Being pregnant is one of the most physically and emotionally taxing things a person can go through, and while it’s sweet that our partners want to be empathetic, they’re not the ones who are preggers.
Now, a woman is asking for advice after she’s about to hit her wits end after her husband claims he has morning sickness, too.

Look, everyone knows Reddit is the perfect place to anonymously air out your relationship issues.
Regardless of the topic, strangers on the internet will help you through these tough times, which is just what happened to a woman who posted on Reddit’s relationship community about her husband.
“My husband (28M) and I (29F) have been arguing over this issue,” the mom-to-be admitted.
“I’m now 11 weeks pregnant with my first baby and I’ve been experience morning sickness and it’s been horrible (like constantly throwing up).”
“A while after I first started experiencing morning sickness, my husband has also started to experience something similar,” she continued.
“I was told that sometimes husbands can also experience this and it’s called sympathetic pregnancy… The thing is, I hate it,” she admitted.
“I hate that he’s going through it, and for some reason it really annoys me. And it’s not just like a small feeling of annoyance but more of an utterly disgusted feeling.”
“I just get so pissed off when I see him get morning sickness. I feel like he’ll never know what I’m going through, the constant discomfort and pain. It feels as if he’s just mimicking me, like he’ll never truly understand how hard this pregnancy is,” she explained.
Admittedly, this is her first pregnancy so she admits she’s unsure if this is normal.
“This is my first time being pregnant so I’m not sure if this is normal. know it’s wrong of me to think this but I just can’t stop, it seems so stupid… We talked about it again and he said it wasn’t anything he could do about it because he couldn’t control it.
“And I get that, but I was kind of hoping he would stop doing it in front of me. I know this sounds stupid but we keep arguing over it.”
“I’m so torn because I know there’s nothing he can do but I just feel so frustrated and it’s really affecting how I act around him. Because now I don’t like having him around me,” she added.
She proceeded to ask the Reddit community for their advice.
I can totally see why she’s feeling frustrated and honestly, I don’t know what I would do in that situation!
