2nd trimester
I'm making it impossible for my husband.

Hi ladies,
I need to get this off my chest, hoping that other ladies will recognize themselves in this and I'll feel a bit more 'normal' again.
I've been arguing with my husband for weeks. Financially, we're not doing too well, and just like with my previous pregnancy, I'm really stressing out about it now. He's a laborer, which means he should be getting plenty of work and good hours with this beautiful weather. But his employer doesn't have much faith in him because he's incredibly insecure. On top of that, I'm constantly nagging him to push for more hours, putting a lot of pressure on him.
I've turned into a monster: I argue about everything because everything irritates me. And I get fiercer and fiercer because he gets quieter and quieter and doesn't care at all, as if no one is home. I throw the nastiest things at him, acting like everything is his fault, while my sweet, caring man is fading away. I feel like a terrible person and would just love to disappear for the next 6 months, then come back as the cheerful, caring girl I am.
Does anyone else recognize themselves in this, or should I conclude that I'm really crazy?
