get some counselling now. tomorrow morning. this has all gone horribly wrong and you are both in babyshock. get help.

Yes, couples and/or individual counselling sounds very wise.

A few thoughts:

  1. The year after a new baby comes (particularly the first baby) is really hard on everyone.
  1. You have managed to replicate your childhood nightmare. This is, unfortunately, What People Do. Therapy is a good way forward here.

the first few months of having a baby are a NIGHTMARE. for everyone. try to not make drastic decisions now, but wait a bit until things have settled down. it is a very hard adjustment to make.

remember how you were before.
the stresses and strains of new babies are immense.
don;t do anything drastic just now.
i hope you will be fine

I wonder if your dh is depressed - doesn't excuse him being an arse, but I do think he needs to get some help.

He is being a prize tosser. trust your feelings ...sleep deprived or not you deserve better! God I feel for you right now.. its hard as it is without your other half whining in the background about his feelings.

Do you have a good friend to offload on for some objective advice?

Yes the first few months are hard. My DS is 17 weeks. BUT.. that does not give him a reason to say such things to you.. To be honest.. when the baby haze lifts I doubt I could forgive him for the way he has been towards you and the things he says are just so hurtful.

I don't think he is depressed.. he is selfish.

Well done you for getting this far (HUG)
