I want to say that my husband has never ever behaved like this before. This is the first he’s ever scared me and I have no idea what to do. 

I am 23 weeks pregnant with our first baby and we have been married for three years. I am f24 and he is m32. 

My husband owns firearms and works in law enforcement and is trained to handle them safely. They stay in a locked safe at home and he has never once played around with them. All of that is for context. 

So as for what happened yesterday, I was simply walking through the kitchen as I noticed my husband at the kitchen counter looking at one of the firearms. I didn’t say anything but I looked over at him, wondering what he was doing. He had gotten home from work and right before this we talked for a bit, we had dinner, and I took a shower. Everything was good and normal. 

As I looked at him, my husband looked up at me and stared for a second, blinked, and then picked the gun up and pointed it at my tummy, with a completely straight face.

My heart fucking dropped of course and I smacked the gun down. My husband then started laughing. But the split second of pure seriousness on his face was terrifying. I asked him why the fuck he did that and he says “do you think it scared him?” Talking about, I assume, the baby. 

I didn’t know what to say but tears welled up in my eyes. This prompted a half an hour long apology and hours of “comfort” from him, with claims that he “wasn’t thinking” but also “just joking”. 

The look in his eyes scared me. The fact that he pointed the gun at me is terrifying. Idk what to do. I’m so upset. I’m so distraught. Am I overreacting?
