Ok, here's why I started this thread. BF and I have been arguing more lately. It's not that bad at all, but I don't know if it's a bad sign.
Back story: we dated casually on/off (always off for stuff like school, too busy, etc) when I got pregnant. We decided to stay friends and go that route. For 9 months we saw each other/talked once or twice a week...and didn't fight once.
A week before Lillian's birth we decided to try to be together. In three months with a newborn, we had one argument and one kinda misunderstanding. The argument was when I just sort of told him I was taking our 6 week to Florida and didn't give him a chance to say no...we talked about it and it was fine.
He also got mad very briefly when I kept telling him to be careful with her. I told him it wasn't anything to do with my confidence in him as a parent, I'm not ACTUALLY worried he won't be careful with her, etc, and it seemed fine.
A few days ago, he was touching her with an electric massage thing, so I said "just keep it on low, she's very delicate". He was like "you act like I don't know anything about babies". Then, he set her on the couch so I said "don't leave her on the couch".
I don't know why I said it, I KNOW he isn't going to leave her on the couch...but he got PISSED. He was like "fine, I'll just never touch her again so you don't have to worry". I should have apologized but I felt like he was being ridiculous. He got over it quickly, though.
Last night the same crap happened. The baby was crying, and he was holding her, but wasn't doing anything to make her stop. I was like "don't just let her cry". And went to take her. He got mad, and took her outside. I said I didn't mean to upset him and was sorry, and he was ok, but moody for the rest of the night.
I just feel like I can't predict what he's going to get pissy about. He's also under more stress now, working like 60 hours a week, up for a promotion, but idk. Stress isn't an excuse to snap at me so much.
What do I do? I'm planning on just revisiting the "I have plenty of confidence in you" thing and telling him how much it bothers me when he gets like that...
