Am I wrong ?
So I am pregnant with our third child and it’s our son’s birthday today. My partner hasn’t been amazing this pregnancy and today he wanted to go to the pub with his friend for a drink and I said I didn’t think that was okay. He then opened the front door and I asked what are you doing. He then proceeded to have a go at me and tell me not to tell him what to do.

My son is 5 today x
You’re not wrong.
Your husband should always prioritize family over personal luxuries.
Wow ok why is he going out on his sons 5th birthday. That's kind of sad really isn't it, why could he go the next day! Really don't see the need on missing his sons bday for a drink? Your not in the wrong x

Sounds daft but depending on the age of your son - he might not even notice his daddy nipping out for an hour or so and as long as it’s 1 or 2 drinks and not rocking back home at 2am blotto me personally would probably let it go. You say he hasn’t been amazing this pregnancy - could he have anxiety about a 3rd child, how to afford them, how he will cope with another baby and the sleepless nights and noise and mess that comes with them. Maybe he’s worried that he won’t bond with the baby the same as the other 2 will require attention. Men are weird creatures and don’t talk about these worries, instead majority will bottle them up and it comes out as negative behaviour such as having a go and saying don’t tell me what to do. I obviously don’t know him or yourself so only you know if this is out of character for him or is there an underlying issue? BUT you’re not wrong either for wanting family time and his attitude is unacceptable. I would defo recommend trying to talk to him about it.
