Am I overreacting? My husband compared me to his Ex.
So my husband and I are currently going through IVF. This is our 3rd cycle scheduled which means I have gone through the shots, we have paid tons of money, and I am stressed to the max. This will be my first child while my husband has 2 from a previous marriage.
Yesterday we went to the doctor for a check up and to get blood drawn. I had to get poked in both my arm and my hand because they couldn’t get enough out of my arm. 🙄 anyways when we got home I was taking the bandages off and the one in my arm was on there really good and I was slightly saying “ow ow ow” as I was running my arm under water to loosen the bandage tape.
My husband proceeded to say to me “if you can’t handle a little tape how are you going to handle giving birth?” I immediately got pissed but tried to play it off and said “that is very different, also how would you know? Have you pushed a baby out of your vagina?” Which he responded “no but I’ve seen it done a few times”
Now this is where I might be a little bit of an asshole because I told him to stop and to not compare me to his ex. He got very pissed off saying it was a joke and he wasn’t comparing me to anyone. I told him he hurt my feelings anyways and haven’t talked to him since yesterday. I’m waiting for an apology and he keeps getting mad every time he realizes I’m still upset. It’s like he thinks I’m not allowed to be pissed at him and he doesn’t have to apologize.
So, am I overreacting?
