Relationship on the BRINK

Hey. Help me please. Me and my partner have been at each others throats for WEEKS since we had our first baby about 2 months ago. Anyone else experiencing relationship problems? I love him but he is driving me nuts It's like we compete and like to prove eachother wrong when it comes to looking after our son. It's a learning curve for us both but I am finding it really hard to bite my tongue, and cut him slack too as it's new for us both.... But he also has no concept of postpartum hormones or anything despite me trying to explain how I feel. Just feel like our baby deserves better and is already growing up in a bit of a toxic house. I feel so guilty, alone and lost & I hate it so much :(

I feel you me and my fiancé have been the same when we feel like this we take my lo on a walk

In the same boat! Before LO was here me and my partner besrly ever argued. I feel the same like I can’t cut him slack his doing so much! He doesn’t understand the hormones or how or why i feel a certain way abit something and I’ve ended up putting him in difficult situations because if the way I feel. I’m sure you don’t have a toxic house you clearly love each other a lot and want to make it work, it will get better!

I literally threatened to divorce my husband because his pillow touched me the other night 😂 Postpartum is tough and rage is normal but it can also be a sign of postpartum depression or anxiety so if it gets to much definitely reach out to your health professionals. They are also adapting too but it can be hard to find a balance when you’re both tired, irritable and learning how to look after this new tiny human. This is my second kid so I can say it does get easier but it definitely does test your relationship in a whole new way x
