Will our relationship ever go back to before?!

Guys I’m 6m PP… I just need a light at the end of the tunnel.

I’ve never felt more distance from DP. 3month PP was a dream we were back to sleeping but the last 2 months have been hell again (sleep wise). We are sleep deprived, we argue more than ever, sometimes if I’m brutally honest I wonder if we will ever be on the same page again?
We occasionally have a laugh but most the time it’s pretty miserable…

To add to it DSC has moved in full time which I know adds strain.

I just need to know if it gets any better?

Yes! You need to hang in there and make an effort to be kind to each other. It’s easy to fall into a habit of snarking at each other when you are sleep deprived.

Parenting can be really hard, especially in the early years, but if you can hold fast now it makes it much, much easier in later years when you will need to be a team for the different parenting challenges the later years bring.

Yes, but not without effort on both sides. We currently have 2 under 2 so we are no strangers to sleep deprivation, relentless days/nights, and being passing ships, but I do honestly think as long as you keep communicating, finding SOME time for each other even if that is literally 2 minutes before you go to bed to cuddle, keep choosing each other and remain a team rather than getting into me vs you- you get through it!
