So fucking tired of my husband ( kind of long )

So I’m married and I have a 18month old daughter. My family and I just relocated to a different state a few months ago. We don’t have any family nearby and is still getting adjusted. My husband works overnight and sleeps during the day. I’m with the baby all day and do everything ( literally ) I recently found out I was pregnant ( I’m about 8 weeks ) I have mixed emotions about it because we have no family close by to help and I mentally have been going through a lot postpartum wise with my baby and just being alone and not having no one around to help me and not being around my normal doctors I have back home and the stresses of just having to rebuild somewhere else . I made a doctors appointment for an obgyn for tomorrow. When I woke up this morning I was already overstimulated because my baby is just climbing all over me while I’m on the toilet ( I’ve been constipated for over 2 weeks and in pain ) and I was just there numb. My husband woke up and came in the bathroom and I said, “hey idk if I can have another kid I feel mentally unstable” he goes, “ oh your just scared you always do this” I say, “ I’m not scared but I’m just really overwhelmed and I think when I go tomorrow I’m going to weigh my options” … he proceeded to go off and call me selfish and tell me not to piss him off and why does his opinion not matter and all this shit. He starts banging the walls and slamming the doors . This is also the same man who can’t even change a shit diaper because he doesn’t like the smell. I told him that I’m the one who mostly does everything and even before we moved and he got switched to this overnight schedule so my decision is going to outweigh his because I’m the one who is carrying most of the burden. What do you guys think am I wrong or what ?

Your body your choice. Being a stay at home mum you do get the majority of bringing lil one up that's generally how it goes. I was the same, husband worked in the day, I didnt have any help I still did the nights with baby so he could sleep for work as he earns us the money provides for us. X

This is my life too I’m so unhappy but really don’t want to leave him it’s so hard

Sorry that you're going through this. Could you find a babysitter or part time caretaker so you can take some time for yourself and feel less crazy? I am also pregnant and have a LI around yours age and I'm definitely planning on having the toddler in full time care while we adjust to life with a newborn again

Probably unpopular but I think you are wrong, that baby is also his and he has a right to his say. If you were feeling mentally unstable then you guys should have been cautious. Also being a sahm the majority of the child rearing falls to you. I’d find ways to destress because you’re in the thick of it right now, it will get better.

I don't think you're wrong. If he's unwilling to help with the baby that you currently have, it doesn't make sense for you guys to have another one. Also the yelling, slamming doors, hitting walls, etc, are NEVER okay. I don't care the situation he needs to learn to communicate like an adult.
