So this evening my DP knocked over a bottle of breast milk that I had just pumped, and was very difficult to get as I was trying to BF DD at the same time. He immediately got on the defensive, rather than being contrite, and it ended in us having a row and now not talking. I know it wasn't intentional but he just doesn't seem to get how upsetting it is to see something you've worked hard to get (while living on fumes) be ruined.
He has been amazing in a lot of ways especially in the last few months of pregnancy as I was so ill. He's also been great since I had my c section a week ago but I get the feeling he isn't coping as well now. Our 3 year old is very excited about the new baby but has been acting up. I feel I'm having to check on him and how he's feeling all the time as I feel so bad I can't do more to help. I wonder sometimes if he thinks I'm being lazy...he made a joke about it earlier.
I was sobbing tonight and he just sat next to me on his phone ignoring the fact I was in bits.
I've no idea how to move forward from this :( He will want to just forget it happened, but I can't as having a new baby is hard enough without your only source of support.
