I feel you, I've been feeling exactly the same way and my partner has exacerbated those feelings a few times by just being inconsiderate and selfish with his time after work so we're going through a major rough patch rn. But like you, I miss my best friend and how we used to be 💔 I don't really have any advice just know you're far from alone on this one x
I also just wanted to comment and say that you are most definitely not alone in feeling this way and from what others have said to me, it's really common. My partner doesn't help matters (in my eyes) by always suggesting I stop breastfeeding when we argue, I find it so frustrating! I actually went to the doctor last week as I was feeling so overwhelmed and sad. It did help talking to someone and I've been referred to the perinatal mental health team for support. You have done well reaching out on here as a first step, you aren't alone x
Can you have an evening away from the baby? Any family to have them so you can have a date night? If not, do it yourselves at home. Watch a movie, no phones. Amazon have these cool murder mystery packs if that's your vibe. Last week me and my husband painted coasters just as something to do together. They're crap but it was funny to see what we each came up with. Be open and honest with your partner about how you're feeling. Motherhood is so much harder than anyone tells you it will be but I promise it'll get better ❤️ If you ever need someone to rant to, my inbox is always open!
