Irritated by husband

I'm a first time mum and my baby is 6 months old. I'm having overwhelming feelings of irritation with regard to my husband. Its like EVERY SINGLE THING he does annoys me to the core. The way he speaks, things he says, his attitude, clothes he's wearing, EVERYTHING!
I have heard that this is all part of having and child and perhaps also hormones are assisting here but really I want to know if it will ever stop? or when it might stop?
It's not that I am overwhelmed/exhausted by looking after our child or anything because really he's such an easy baby. If you have experience of this please advise.

I didn't want to read and run.
I had a similar experience when I had DS1, to me it seemed that having a baby highlighted everything I hated about exDP.
Maybe you could get some time together and talk it out? Explain alittle of how you are feeling but in a constructive way?
That might be all you both need and then things will turn around.

You can feel what you like. Don't act on your feelings, particularly by denigrating his childcare skills. Right now, you're at one of the most dangerous points for a family. If you display your contempt and disgust for him, he has the option of leaving. It's a cowardly one, which is I why I didn't walk when I got stick for merely existing. But I had a bag packed for the moment it got violent.
Talk to each other, and count to ten between each response.
