@Whitemousepinkears

It’s very sweet that people are imagining he cries for me. He doesn’t. He can be right next to me in bed and will scream. I’ve been up with him two hours now and if I move, he screams. Tiny helpless baby my arse! I wish I’d never bought into that attachment crap. If I had my time again I’d Gina ford all the way.
Yeah.. he sounds like he’s uncomfortable. He doesn’t want to be up either

If all medical reasons such as pain have been addressed , then Id would do sleep training at this stage for my santity and health. Do you have a decent health visitor?

Some pretty judgy tones on here. It is completely normal to feel as OP does. I did, I hated my life for months, and I don't feel guilty about it. It doesn't mean I don't love my DC. Sleep deprivation is pure fucking torture. The only way to cope is to try and find ways to get some blocks of sleep whenever possible, and if that means ear plugs while your OH looks after the baby, so be it.

It will pass OP. One day - and probably not that far off in the grand scheme of things - you will sleep for 8 hours uninterrupted and wake up before your baby. Don't give up!!
