Is anyone starting to hate and resent their partner?
I love him so much but I just think he slacks with our baby. I understand he goes to work to pay for all the things we need. I feel like it gets thrown in my face and that because now I'm not working but looking after our baby, I have it easy. I'm not sure how everyone works night feeds with their partner but he does none during the week cause he doesn't want to be tired for work. He does then at weekend but I still am getting up with him to wake him up and calm the baby down whilst he makes bottles. So I feel like I never get a break. I can tell that when he finishes work he can't really be bothered helping me with the baby.
He mentions he doesn't get time for himself at all and that if tea isn't ready when he finishes work it ends up being really late and unfair. If baby is unsettled she will always come first before sorting our tea. It was our anniversary today but he brought me flowers and a card the day before because he was picking milk up for the baby and he wouldn't of wanted to go out of his way two days in a row for me. If I ask him to do anything he asks me what I'm doing. Like to make sure that I'm doing something in place of that so that's why he should do it. I could go on and on and on but I just feel alone and stuck. I feel it would be easier being alone than having to make sure he's looked after aswell. I just feel he's a very selfish person. If we're eating tea and the baby needs comforting or feeding. I will always sort her. He might finish his tea and then to out for a vape and go on his phone for 10 minutes. never offers to take baby so I can finish my tea. I dont ask anything because I shouldn't have too I just want the help without the asking because he cares and not just about himself.

I’m going through something very similar please feel free to private message me, feel like I could really use someone going through the same thing to talk to x
@Martina Thankyou for replying, I appreciate it was probably a long read for you also. Communication isn't great though as I feel everything I say gets misinterpreted or flipped back at me. I feel I'm just better off not saying anything although I know I cant carry on. It is very hard just adapting to being a mother without the added stress of your partner 😔
I hope your okay... I will give you a private message x
