My husband got upset that I didn't make him lunch when I was pregnant: Advice?

I wanted to message and maybe some mommy’s give me some insight on this.My partner and I brought up my pregnancy from 5 years ago. He got upset because he said that I never made him lunch during my pregnancy when I had morning sickness. It lasted about until I was 6 months pregnant. That he only took instant soups and now he loathes them because he has to take that while I was “sick” in my pregnancy. I said well why didn’t you make yourself something then. He got very sensitive about it and hurt that I said that. I am hurt because I was really really sick for most of my pregnancy and could barely keep myself eating to give to the baby, let alone worrying about him. I don’t know if I’m taking it too personal or what to think. He said I should’ve just taken a pill to help during the pregnancy instead of being sick. That hurt me even more.

He’s being insufferable. I’d tell him to get over it. And if he ever dared mention it again, I’d make sure he understood just how selfish he sounded.

I’m going to sound bitter as hell because my ex/son’s dad did this same kind of stuff lol, but your husband sounds like a POS.

You’re not his mother. He’s not a child. He’s capable of making his own lunch instead of his sick pregnant wife.

I used to do absolutely everything for my ex, and when I was pregnant, I couldn’t bend down to grab clothes out of the dryer and he would scream at me how useless I was lmao.

Now if someone did that to me, I would leave in a second. So I’m projecting my own past experiences onto your post, but personally your husband sounds like a child who needs a mother to take care of him. I guess you have a few kids, because your hubby definitely requires the care of a baby lol.

He married you to be his spouse, you aren’t a maid or his mother. He’s got 2 arms and capable of making his own lunch. Tell him to go cry about it and eat poo.

This may be mean, but what a :face_with_symbols_over_mouth:. You were growing a life and sick AF. He’s a big boy and could have easily made his own lunch. You’re not his mother

I would have told him to grow up. Your not his mother he is a grown man he shouldn’t need to be catered to make your own lunch, and if he isnt able to do that thats his problem how did he survive before you

This was five years ago and he’s still butt hurt over you not making him lunch? Were his hands broke that made him incapable of being an adult and making his own lunch? If that were my husband acting like a first class toddler he would be making more than his lunch for himself. He needs to grow the heck up you were growing HIS child in your body throwing up until you were 6 months along making his lunch would’ve been the last thing on your mind.

Fighting/ Getting upset about something that happened FIVE years ago is kind of stupid

This story is missing something… :thinking: oh… the other side. There is more to the story than what is being told. What did you say to him?

He’s a dumbass man. If can’t feed his He’s not grown up he wants a mother not a wife. I wouldn’t give a shit. If you’re hungry fixing something. Period!

I don’t think YOU are being overly sensitive…a He is… He is still holding onto this after 5 years? Come on now

SELFISH is all k can say!

Lol , he is still whining about u not fixing his lunch 5 years ago ? wtf
How childish

He sounds like a very immature, self centered human being to me. There is no reason that a grown man cannot feed himself.

Wow! What a very selfish thing to say/way to behave! Clearly he saw how sick you were for 6 months! Its NOT rocket science to make a sandwhich or something gor lunch - he even could have hotten fast food few times a week if need be! For a guy to be/act jealous about/over their OWN child who wasn’t even born yet is pretty SAD & RIDICULOUS! Hes dimply behaving like a spoiled child who should absolutely hotten over it by now not to mention be ashamed of even saying that!

Worrying about lunch from 5yrs ago? Yall got bigger problems than lunch

Y’all just now communicating about an issue from 5 years ago n both getting upset about it… :woman_facepalming: Sounds like more than just a lunch issue

He’s a grown ass man and should know how to make a sandwich. Like to see how he’d feel growing a baby, have morning sickness, swollen feet, hemorrhoids, etc and have you say “just take a pill to get over it all”

He’s being an Asshole !! Tell him to grow up !!

Sounds like he wants a mom not a wife. I think he should have been up making lunch for both of you while you were sick having his child. He needs to grow up especially if he is still bringing it up after five years. Next time he doesn’t feel good he needs to fix you a meal. I bet he wouldn’t like that idea.

His words are hurtful. I was sick my whole pregnancy I could hardly keep anything down. About taking a pill I did and I was still very sick. Most important thing is for you to take care of yourself and baby. Hes in charge of himself.

As soon as he suggested that I should have taken a pill while I was sick and pregnant I would suggest you need to take a chill pill now.

Sounds like he didn’t want to adult for himself. Shameful. You’d think he’d been more concerned that for 6 months you and babies nutrition at the time. Instead he’s complaining bc he couldn’t be a big boy by himself.

Ask him if he would make you lunch if he was vomiting his insides out while carrying your child. Sorry, but that is the most petty dick thing for him to bring up 5 years later. Some of these men need to grow up. Women go through alot during pregnancy not to mention birthing a whole human and he can’t make a damn sandwich for himself.

He holds a grudge for half a decade over instant soup?! With extenuating circumstances and valid reasons you couldn’t do it. More importantly why couldn’t a grown ass man make himself a decent meal!!! Girl, you got two little ones on your hands mentality wise. Good luck.

He should’ve honestly been making you lunch and catering to you. What a joke of a man

He just blew my mind with that! He sounds really selfish and self-centered. He should be worried about you and his child.

After 5 years…? It’s not about the soup at all… Talk to your man and see were the issue really stems from…

I would tell him, thank you for the reminder of how selfish you are and be sure not to get pregnant by him again. I’d make sure to tell him since pregnancy morning sickness hinders him from his lunches you’ll be sure to stop s3x so that you can be sure not to get pregnant again. And I would say glad to know you prefer lunch over $3x.

Sounds like he needs to learn to communicate in the moment or shortly after about what’s bothering him. He was upset and didn’t say a word for 5 years? Lol. When someone is sick regardless of pregnancy or not the other partner sometimes has to do a little more. I can understand him feeling like he misses the love and care of you making him a lunch but to actually be mad about it, and mad about it 5 years later? Lmao.

Girl, he sounds like a narcissist and a man baby to boot. Do you really need a 6 foot tall child to take care of?

Selfish fool. Slap upside the head should work.

He’s either selfish, insensitive (to you having been the sick, pregnant one and in need of more care), an idiot or some combo of the above.

You’re not his mother. Could he not make his own lunch? :unamused: Some of these men, I tell you, wouldn’t last a day as a woman, let alone a pregnant one.

He’s able to make his lunch! Give me a break

A pity he didn’t have morning sickness to know how you felt ,Selfish man

This happened 5 years ago and you both are still holding on to this…wow. there are bigger things to be upset about

Why on Earth are y’all digging up crap from 5 years ago?

From 5 years ago? Get over it.

Lol 5 years later? This dude has issues.

Stop making his lunch period then. He’s a capable adult.

Tell him “you should have just taken a pill to make you NOT hungry… no?” Sounds like a problem solved to me :rofl::rofl: guys can be such jerks & always wanna be put first when we’re carrying a child.
