are all these DH posts written by the same person?

All written by the same person?

1) DH accepted a new job working long hours and it’s been really stressful. He has been coming home lately exhausted and in a bad mood. It’s not everyday but it’s often enough I’ve noticed. He just wants to eat and have silence. We don’t have kids yet (expecting in September) but I’ve become nervous and concerned by his attitude and behavior. How can I help him so he’s not in such a foul mood? How can I ask him to change his attitude?

2) DH and I just became parents. He was so excited throughout the entire pregnancy and in the first 48 hours, but that has seemed to fade now that we’re home. He’s very helpful if I ask but he doesn’t take charge and do things. I’m growing tired of his lack of initiative. DH keeps mentioning she’s a ‘tiny doll’ and I wonder if maybe he’s just super afraid. I really want him to build a strong bond with her while we are both home. I’ve asked him why he doesn’t take the lead and he has no answer other than ‘tell me what you need me to do’. How normal is this, and how can I change him into the parent I need him to be?

3) I’m a very kind, nurturing person that loves to help others. I went into my healthcare profession because of this. I take good care of my husband, our baby boy, and our home. I’ve been making gift baskets and meals for a couple women who are about to have babies or just had babies. I’ve been helping a friend with a meal train while they are struggling with a NICU baby. I find joy in helping people, regardless if I get anything in return. I’ve been busy this week organizing all of this and DH has been commenting how I extend myself too much and how he thinks I need to redirect my energy to our family. I think he is being very selfish and needs to readjust his attitude. I need to know if I’m in the wrong or if he is or both?

4) I’m in the second trimester and can finally eat again after what felt like months of not being able to eat much. I’ve been going pretty hard and eating all the things that I really crave — many of which are unhealthy. DH has taken notice and told me he worries I’m eating too much of the bad stuff. I asked him to back off. He doesn’t fully seem on board and has been ‘forgetting’ many of the unhealthier choices I ask him to get me. He forgot another craving tonight and I’m fuming. Vent.

5) I do all my own shopping but needed DH to pick me up some things while he ran to Target. He was shocked by the price of the items and the total. He made several remarks about how much I spend for stuff and how I can easily get things cheaper. I told him I like what I like and won’t be changing that because we can afford it. We are newly married and he’s never joined finances with anyone else. Is this normal for husbands to care this much?

6) We just celebrated 4 years of marriage. DH is an excellent and thoughtful gift giver, while I don’t really excel in this area. We have one child — 14 weeks — and he was a rockstar during the newborn phase. My birthday was close to Mother’s Day and he went all out for both. His birthday was last week and I didn’t do a whole lot for him. He asked for sex (for him) tonight and I said no. He went on a tirade about him feeling unappreciated and overlooked. I was very shocked because I often tell him how much I appreciate him. Is he right and I just don’t see it?

7) My husband has used the same body wash for forever but decide for change it up. The one big issue - I hate the scent. I’ve asked him to change it and he said no. Do I get the right as his wife to ask him to change a product I don’t like?

I thought you were going to add the fishing trip DH.

I can't say for sure that all of those threads were created by the same poster, but they do appear to be authored by a long-time troll that I nicked named the "breastfeeding troll" because the original threads were almost always about breastfeeding. The troll now seems to have turned to threads about her "DH" who frequently seems to criticize her spending.

Despite my not being able to prove those posts were from that troll, I felt they were sufficiently likely to remove them all.
