Advice needed and honesty appreciated.
I have been with my partner for nearly 2 years and I have a 4 month old baby. We have fun together and get alone well most of the time but I just feel he doesn't notice or appreciate me any more and quite frankly I find him quite throughtless.
When we found out I was pregnant he was brilliant, he moved to my area and we bought a house. He pays all the bills and I don't have to worry about money at all and he works very hard. But when I was pregnant I suffered very bad mourning sickness yet got no sympathy or help at all. I worked long hours full time, did all the cooking and cleaning, he never lifts a finger, and over Christmas was dragged through several social functions, some until 4 in the morning ( we were away with family so I couldn't leave, and I was also taxi) and there was no consideration for me. Now we have baby I am finding it quite difficult with the lack of sleep and keeping on top of day to day life as he does not lift a finger. I have spoken to him several times but I get nothing, he says he does help and he tries his best. But his best isn't good enough, doing the washing up after being cooked for isn't much help. He never gets up in the night and now is growing very little affection towards me. I have told him I have been feeling very low but don't get much of a response. I also have missed all of my social activities planned over the festive period due to being so tired and worn out but he has attended all of his sometimes going out until 4 in the morning. And last night was the final straw, I was crying and saying how tired and upset I was so he finally agreed to look after baby all night. To which I woke in the night to find baby crying for ages and him in bed awake, when I asked what was going on he said is was letting baby cry it out, something which we don't agree to, he just couldn't be bothered to deal with baby. And when I went baby was just hungry, fed and when straight back to sleep?
I am unsure what to do. I am starting to feel like I hate my partner and I am feeling so miserable.
