I'm not sure where to start.
I feel incredibly angry at my husband and have done for a few months. It started when he got a job after being unemployed for some time. He had been minding our dd while I went to work but as soon as he got his job sorting childcare became my problem!?
He also started to go to the gym before or after work which interfered with my working hours and limited my study time. I was also heavily pregnant through this.
Without any support from him I completed my coursework in a compressed period if time due to impending baby. I was also suffering horrific spd and other complications. He did nothing to support me at all through all of this.
I had our baby and while in delivery he said well done but that was it, he hasn't commented on how much an ordeal the pregnancy/study/work/birth were on me. He didn't so much as offer to get flowers or a card to mark the occasion.
2 weeks after baby was born I was baby working. I also developed nipple thrush and was in terrible pain. Again nothing, no acknowledgement or even sympathy.
I'm struggling back at work. I want to be at home with my baby. I feel like I have no bond with baby at all and feel I am the worst mother.
I've asked myself what I get from the relationship and the answer is nothing. I have asked him to adjust his behaviour and he hasn't bothered. I'm feeling lost and very low.
