I need to vent!

Am I the only person just exhausted 24/7? I don't sleep well for more than 3 hours, and on a two foot section of bed, because the bf wants to cuddle up. I keep the apt picked up, and clean. I work a 70 hr week straight. And then my bf expects me to iron his work clothes and make his lunch in the two free minutes I have to wake up. My hips are killing me, and I'm just plain grumpy. My bf and I are trying to work out our problems so we can grow our family the right way, but I feel like he appreciates nothing I do. Instead he says "I feel like I'm the only partner in this relationship". My job pays the bills, and his is to save money for a new place.I'm pretty sure I'm doing my part. I just need some rest, and Im being made to feel like I'm asking too much. Bah! Sorry to bring my drama to the baby blessing table, but I feel like you ladies will understand somewhat.

I work seven days straight at an overnight pharmacy. He works overtime as well at a hospital, but his job is way less physical. We aren't married because baby was a surprise, and we want to wait til after I have him.

Singermom,  if you're working literally 70 hours per week (wow,  where do you work?) and you are also pregnant,  it seems completely unreasonable for your boyfriend to also expect you to keep the apartment clean and iron his clothes and make his lunch.  

You need to develop the ability to demand more out of him.  You're working almost two full time jobs hours,  as well as taking care of everything else AND pregnant.  

Is there some reason you two aren't married?   I wouldn't work this hard to support a man and carry his baby if I didn't have a legally binding contract.

I understand I haven't been able to stand my husbnand latley cuz I feel like he just wants to pick on me all the time he knows what I go through as much as a second part can but yea its not all bad so I try not to be so mean but I think our relationship will be better when this baby is out. Anyway I would just sit down and talk to him u have a lot going on with your body your working over time and your still making sure the house is clean you could use some more help and support. Not complaining.
