i’m not sure where to turn and have found very few useful reading material. i think im mostly looking for other opinions and thoughts.
my baby has just turned 3 months and she means the world to me!
i feel like the relationship i have with her dad is not progressive and almost toxic.
since being pregnant, all the way through to now, i feel as though i’m very much alone. he started working a week before i was born and now contributes almost nothing towards the baby and I, luckily, I earned enough comission at work to cover all 3 of us. He works 5 days a week, comes home and spends the rest of his evening playing games or on his phone. I am exhausted a lot of the time of course because of looking after little bubba, but also during labour, i lost so much blood, I am now anaemic. My partner rarely gets up to do night feeds which means i get maximum 6 hours sleep a night. We rarely get intimate anymore, he openely expresses how fat I’ve become because I dont do anything about it, but I genuinely don’t have anybody to keep the baby for an hour. I try support him mentally, but I feel as though I’m losing myself also.
can things get better?
