Hi all,
I hope you don't mind my posting here but I am needing to vent. I am a new Mum with a 3month old son and am loving every second of being a mum to him. The only thing that is really getting me down at the moment is my husband! Throughout my pregnancy I made a huge effort to make sure my husband was involved in my appointments etc so that he felt a part of what was going on. Since our son was born though he suddenly has become totally unsupportive. I am feeling the weight of having a new baby whilst keeping on top of house work, washing, cleaning, ironing etc etc. My husband seems to add to my work load constantly by leaving things lying around for me to tidy up and every night he goes for a hour and a half long bath leaving when I feel he should be spending time with his son or at least giving me a break. I have tried to talk to him but it always turns around to me feeling guilty and apologising to him! To finish it all we haven't been intimate since the birth of our son and although he never pressurises me (in fact he never mentions it) it is something that is at the back of my mind but I am scared to do it for the first time after having given birth.
I just wondered if anyone else had experienced anything like this with a partner and whether there was any advice you could give me.
Thank you so much.
