i have just given birth a week and a half ago and am so upset every day. hubby and i are arguing every single day - is this normal? i thought this was the time they were supposed to support you. he has just started college full time, with 2 days off a week. he could only get a few days paternity, and has been back for a week full time. on the days off, he is going in to study from 9 - 5. he went to play footi a night after college, i have to go to bed at 8 as my baby is up all night and its the only time i will get any sleep so we hardly see each other and when we do all we do is fight. he expects me to be going out with the baby in the car at this stage and im not confident enough yet. he thinks im demanding too much when im upset because he isn't with me more. when he comes in he doesn't take the baby for me to get a break. everytime we talk about shared duties there are arguments, upsets and i just am so so unhappy - when i have visitors i am an entirely different person i am so much happier with others than with him. we haven't been getting on for a long time...is this post birth a stressful time for everyone or do you find your oH more supportive? i feel so alone and upset this is when i need the most support emotionally and i don't have it. am i being unreasonable? i just feel like leaving him. even when i am on my own i do better than dealing with arguments constantly i just cannot do it anymore. the only place i could go is my parents. im so tired. thanks for listening
