Uh I never talk about stuff like this but basically we moved because of his job and while I was 8 weeks pregnant I don't know anyone here it was fine at the start..but He works hard and is to tired all the time for chat or a laugh.When he does get home he spends more than an hour in bathroom and watches telly...And we dont have great communication or any spark in our relationship since DD was born.. When DD gets colic or is frustrated or he feels pressure at work,he gets irritated and gets really distant and snaps really easy.I tried to fix our relationship but doesnt feel like I am getting anywhere..no family and no friends here..First time mum I love DD and would do anything for her...I just dunno what to do... Anyone ever find themselves in similar situation???

Yes, kind of.

We were in a city I wasn't happy in, didn't know anybody. Longed to be closer to family and friends.

He worked six/seven days a week. Even when he didn't need to. Our marriage was struggling (he is an exh now). I felt like a prisoner really. Loved DD to bits but there was nothing else.

Do you work?
Can you go and stay with family regularly?
It would be different if your relationship was working. You'd feel different about your life probably. It's a really lonely and miserable way to live.

I think you need to address your marriage. You say you've tried to fix it. Are you done trying? Do you want to end it?

It's OK to leave a marriage if it is making you miserable.
