My wife is 6 months pregnant and wants to leave me?

Me and my wife have been together for 3 years and everything was good when we were living on our own.As the economy hit us hard I left with my wife and 1 year old son to live with relatives to try to find a better oppertunity and better enviroment for my wife and kid.

As it turns out my wife was getting depressed because she wanted us to live on our own already but because my jobs was only part time so i did not want to move into a place and then not be able to afford it.

As it turns out mywife got pregnant agian as it was a surprise to us i was knew i had to find a place fast. not only for my kids but because my wife would get depressed and fight with me and put me down because i did not make alot of money. Now that were about to move into our own place it seems like shes is getting unbarable.

She is always threating me with divorce and keeps putting me down.

is this normal to behave like this during pregnancy or hasshe turned spiteful?

    Good god, YES.I find mysle ftreating my fiance like **** and have to litteraly stop mid sentance and apologize.Its very hard to controll.If shes especialy persistant or it happens VERY frequently than she may very well have bipolar disorder.Because i do, and since im pregnant, i cant get medicaded.I just have to watch it.She can leave you...but she cant keep that baby from you by no means.The best thing to do is just show her you love her...Pregnancy messes with your hormones,emotions, and especialy body image.I find myself depressed when my fiance IS working.I hate it when he's gone and im so jealous sometimes over the most rediculous things.Show her you still love her and want to be there.You cant let her walk all over you though.Get some imput in there, just dont be too forcefull or demanding.And for the love of god...Do NOT interupt her.That agrivates the hell out of me too.She'll ralize her behavior if you point it out or ask her to stop.Or mabey you should just ask her what she wants, and let her realize your trying hard.it can be so frustrating.And if it comes down to it, Counseling.It will help.

  • i know how hard it is being pregnant and stressed about money...i am there right now also six months pregnant. i too threaten leaving my fiance but i dont ever mean it, its hormones trust me. i feel sometimes i cant stand him and get so overwhelmed and cry. its all just hormones making us crazy. my fiance sometimes just lets me say what i want blow off steam and then i cry and then apologize after. just let her say what ever and just say to yourself 'its the hormones talking, not my wife" and then tell her you love her and give her space. im sure you try hard as my fiance does but you have to understand how us moms worry about everything and it gets very overwhelming especially coming into our last trimester and our babies birth day becoming even closer. it stresses us out and sometimes we take it out on the men we love and it can be very frustrating for you guys im sure, but you need to remember its not our usual self whos talking. just be supportive dont feed into what she says and tell her you love her. just try your best and love your family. i can almost be 99% sure its the pregnancy and not being spiteful towards you. pregnancy is very hard on us especially where your wife and i are in pregnancy, i promise shes probably sleep deprived, exhausted caring for the other baby, back/hips hurts, and emotionally unsure of whats going on whether to be happy or nervous. do her something nice to show you still appriciate her, something as simple as taking your son for a few hours and letting her take a bath or if you can afford it send her for a massage. or even as simple as making a beautiful dinner for the two of you and giving her back and shoulders a nice rub. while you take care of the boy and put him to bed and then cater to your wife, show her you still love her. trust me she loves you, but alot is probably going on with her right now. good luck and give what i said a try =) keep your head up k?

    You should talk to her gynecologist and explain her actions - see what he has to say.
