[quote=Anonymous]FI and I just moved into a new home yesterday from an apartment. Through the stress of moving, packing, unpacking, deep cleaning, tiredness, and "missing" my old home, I feel extremely overwhelmed and emotional. I was deep cleaning the new bathroom and FI asked me to get the toothbrush, towels, soap etc. So that he could take a shower. I started crying. Can't really understand why, I just say I'm overwhelmed. FI isn't really making me feel much better. He says it's my fault that I'm overwhelmed right now because I should have started cleaning and unpacking yesterday (I was going to start yesterday but I was so exhausted that I chose to go to bed at 1am). He says he and his guys are the ones that should be overwhelmed, because they are the ones who were lifting and moving boxes and furniture all day yesterday. It is true that I didn't do much lifting and moving of items...I mostly made sure the boxes got to the door, loaded dollies, etc. I am also going to be unpacking boxes and deep cleaning the house. I get that he did "more work" but I don't think that should take away from my emotions. I started crying while my best friend was here, so of course she asked me what was wrong and tried to make me feel better. FI said I made him look bad by crying in front of people, and I need to stop because crying doesn't help the situation and it just makes me move slower. FI basically told me to suck it up and keep moving. Am I overreacting? Am I being irrational? [/quote]
