Partner Connection

I agree with Zoe above, deffo a phase from my experience. Once the baby turns 6 months and there’s a slightly more established routine, in their own bed, eating meals etc, it all starts to slowly go back to a new normal. Emotions are also all over the place for you and your partner I’m sure as everyone is still just surviving at this point. Keep talking, don’t throw in the towel with him. I also think he needs to put in some effort too to communicate more by the sounds of it. Just keep expressing your feelings in a way he’ll hear you. Sometimes before bed isn’t ideal as you’re both probably ready to pass out and not get into a deep conversation. Just have to find the right time you’re both going to listen and hear each other! Wish you the best!
@Zoë We've been in the roommate stage before, when I was on the depo injection it completely switched me off and caused depression but I had to drag myself out of it, he was supportive in the sense that he didn't get bored or cheat etc, he was patient with me, but not overly supportive of useful with words. It's just tough when everything feels one sided to get things back on the right path 😞
Big big thing is communication. It is totally normal to have these feelings and I’m sure many of us 2nd/3rd/4th time mums can tell you, you do go through a bit of a “roommate” stage! I remember it with my 1st and again now! You will get through it and if you don’t then it was never right in the first place! Having a child places a huge change in dynamic when it comes to relationships! Don’t be so hard on yourself, really sit down with him and lay it all out with how you’re feeling!
