As for your H- he "knows" he can get you to back down and "come around" to the way you were. Do you really want him to have this power over you?
NM's point is really interesting, BD. I hadn't thought about it this way, but yes, he could be somehow manipulating you. He sends REALLY mixed messages. It would be very hard to be around him a lot while he says "I don't want to be with you that way." (BTW, the part about a stepmom? How RUDE!!!)
I agree with what Piano said-- it's important that you create the calmest pregnancy that you can. And that may mean a little dimness for a while.
