Pregnant INFP married to ISTJ. Help!

Hugs ♥ ♥ ♥

First, is there anywhere you can get some affection and kindness? Friends, family, church, social worker? This is crucial for the health of you and the baby now. Dopamine and oxytocin from positive human connection and touch.

Man, I really feel you on this. I get that it is important to him too but wow, this world is so temporary. Houses come and go. They rise and fall. But a son? Do you know what a blessing that is?

What use is a beautiful house without a healthy, happy family? Better to have a happy, healthy family together living in a tent!

Maybe you both need space and if you are just getting on each other's nerves, it would be best for you to be somewhere where you can feel loved and supported for the health of your baby. Can you stay at your parents'?

Maybe tell him you don't want to do that but if he can't be supportive of you, it would be best because the health of the baby is number one right now. Try not to be argumentative or emotional. That is an observation and a fact.

The mother's stress hormones affect the unborn child in a lot of ways. So it's great that you realize now that something needs to change.

Just find a way to detach yourself from the stress of the house and the anger of your husband if he can't stop. It's not a judgement or a punishment or an argument. It's a simple fact that you need to not be stressed for the health of the baby. End of story.

Everything will be okay.
