can't quit crying

I was put on bed rest and have to be very careful and limited  on what i can do. Being like this has made me feel completely  worthless. Im very emotional. And it doesnt help that my husband is not very supportive. I don't know  if its because hes stressed about having to handle  the extra expenses with me not working  too, but hes being a complete jerk about it. Had a prescription filled Monday and every day i ask if he went by to pick it up and  he responds with,  someone has to actually work around here and im too busy. I know he has driven by pharmacy multiple times. It wouldn't  take 3 minutes. So tonight i got upset and  asked  that he make me a priority for 5 minutes. His response was, "you pay the bills and then ill make you a priority"
I know he really sounds like an ***, but he hasnt been this way before. Just ***** that he is all i have besides my 12 year old, no other family and we don't  live by friends so i have no one to help.  Just  pray that it gets better for us....

Trust me I know the last thing you want to hear is I know how you feel but in some ways i do. My parents lived out of state my first pregnancy and his mom was to scared to ever come over. But hang in there, it's only temporary and will get better.

Maybe it's just ur hormones still getting the best of u. Cuz seems like ur emotional abt ur parents also n that happened a long time ago. I have my mom close by n brothers but I haven't even told my mom that I'm 7 months pregnant. N it doesn't bother me. My husband n I have bought everything we need well throughout the pregnancy. It doesn't bother me that it's just him n I. It only took my husband n I to make the baby so y would I need anyone else to help or even be there at the hospital. All I needed is my husband to be there.

It is about the money. I know that, just wish i had someone  else to turn  to. We both lost our mothers to cancer, him at age 3 and i lost my mom 2 years ago. No dads in the picture.  Its just us and our  babies. I know we will get through this and it has gotten better this weekend. I guess i feel guilty too that the burden of all the bills  and groceries  is on him.

It's the stress of losing a whole income. I have a pregnancy sickness and although it doesn't officially put me on bed rest, it put me in and out of work for 3 1/2 monthsand 4 hospital admissions. My husband would have mood swings and stress about it too. Talk to him, try and help him as best as you can within your restrictions. I tried to sell unuse stuff online to make some extra money or see if your parents can help a little, even if it's food or you can postpone some bills due to hardship. Trust me he will relax eventually but it's about the money, especially since you said he wasn't like this before.

I'm so sorry :/ maybe ha e your Dr talk to him Bout why you're on bed rest and maybe he will understand? That's really rude though for him to act that way.. If u have to I guess you will have to go get your medication yourself or call your doc and say you can't get to pick it up?or drink e to the pharmacy and have your 12 yr old go in for you.  Wish I could help but knowing this app you're in another country try most likely lol.
