Today, my pregnant wife's parents called me at work, saying she'd been crying inconsolably and wouldn't say what was wrong. After pleading with my boss, I rushed home. Turns out there was an "ugly" sofa in a TV ad and she felt it was "picking on ugly sofas". FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.

Today, I called my wife from work to check in on her because she's eight months pregnant. She didn't answer. Instead she showed up at my work hysterically crying and screaming, "You don't love me because I'm a fat whale!" She then knocked everything off my desk. FML
Today, my pregnant wife paged my emergency line at work. Thinking she was in serious danger, I raced home and found her hysterically crying. When I asked her what was going on, she replied, "The dogs won't stop barking!" FML
Today, my very pregnant wife woke up in bed, grabbing her stomach and writhing in pain. Worried that the baby might be in distress, I asked her what was wrong. She gasped then let out what can only be described as a river of hot liquid shit all over herself and my legs. We both cried. FML
Today, my pregnant wife has been crying for hours after she found out that I’d slept with the woman who does her ultrasounds. That woman happened to have been my prom date nearly 20 years ago and I had no idea she moved back in town, let alone worked for our doctor. FML
Today, I got to experience the horror of my wife's pregnancy. She woke me up abruptly at 5 am by throwing up all over me due to her terrible morning sickness, then ate pickles covered in mayonnaise, and later dropped to the floor sobbing when I told her we were out of dog food. FML
Today, my husband and I were looking for a new house. The open house we were in had a strange floral scent to entice the buyers. I am three months pregnant and have horrible morning sickness. I threw up all over the living room. FML
Today, my girlfriend told me she's pregnant and I did not take it well. She had planned to record my happy reaction for Facebook; instead she got video of me bursting into tears, and trying to talk her into an emergency abortion. She sent it to my parents to punish me. FML
Today, stressed to the point of breakdown over my impending daughter's birth, I went to a small church. After a long talk with the pastor, I finally began to feel some calm and peace. Too bad my wife flipped out, accused me of wanting to make her a "handmaid" and made me sleep on the couch. FML

...before calling it "ugly" maybe she should think about the couch's feelings.

Just think, after the baby is born you can recover from the preggy hormones with some fun post-partum depression! Yay!

Sounds like her parents may have been overreacting...

Is this both yours first child? Maybe she's not used to the hormones

Women's emotions are extremely abnormal while they're pregnant, so just prepare yourself

Were you raised on Rom Coms?

OP she probably didn't call you because she knew she was being irrational, I know pregnancy hormones can be awful, but her parents should have tried to figure out what was wrong before calling you. It sucks but you'll all get through it and you'll have some funny memories in the future.

at least it wasn't YOUR couch. it'd be a lot worse if it was one you just bought and she decided to hate it.

Actually there is significant evidence to suggest that women often overreact during pregnancy due to the common belief that their hormones will make them act that way. Not to say that the hormonal changes don't play a large part, but that social expectations do tend to skew their normal reactions.

I never acted that way while pregnant. The hormones don't change THAT much. It just makes you sadder for things that you would normally be sad about.

I didn't act any different from before I was pregnant, but everyone is different and everyone's hormones affect people in different ways. Some women are almost psychotic when pregnant and some are laid back and a whole host in between. And women will be different through different pregnancies. Any societal impact will be negligible at best.

You're a good husband, OP.
