[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the actual issue? That he’s not empathetic or is he not physically doing something you need him to do?[/quote]

OP here, it's both.  It's so hot out and we needed an errand run today and I am busy AF at work and he refused to do it.  His excuse was "do you know how hot it is for me?"  followed by "I have taken 3 days off work to run this errand, and I went last time".  The errand has to do with an investment property we're (really me) are selling.  [b]After the fact he said if I'd told him I didn't feel good or was worried about the heat I should have started with THAT instead of I'm so busy at work.  [/b]

To the other poster, my therapist said there probably is a video but I'm wondering if anyone has one.[/quote]

This is what he needs to hear, a reset of expectations: "Look, Honey, any time that it's hot for you, it's going to be hot for me too. And, because I am pregnant, it's much easier for me to get fatigued and hydrated. I didn't point that out because I thought it was a given--please treat it like a given. How we've normally split chores doesn't work right now because my body is busy making this baby 24-7. It costs me physically and emotionally. I need you to step up and do more of the chores and household stuff and don't make me waste energy arguing with you about it."[/quote]
