My daughter started nursery nearly a year ago and although she took some time to settle, she is now very settled and seems to enjoy it. I’ve really struggled with mom guilt since going back to work full time and it’s undoubtedly had a negative effect on mine and my partners relationship. I’ve put every ounce into making time special for my daughter during evenings and weekends. My partner plays football a couple of nights a week and also once or twice on the weekends. My partner definitely leads the way in initiating if we were to go out for dinner etc as I do feel like I’m in overdrive/survival just trying to balance work and life.
We’ve had an argument tonight on the basis that I don’t initiate anything and the relationship is more like two people living under one roof. It’s really upset me as I’m trying my hardest and we do have lots of great times particularly with our daughter, but I’m obviously not doing enough. Has anyone else experienced this and what you did to overcome it?
