Good Morning All
I've never been on here before, but I am trawling for support.
My Partner and I have a baby (Art: 4 months old).
She came to me in the middle of the night this week telling me that she no longer wants to be together. It felt odd because it was 1am and she hasn't thought about what happens next.
For context, we have had some tough times through being tired, nothing more than bickering (of which we are mutually responsible), but she says she is worn down.
I am completely devastated for us and for the family that we have made together.
Could this be a sign of prenatal depression? She has not spoken to anyone about it before making this decision. I am so torn as to whether I need to take her words and accept that she doesn't want to be together or to fight and push for her to seek support.
Advice is truly appreciated.

I am doing my fair share with baby and housework. Her sleep is bad because she is expressing milk and waking every 4hrs ish to pump milk.

I have asked and asked, she repeats the I am unhappy.
I ask what can I do or change (I am willing to do anything) she says not, she says we just aren't getting on (but we do seem to get on for the most part, but she is in a real rut)

@BarleySugars Sorry what does rote line mean? Understand that I am always available to talk with her and will always try to change if something is said.
