[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you tell your husband exactly what you want him to do ? Men can be incredibly dense. You’d think after20 years of marriage my husband had learned to be more gracious when I’m on my period, but nope. He still needs to be reminded that I’m in pain and am hormonal and need a little extra love. Agree with the PP too that men really don’t understand pregnancy unless you have one of those unicorn husbands who is very sensitive and perceptive. I really had to constantly spell out to my husband what pregnancy felt like - and to some extent - postpartum - for him to take care of me in a way that I needed. But he did come through when I was very explicit about what I needed from him. And yes, that did include not picking fights with me and yielding to me more when there are conflicts over small things.

This! My can be truly dense about how hard pregnancy can be.

You somehow have to get through to them what a challenge it is and what help you need so that they understand the seriousness of it. For me it was breaking down crying (and I never cry) with a specific ask on a specific item.[/quote]
