My Pregnant Wife (25f) says im working to much and am not paying attention to her. She is 8 months pregnant and going into month 9 and I know her hormones are going absolutely insane. A little bit of about us, Im a 33 year old male and she is 25. We've been married about a year and a half, I am an entrepreneur, she's stay at home wife. I was doing well for myself and we never had issues monetarily up until 2 years ago, business had suddenly taken a massive hit and consistent money was gone. I opened a new business as I noticed the other business may never recover. This new business needed time to grow and flourish. Over the last two years I began to build this business from the ground up. Although it wasn't quite enough to live 100% comfortably, I figured we can get through it. And while the other business was still not back, It was enough to get by. By October of last year I saw business growing, and suddenly my original business was seeing signs of light. I traveled for work to close an amazing deal ( or so I thought) that ended up sinking me. I lost all of my money and suddenly I was in debt. I was devastated, stressed, I was going crazy...but only in my head, not on the outside. I am not the type of person to give up but I was close. I went and began to grind my other business. I need to survive, I had already known about my kid at that point, and it made me go even harder. I was (and still am) on a tunnel vision with this new(er) business. I have been working what feels like 24/7. Business has drastically improved, but I have debts to pay and I want to makes sure my daughter and wife are fully taken care of. I cannot afford to fail nor will I. Back to my wife, I love her so much. She is an amazing human being, so kind, so funny, beautiful out of this world gorgeous. Her laugh is contagious. She has done an amazing job especially being her first pregnancy. We have been fighting a lot, and it's killing me. She tells me that I don't pay attention to her and im not emotionally available. she says "she misses the old me." Ive explained to her and apologized to her numerous times. I also try to explain to her the situation we're in at the moment and that im not fully here. Im in survival mode. My mind is constantly running, non stop, I don't sleep my nails are torn apart. I try to come home and spend a little time with her, but im not fully there. She talks to me and I'll be zoned out and not even hear her. And then she thinks im ignoring her. It's never intentional but sometimes I feel like her feelings are valid. ( They probably are) But I don't know if she really feels or sees what I'm going through and how messed up I am at the moment. On top of that, as of the last month, her patience is at a 0. She has an extremely short fuse. She thinks everything I ask or say or do is somehow an attack on her. an example of this was just today. She FT me because the air machine was taking air out of her tire instead of filling it. I proceeded to ask her if she already stopped by the tire shop near her location. She snapped on me for (and I quote verbatim) "why are you asking me questions, why won't you just help" and proceeded to hang up in my face. This short fuse has been extremely common over the last month. I really don't know what to do, and it's probably me. I just want it to stop... I want peace with my wife
