I've always seen so much positive and sweet reactions/responses from husbands when their wives announce their pregnancy or even say, "I think I am pregnant (again)." My husband's reaction is always negative. He always ends up stress and angry with no mood. The first time we got pregnant was before we even tie the knot and he got very unhappy. He was very short tempered and he faced a problem at work. He got verbal and almost threw a chair to his boss. He was then suspended and eventually dismissed. We eventually had an abortion as both of us felt that we were not ready. A year on, we got pregnant again and he told his parents who then told us to tie the knot officially. After we gave birth to firstborn, he kept saying that he wanted another child to try for another gender as everyone keeps telling him that maybe next one is the other gender. But everytime I get pregnant, he ends up in hyper stress mode and he keep having second thoughts n unhappy about it. His response is always so negative.. never has it been a positive reaction. And i always regret telling him. Especially when it is not confirmed or just a fals alarm.. like "I think I am pregnant again." I just thought I tell him so he can be prepared but seems it is the wrong move. Makes me feel sad all the time. Like we are a burden and unwanted. Please tell me that I am not alone and that this negative reaction is normal.

I think that u should give ur husband some slack and consider that he might have some issues with regard to handling his own emotion and it's not about u or the pregnancy but that he just has such a tendency to be over-dressed about things? Could he be suffering from depression or anger management issues? Throwing a chair is really not acceptable in any scenario in a work setting. Maybe he needs professional help? I guess everyone will be upset if it was a false alarm and since u know his character then wait till it really is then say - there is no harm to just waiting to pee on the stick to confirm it right? If u think about it on the other hand, it could also because u all are too important to him and he overthinks about the responsibilities and stuff then he become like that. No one is a burden here yar. It's just the way a person is trained to think so in this case he is generally a easier to stress and be negative person so just don't take it personally and try to help him
