Almost 1 year postpartum (with the most incredible, intelligent, loving, and funny baby) but I just keep resenting my husband more and more - am I alone? Does it get better?
My husband was a rockstar through pregnancy and early postpartum, then at the six week mark, things changed. he struggled with our baby growing and changing, my needs changing, and family drama - he withdrew and i was in survival mode, parenting 24/7. things got worse (both between us and with his family - which was super tough on him but he took it out on us in the sense of not being present or available) then better, we've both been in therapy but he still does things (however well-meaning and thoughtful) that trigger me and send me into a rage. He does have his sleep needs and personal time needs met (while I do NOT), but has struggled to parent our child (both in grasping the amount of work, watching our baby for cues - ie cuddling if he hurt himself, or not revving baby up when he’s tired, stepping up, and easily frustrated / overwhelmed). my rage and anger towards him just seems to get stronger and stronger. am I alone? What helped you?
