21 and scared

My partner and I have quite an age difference.  And lately its feeling like I can do no right.. im super scared that im gonna be further into my pregnancy and find myself alone. We end up arguing about all the little things and he thinks its all a joke, he doesnt see how it hurts me. How do I talk to him without making it worse or making him angry?
What should I do??

Its soo hard because anytime I say something, if he thinks its worng then itust be coz he's older and knows. And sometimes it feels like its his world and his way and nothing else is correct

Try talking calmly and see if he cn look at it from ur point of view or give him an example of somethng he feels strongly abt n how tht effects him n tell him thts how u feel whn he does or say certain thngs. I understand how u feel I'm 22 my fiance is 30 and sometimes the way he tlks its like he's being my father nt my partner so we try to tlk everythng out n look at it frm eachothers eyes to understand hw eachother feels. Jst say ur nt arguing ur nt upset u jst want to share with him some of the thngs he does tht hurts u bt dnt point fingers everyone needs to understand wt they did without blame. I do thngs he doesn't like ans he does thngs I dnt like n we always say we're sorry and we will try to work on tht because nobdy perfect n no relationship is perfect bt we can try to build a strong foundation on trust love and communication
