To just want a normal, happy family life

[Dogdaysarenotover]

Where you all wake up together and tickle and hug in bed, have nice breakfasts and dinners..do you have this?
Since Dd, 3 came along, Dp and I have drifted apart more and more, we both love her so very much, but somethings happened between us and I’m not sure it will ever come back.
Currently lay in bed crying on a sunny day after another toxic exchange by text (don’t argue in front of Dd) we can’t even seem to have a conversation easily these days
I just want a happy, simple family life, especially for DD’s sake. Would I be happier alone?
Do you all have this? It’s not asking a lot is it?

Have you told him you'd love it if you could all wake up in bed together and have a cuddle - not everything in your dream but a really good start at least! It you want something it's vital that you communicate that in a positive way

If I was you I would start by beforehand asking him if he's happy in your relationship and does he still want to be in it. Don't ask in an aggressive or confrontational way no matter how much you feel he deserves it. Because if he doesn't really want to be in it it doesn't matter what you do, you won't get anywhere. If he does want to be in it then ask if you can both put more time into doing things together - doing things together is vital in a relationship to keep that bond and connection. Tell him you feel like you're both quite stressed and unhappy and can you talk about what you could both do to try to make this easier and better for you both. Try to keep things on track by keeping the conversation on what you could both do together. Perhaps you could both write a list of what you each think YOU could do to improve things a little bit. You'll see how committed he is by how much he puts down, if he's not interested he'll make no effort or commitment to changing in any way.
