My mood while writing this blog: hormonal |
I understand that good communication is a strong foundation for any relationship...I also understand that there are two sides to each story....and I even more understand that my body right now has been through some major hormonal changes....
Tonight...(of course I'll give you the shortened version)
We (Jake and I) were in the car, I'm blabbing about something stupid, when I finally realize what I'm trying to say. and I think to myself 'Self, stop beating around the bush...you know he is male and if you have something to say - then come out and say it!'
"I guess I'm just feeling insecure."
**chirp chirp** **chirp chirp**
Of course, by default, if he can't even come up with anything nice to say to me when I come right out and tell him, I get upset...hurt.
So, I say "nevermind" (like the good communication major that I am - insert sarcastic chuckle)
When we do arrive home, he wonders out loud "why I make him out to be the bad guy" and goes to bed. Leaving me to do nothing but get in the shower and wash away my tears and sorrows.
My previous experience has been: as the relationships progresses, the communication comes easier. Maybe we are just stuck in a rut for the time being?

Tuesday, 4 Nov You know, would you have said this 6 mos ago? That's how I would think about stuff when I was PG and Shawn was the BIGDUMBIDIOT. When I'd look at it like that, I'd usually go, "Wow. Maybe next time I'm feeling like that, I'll ask him to go pick me up some ice cream." Which really is perfect: you need the dairy, if you've been a good girl all day the extra cals won't hurt, and it gets Big Stupid out of the house long enough to let you forget about it. And thank God you know I used to be PG or the next part would really piss you off: right now, it's mostly you. for real. And he's just trying to deal with it, wondering if you'll ever be the "same" or if you'll just be a toned down version of "current psycho" once the baby comes. You guys are great together (read your previous posts, babe!) and it'll all come out in the wash. Natalie2 -
Monday, 3 Nov Oh, sister, you are def going to have days like this. And sometimes it IS all their fault! Men have a tendancy to not know how to be supportive during this time, and don't realize they need to be extra attentive to you and your needs. Mine has been on my nerves times ten. He was TOO TIRED last Tuesday to go to my 4D ultrasound with me, bc he had been to Nashville to the Titans's Monday night Football game the night before. I'm still fuming over that. My whole family is! men need to basically be on their toes at this point when we are not at our thinnest, hormones are raging, we feel fat, ugly and infested with a 3 pound parasite that still has at least 2 months to bake. But they are men. They are clueless. It doesn't matter if this is your first or 5th pregnancy. Their lives don't change until that little baby pops out, unlike ours that change the moment that stick has 2 lines. Good luck sister. Chalk it up to being the more evolved specimen.
FYI...mine is BACK in Nashville for yet another game, while I am home with the 3 yr old. See? Fu%@ing clueless.
