Separation durning pregnancy

I know when she's pregnant before she ever shows because of the crazy paranoid stuff she starts posting on the neighborhood listserv. She accused me of putting antifreeze in their hummingbird feeder which can only be reached from their deck!

I had it. It was terrifying. I also admitted to myself that how I was acting was not normal and I told DH I thought I needed help. I think PPs points are that it isn't ok to just fall back on the "well I'm hormonal excuse" for acting poorly and then try to blame the dad as being the asshole. If you feel like your hormones are so bad you can't control them and you are consistently acting like someone you never were before getting pregnant, you need to understand that it is not OK, and you need to seek treatment for it. OP seems well aware that she is hormonal and difficult to live with, so it isn't like she has no idea what is going on with her emotions and actions. That's very different from someone who truly does not recognize they are acting off (more commonly seen in PPD)

We recently had a fire I'm now in the new home doing everything myself. In our previous home he didn't help. He says I'm nagging him and to get off his back. But he makes time to go to the gym(maybe that's his outlet)

And you chose to have a baby with this man, because....?

So I learned techniques to control them so I didn't make everyone around me suffer. Seriously, I don't understand why pregnant women think they can treat others like shit and then say "but I"m hormonal!" You CAN control your actions and how you deal with those hormones. I can't really blame him if you were so difficult to live with that he couldn't take it anymore.

+1 I really dislike the "I'm helpless against hormones!" excuse. Yes, it can be very challenging and upsetting, but if you actually feel out of control, you need to see a professional who can help.

It's not an excuse or being helpless against hormones. Every women is different and you can't compare your situation to anyone else's. I was asking for general feed back. And you do know hormones are a chemical imbalance so no I can not control it. FYI I don't treat people like shit. I am maybe insensitive and emotionless and blunt. People to me seem extra sensitive. And I'm the total opposite when not pregnant. And I've been pregnant before and it's a recurring thing.I didn't even give full details for people to make assumptions.
Didn't know you was a Dr. Letting me know I need to seek professional help! Lol

Well maybe he stormed off and left because of his hormones. Maybe they made him so angry that he couldn't control what the did.
