My partner wants me to stop breastfeeding my 5 month old

[jadericho]

Because, and I quote, it's stopping him from being a dad. He's angry because our son mainly wants me for comfort and he feels like he's got his nose shoved out. I've tried telling him he can comfort him in different ways but he's insisting it isn't working for us because he can't be as hands on as he wants to be. He keeps telling me I feed him too much. But he doesn't feed as such, he feeds a lot for comfort. I feel so out of sorts and I'm questioning everything. Like I'm wrong to comfort my son in the only way I really know how to because it's stopping him from being a dad. So he's literally said 'I can't support you breastfeeding anymore'. So now I really don't know what to do.. when

Bollocks you're 'shutting him out' he does and is involved in every other aspect of your child's rearing. There is literally only one thing you are doing that he can't. He is a selfish, controlling, arsehole twat for putting himself above your baby. He washes, plays with, puts to bed, carries around baby- approximately 6 times a day you are the one to provide care 100%. Don't try to justify this as him being s good dad. If he was he wouldn't be bullying you into bottle feeding when it juts isn't fecking necessary.

You want to know what else to do? Call him out on being a selfish and jealous git, who is trying to control you and the baby and tell him to feck off. That you aren't compromising the nutritional needs of a baby due to his need to control and be incharge. And if he doesn't like that, tough. That if he needs to control every aspect of his sons life, he needs help.

Would you consider a few sessions with a couples counselor? New baby is hard on a relationship.
