It is your hormones, and give it time...it will get better. Your hormones will level out. ;)
The first few months of a relationship are almost always full of those crazy high feelings, that everything is wonderful and your partner is perfect and you should get married and you'll be together forever... and then after a while reality has to kick in. It probably isn't just hormones, not just the pregnancy talking, it's just the fact that nobody is perfect and eventually you have to recognize the annoying habits and stupid things that other people do sometimes.
My partner and I moved in together when I was about three months pregnant. He drove me bonkers for a while until we learned each other's ways... and four years later there are still things that drive me nuts about him and drive him nuts about me. In our wedding vows he promised to try not to leave the pepper grinder on the coffee table anymore. I promised not to bang around so loudly in the kitchen when I've had a bad day at work.
Either you'll get used to each other's quirks and learn to live together and love each other despite all the annoying stuff, or you'll realize that there are unreconcilable differences. Six months in, it's tough to say - makes it tougher and scarier with a pregnancy added to the mix.
Best of luck as you try to figure it all out. Remember that your relationship needs conscious work from both of you every day. Even though you're not living together yet, take the time to talk every day about how things are going for both of you. Talk about the baby, sure - but talk about each other, too. Good luck.
The "infatuation" of eachother may be wearing off, you don't feel like everything about him is cute forever plus your hormones are probably making it worse
I was wondering if the pregnancy just happened to coincide with the "newness" of our relationship wearing off a little. I know the high you feel at first goes away eventually. At this point i feel the good outweighs the little annoying quirks by a ton so ill give it time. We are having a kid together after all. I thought about talking to him about this but was afraid he would take it the wrong way and i dont wanna hurt his feelings.
I starting dating my hubby in may 2012 we had been friends forever. We knew we would get married so we started trying right away for a baby. So we got.together may I was pregnant by July. We got.married that Halloween and bought our first house in November. Our son was born April when we were.together about 11 months. We Re happily expecting our second son in January and I wouldnt have it any other way. :-) when we started dating I had a 18 month old from a previous relationship and my husband actually came to my baby shower for him. He was.so good with him. Sometimes drastic decisions we make turn out to be the best ones we make. But yes hormones make people crazy so if you can get through a baby you'll be fine. :-)
how well did you know this man before you started getting serious??
i have found that the guys that were quick and in a hurry to get serious real fast were sociopaths. sorry, but if you look at the danger signs of a abusive person one of them will be getting serious very quickly.
not saying this is your situation, just my experience.
take a step back and slow down. yes, you are expecting a child, but that doesn't mean you have to let your guard down.
your hormones could be causing his behavior to irritate you or you just never paid attention to it before. it will probably continue to bother you.
has he ever stayed with you an extended period of time???
how was it??
Ive known him since high school over 15years ago. We graduated a year apart and weve lived in the same small town since school but didnt hang out after high school. He stays over a lot actually and it works out fine. He and my 2 older boys get along great. i was just worried that the initial new butterflies type feeling has already worn off. was hoping my hormones are just making some of his quirks annoy me.
i know at first you see through rose colored glasses as they say and so maybe thats why i didnt notice the annoying things at first. too infatuated with the good stuff to notice. none of the stuff is major things. like i said all the good outweighs the bad by a ton. just wondering if these things will still annoy me after pregnancy is over.
