What do you do whenyour SO is being total Butthead??!!

I feel like all of a sudden my husband forgot what priorities are.. HELLO?!?!!? Anyone home?!?!?I am trying not to overreact, but we have been arguing about the same stuff for months now.. ESPECIALLY because we have a new baby on the way (due Feb) I feel like we should be on hte same page by now..

Anyone else go through spouts like this?? What do you do to deal?? Any suggestions for a preggo woman?? TIA

Sorry you're going through it. I haven't been married that long, but we've tussled about a few things since we've been married and it's only been 6 months.

I learned that whatever the argument, if you can create a win-win situation, the argument will go away. Determine what each one really wants and try to achieve it so that it's not a 'you lose I win' resolution.

I'm sorry you are going though this and I am sure it's temporary.

My DH's cousin just had a baby and his wife complained to me for months during her pregnancy about how her husband didn't do anything around the house and seemed wierd all the time. he was just really nervous about the baby. men have different ways of expressing themselves.

once her baby was born, he completely changed his ways and became a wonderful father and an even better husband! he can't do enough now.

all will be well! hang in there

OH YEAH GIRLFRIEND!! TRY ALL THE TIME!!

Seriously, I'm so sorry that you are going through this...right now things should be EASIER for you, not more difficult. I'd say hold back on some things that he might enjoy like attention or go on strike. He'll get the idea pretty fast
