Hi
I have been married for just over a year. Me and my husband have a 9 week old baby.
Before our baby arrived our relationship was extremely strong. We always made an effort to communicate effectively and we respected and cared for each other. I never felt I had to keep anything to myself and nor did my husband and because of this, we were extremely happy.
Since baby things are obviously tough. What with my sleep deprivation and us both adjusting to a new normal. However, in the past, challenges have always brought us closer together. No matter what I do, I feel as if we're drifting further and further apart.
My husband seems to be snapping at me all the time and behaves as if I am attacking him. We have had some discussions about it and he apologises and says he realises he's being defensive. He always says he'll try harder but within 12 hours it's happening again. It's making me feel so isolated and alone. I've stopped saying things to him because I'm scared of how he'll take it. He says it's because he's tired and stressed because of work. I need him now more than ever but I feel the furthest from him.
It makes me feel so sad because he must think I'm a horrible person else why would he always perceive me to be having a go at him? I don't know what to do. I am so sad and just want things to be ok.
