I just don't feel the "love"

God grant me the Serenity to accept the things I Cannot change?

Courage to change the things I can

And Wisdom to know the difference?

I feel so terrible I have changed my name.

Please help me.

Over the last month or so, and especially over the festive period - I have realised my lack of feelings for my DP.
We have a young baby together, and we've been together for 2 years, all happened very quickly and I have to admit, I didn't know him very well when I got pregnant but we made it work, but I don't think I can much longer, and I'm not doing what my parents did, and try to make it work, just for the kids...

He tells me he loves me, he tries to make love to me - but I just cant bring myself to, I dont wnat to even kiss him when he comes in from work.

He is starting to get fustrated and angry at me, he wants me to tell him whats wrong, but if I tell him, that's it... isnt it? Forever.

I love him as he is the father of my little girl, who I love so much it hurts - but it's taken so long for him to try to bother being a good daddy to her, Ive lost my patience and just want to leave.

Help me, Please

Do you resent him for it taking him a while to be a good daddy? What has made you feel like this?

I was in an awful relationship and couldn't bear my ex near me, I figured it was best to get out although it was different for me as we didn't have any children.

You realy have to sit down and talk to him otherwise you will make yourself ill and that wont do any of you any good. No staying together just for your little girl won't work because it will be her that will suffer in the end. I tried that with my ex and my 2 ds's were 2 and 3 at the time. Once we split things were very amicable and in fact we got on better than when we were together. Still do now 10 years later.

Feeling low, especially this time of year is very common and you have a young child that can be very tiring and time consuming, u have probably forgot what u saw in him in the 1st place! u really need to communicate n tell him how u feel. Then when its all out and if u still feel the same, move one, its a big world out there and you're not alone.

Sit down & chat to him. The resentment will build up & won't be good for either of you. Do you work out of the home?

Maybe if you had a chat with him it would be better in the long run for both of you.
