Relationship dilemma

[Queensgambit57]

Context: Me and my partner have been together for 5 years. We had a good relationship. Not really liked him at first, but evolving together, I have discovered his qualities and started to love him. He has a great character and is also very caring and loving.
Recently I gave birth to our first child and we had to move house to have our own space.
I have invited my mom over to help us before giving birth, for a month.
My mom was all good at first, but then started to point weaknesses she noticed in my partner, weaknesses I was aware of. I told her we are working to improve them.
The next day after I gave birth, my partner and mom had a pretty big argument and they came to see me in the hospital in the evening, although I specified to my partner that I would like them to come in the morning to offer me support. My partner wanted to get the house ready for when I came home, but my mom thought it would be more important to come straight to the hospital. I really felt alone and awful that day. We have discussed about this and he apologised for his behaviour and said that the pressure of being a new father and the argument with my mom has impacted his decision process.
Moreover, I noticed that I am irritated now due to tiredness and stress from caring for our newborn.
I love my husband, but there are some traits I don't like. Also, our intimate life has been affected as we had a long period without any intimacy during my pregnancy. Recently I discovered we really needed to express physical affection to each other. These past events made me reevaluate my relationship and I was also considering leaving him.
What are your thoughts on this?

My thoughts are that bringing a newborn baby into a relationship is very stressful for both partners and you should be cutting each other some slack. No sleep, no sex, crappy meals, messy house, distracted partner, new things to learn - of course it's stressful.

Hang in there, it gets better.

You don't specify what weaknesses and character traits you don't like about your partner - we all have them and I'm sure you do too. No-one is perfect! Having his mother in law come and stay for a month and criticise him must have been pretty stressful, as is moving house and having a new baby. I wouldn't make any decision to leave right now. What has he done that's so awful you want to break up?

You haven’t mentioned anything that warrants a divorce.
Either more info is needed or we can’t give our opinions.

Really depends what these irritating traits are. Nothing you said requires divorce reading this but the fact your mother is concerned may mean the traits are more than irritations. I’d be pissed off about the lack of support at the hospital too if he’s said sorry genuinely then I’d forgive it depending what these irritating other traits are

Has your mother come from abroad? Because yes having her over for a MONTH sounds verytricky for your dh!

It reads as though you didn't like him when you started the relationship! Why would you go out with someone you don't like? How long did it take for you to "evolve" together? Sounds strange.

AS others have said, give him a break. His life has turned upside down and he has his Mil staying for a month! It's tougher for fathers I think because whilst your life has also turned upside down, as the mother, you get the closeness with the baby as compensation.

Keep talking and KOKO.
