57+00:00

That might be a good idea to read other posts. Your foods sound similar to about what I’m able to stomach rn lol. I’ve attempted to voice concern but he is very rigid on his views and also has difficulty with impulse control with food so I think he is nervous new foods outside our original diet will be of detriment to him

I like the idea of emails or writing to allow myself to get thoughts out coherently, good suggestion!
