Does it work? My husband and i have one baby, and he’s gone most the time at work, it’s stressful enough for him to deal with work and it takes such a toll on him , i struggle to see it and i feel i make his life more difficult. But i dont know if he’s willing to go or how to convince him

Having a neutral third party who is trained in helping you guys navigate your personal communication and relationship dynamic issues can be very beneficial.

Maybe tell him that you recognize that you’re having a hard time seeing things from his vantage point and you want to be more fair to him. Tell him I think having someone else help us communicate could help and offer to let him pick the therapist. Maybe he’d be more open to it then.

Im sorry. You can only control you. Maybe when you are in a good space not to react emotionally ask him if he has anything to help your marriage.

If he again responds unkind set your boundaries. Maybe go to counseling on your own. Let him know that you’re going to work on you because you can only control you. Let him know that you will do everything you can to make it work in your end because if it doesn’t you want to be able to look at yourself and your child knowing that you did everything you can to make it work. Tell him you hope he feels the same.

Sometimes working on yourself and working on being happy and healthy is enough to make a partner see that they need to change before losing you.

I hope this is a down of the ups and down of marriage and that it will turn around. Sending you love ❤️

I doubt you are as much of a burden as you seem to believe you are. You’re taking care of your and his baby. Best of luck, I hope things improve for you guys!
