Default Having some issues

My wife and I have been married for almost two years now, and have a four month-old son after three miscarriages.

My wife started to get incredibly irritable around her fifth month of pregnancy, which is perfectly fine and acceptable. However, it has gotten much worse in the past two months. She knows it, says it bothers her, but doesn't do anything about it. Half the time when we talk, every few words from her will be a curse word. Anytime I try to make a comment or interject something in the middle of a rant, she completely blows me off.

As for me, I know I have communication issues that I have been working on myself (not just with us). I am a bit stubborn, but not un-cooperative. I don't like to argue with her, and I certainly don't curse at her. That isn't how I was raised.

I know we still love each other very much (at least I know I love her), but I'm tired of this. Not sure how much more I can take, and I don't know where to go from here. Any thoughts/ideas would be great.

It may just be her trying to adjust to motherhood. It is a huge change that you just can't fully understand until you do it. There were times after my first was born I thought I had made a mistake and I didn't know how I was going to deal with the responsibility. I was in a new place, didn't have many friends or family, and little support. I was only 20 years old too.

Sleepless nights and feeling overwhelmed can make anyone irritable.

It could also be post-partum depression. Best to talk to the doctor to rule this out.

Has your wife ever opened up concerning how she has felt about the three preceding miscarriages? Did she have the time and chance to mourn?

There may be a connection with that, postpartum, and other emotional issues.

You need to look at things that could causing this.

Is she tired? Does she get enough rest? Is she a SAHM?

I could be Post Partum depression.

See if you can get her to go to see her doc. Go with her and talk to him if you can.

How much time alone does she get so that she can rejuvinate?

How much time do the two of you spend together?
