Hi, I'm new to this but would just like other people's opinions. Me and my boyfriend have been together 6 years. We have a beautiful baby boy together who's 3 months. I understand he works and he's tired but is that an excuse to make me do everything? I have to ask him to do things for his child, ask if I can take a shower etc. I don't know if I'm over thinking things but even my labour he was there but not there. I wouldn't of noticed if he was in the room or not. I don't feel like he loves me as he calls me out as I'm on maternity pay. Saying things about me not being able to have any money due to him paying more to bills as I'm on half pay. I've been ignored for three days now, I hate that atmosphere, honestly so fed up and feeling so low. Sorry for the long post. Am I just over thinking everything?

No, you're just thinking too much without coming to a conclusion. A conclusion you probay don't want to come to. That your partner, isn't a nice man.

He does feck all for your kid (didn't even care about you or it enough to support you during childbirth) and berates you about money...and he ignores you?!? You know that is abuse right? Normal people dont ignore other people. He is being a shit, because he is a shit.

Do you have family who are supportive? If so, I suggest you look into moving in with them. Your asshole partner will only ever get worse. Run.

I told him I was going to stay with my sister tonight and now he's saying I'm taking his child. He finishes work at 7 and baby's asleep for 9. He's never usually bothered when he goes to gym or goes out to his mates. Just making everything difficult

He is just worried he won't have his tea on the table I suspect, rather than the fact he will miss his child. Don't tell him you're going to your sister's - just do it.
He may work long hours but looking after a baby is a full time job too and you get no time to yourself. Aside from all of that, he should WANT to spend quality time with his baby.
Was baby planned and was he excited when you fell pregnant?

Stay with your sister and don't go back to the knob

He's trying to make you the bad guy. He doesn't give two hoots about spending time with the kid, he just wants to make you feel like you are the one in the wrong.

If you get a chance, while you are safe at your sister's, check out some youtube videos on narcissists. Melanie tonia Evan's is good :) bet it will ring bells.

Our relationship has never ever been easy. Baby wasn't planned no, we had actually split up and moved out when I found out I was pregnant. I wanted to try again because no one wants a broken home. When I was pregnant I was still expected to work clean house cook tea etc. Pregnancy was easy to him, this might sound minor but when I needed my back rubbing or my feet it never happened. I got grief if I didn't want to have sex. I don't want him to make out I'm using my son as a weapon. Loads of people have told me he's a narcissist I know he is. My head is in overdrive

Yeah you need to get yourself out. When have you ever heard an adult say 'I wish my mum had stayed longer with my abusive father'. Never.

A home should be safe and free from abuse. Make a home for you and your child somewhere away from him.

There is nothing wrong with you. Please know that your feelings are valid. You are not a bad person. And yes, he might try make you out to be the baddy but if people who know you believe him, then they aren't the sort of people who are worth your time anyway.

It's natural to be concerned with other ppls opinions- but you gotta find a way to find your own value and know your opinion of you is what counts first and foremost.

When you get away from him you'll hopefully get some headspace back n hear yourself again rather than his voice.

You can do it :) you had a baby on your own ffs - so you are totally a strong badass!

Agree with the others, dont go bac
