Is it offensive to complain?
This isn't relationship advice needed but I feel it's too small to be in aita.
I am currently 24 weeks pregnant with my 3rd baby and have had a rough few weeks.
The fatigue from the first trimester never really went away, my sleep keeps getting disrupted by the dog and my toddler, along with with the unborn baby. I know I do it to myself some nights by staying up until about 2AM cleaning or scrolling on my phone... but I am always tired.
I look like how I did at 7 or 8 months pregnant with my 1st and 2nd, I am constantly uncomfortable, and the summer heat is NOT helping.
This is all an explanation for what my husband has been dealing with. The thing is, I pretty much have nobody to talk to about this with. I have almost no friends, I don't like talking to one of my sil, I don't like bothering my other 2 with my problems, my mom is a worrier and also annoying. So I try to talk to my husband about it but he has now told me that all I do is complain and make excuses.
He even said this morning: "It's insensitive to those who came before, and those who have it worse, and to me."
Because I complained about being hot and hating one of the only pairs of shorts that fit me because they are running shorts and the material made my legs feel hot.
I had NO OTHER CLEAN SHORTS THAT FIT. I went to put on pj shorts, just for a little bit to cool down. He hates it when I wear pj's all day. Sometimes they are the only things that I can comfortably wear, especially when I know I am not leaving the house that day. But to him, it's just laziness.
He is going through some stress at work and is not normally like this, so I try to cut him some slack, but today, he really made me feel like a piece of shit. I haven't realized I had complained that much. And is it really that offensive? I try not to do it all the time....
Update: we talked it out. I apologized for all the complaining and promised that I would try not to do it so much. (Can't promise to never, because I don't make promises I can't keep lol) I also explained to him that when I am complaining, I am not expecting him to fix or do anything. I just want a hug or kiss and for him to tell me that I am going to be OK, or just that he loves me. That's all.
He said he knows that's what I want, but he still felt I was wanting him to fix whatever problem I am venting about.
I told him that wasn't the case and that he does more than enough for us.
I apologized for inadvertantly making him feel that way, and he apologized for making me feel like shit.
We hugged and kissed, and that was the end of it.
Thanks, everyone.
