DH says I’ve changed since having DC!

Wondering if anyone else has had this issue with their partner and what they did about it if so?

We have 14 months old twins. They are IVF babies and spent the first month of their lives in NICU. Nothing about having them has been remotely easy, although the babies themselves are obviously the loveliest things in the worldSmile

Unfortunately things have just gone downhill between DH and I since they were born. Lately he’s been telling me I’ve changed since they’ve been born. He pretty much says I’m obsessed with them and that I have no time for him anymoreSad I’ve explained to him that I’m a super stressed mother of two little babies and that at the minute I can’t really make more time for him because there’s basically no time to spare! I understand his frustration but I feel like he just doesn’t get how hard things are for me.

Anyone else found themselves in this sort of situation? Any suggestions as to what I can do would be much appreciated. I feel so sad about it all.

@nuckyscarnation she is obsessed with the kid. Like literally obsessed. She has no identity now! She’s his mum and that’s all she is. She used to have a variety of interests and now he’s all she talks about! It’s coma inducing. Kind of get why he divorced her to be honest.

Thing is there might be some truth in it. Your children are important but so is your husband. You may think there's no time, but make time! If he's unhappy it will impact the relationship with the father for sure.
