AITAH for being mad that I keep having to repeat myself?
My husband is now sleeping in the other room.
I already have a fairly short patience, I can admit. And I’m currently 8 weeks pregnant with our first child, and my having to repeat myself is starting to make my blood boil.
Our first ultrasound is tomorrrow. He was with me when I got the phone call (on speaker) to schedule. He watched me put it into our shared calendar on our phone. It’s on the physical calendar in the hallway. I started this morning reminding him with “hey babe, our ultrasound is tomorrow. We have to be up at 7:45. Not hit snooze at 7:45, but up and moving.” He responded with a quick and frustrated “yeah, I know.” The day goes on, we make a couple remarks about how excited we are for the appointment. It’s getting late now, so I tell him “hey, we should probably go to bed since we have to be up at 7:45am.” To which he responded, “yeah, that’s a good point.” 30 seconds later (not an exaggeration), after walking to our bedroom and getting into bed, he asks me, “so what time do we need to be up tomorrow? 7?”. I took a deep breath and said “No. I just told you 7:45.” to which he responded “9?”. And I could feel the rage building up, but all I said was “don’t piss me off.” Quite angrily I’ll add. He grabbed his stuff and said “I’m not dealing with this. You can’t treat me this way.” And slammed the door. He is now sleeping somewhere else in the house. Am I really TA here? I feel like I sufficiently kept him informed of the timing for the appointment and he’s treating me like I’m some villain because he has the attention span of a goldfish. Instances like this are quite common where I get upset because he just won’t remember, including stuff I just told him seconds prior. For added context, I have diagnosed OCD, and timing is a huge thing for me. I make sure the people around me are aware of important times and appointments to reduce stress. I swear I have to repeat nearly everything I say and these pregnancy hormones are not helping me. AITA?
ETA: I’m turning comments off on this post. I’ve had several tell me to abort my child over this and that is so beyond disgusting I don’t want to see it anymore.
