My wife and I have been trying to get pregnant for 5 years and finally just before she turned forty, we found out that she is pregnant. We are both extremly happy about it. My wife is now 8 weeks into her pregnancy. Because of her age, her pregnancy is considered risky so we decided that she takes a break from work and stay home at least for the first trimester. Now, the problem is that she expects me to do all the house work especially over the weekends when I am home. I do the cooking, cleaning dishes and the kitchen, laundary, etc. I am totally fine with doing all of those when she needs to take a nap or when she feels nauseous. But a lot of times, she is just sitting on the couch and watching drama on her tablet while I am doing house chores. She does not even take her dirty dishes back to the kitchen when she is done eating. I also work a full time job and feel like this is too much for me to handle. Today, I finally vented and told her that just because she is pregnant she is not supposed to sit on the couch and do nothing. She didn't like my comment at all and we had a small fight. but nevertheless she reluctantly helped me with the laundary and also cooked dinner for tonight. But she is very mad at me and does not want to talk despite my several atempts to talk to her. I tried to appologiz for raising my voice but didn't help. she even told me that she really wishes that she could go back to her home country which really breaks my heart after all that I have done trying to be supportive. we are both immigrants to Canada from two different countries. We have no familly here and that makes things harder for us.
I am confused and don't know what to do. I appreciate comments from anyone with similar experience.
