I feel like I'm doing this pretty much alone
Hey, so I'm in a relationship, but I feel like I'm mostly taking care of our son alone. My son is 4 months old and my bf is always in the other room, he sometimes comes out when the baby is crying, but usually for like 5 mins, not more than 15 mins at a time tho. He was much more helpful in the first 2 months, but not rlly anymore. He used to feed him sometimes, but now He doesn't at all unless I'm in the bathroom, but he stops as soon as I get back. He doesn't have a job atm so he's always betting to "make money" it's been kinda working so far, but he spends all of his time doing that and pretty much no time at all with me or our son. Am I overreacting or am I rlly pretty much doing this on my own now?

Him taking care of your guys child is also a form of showing you love. Not just the baby. It's showing he respects you enough to not make you feel alone or like you are struggling. Draining your mental health. Feeling taking advantage of. Maybe try to plant that into his head.

Nope. Plenty of videos online of different lawyers saying the #1 reason they see divorce happen these days is because the husband doesn't help and expects their wife to do everything. I left the father of my children because not only did he not help with the house, but like you are going through, he completely abandoned our kids. 5 years after leaving, the situation hasn't changed much. My ex didn't have a father growing up his dad was in prison, nobody exactly stepped in, and he was raised by angry women who told him he was perfect and he could do not wrong (no I'm not just saying that lol). I don't think he understands how to be a father. I say this because I don't know your situation, maybe he lacks somewhere that both of you have not seen and he doesn't understand how to be a father? The father of my last child knew how to be a father. I did not have to tell him anything. Do you guys have communication issues? Would getting down to the bottom of this cause a fight?
