Constantly arguing
We’re 10 weeks into parent life and me and my partner just seem to argue. I seem to do everything around the house and with our LO and I don’t feel appreciated.
He works away all week and when he gets home on a weekend I think he just sees it as his time off and wants to relax.
Little things are turning into arguments and he just sulks and acts like he’s so hard done to. He’s so negative about everything and it’s really getting me down.
We argued a couple of weekends ago and I said how I was feeling and explained how different it was for me and him cause my worlds completely changed and he barely has. He said he understood and was better for that weekend but seems to have just gone back to before
I don’t know what to do, I’m really starting to understand why so many couples break up soon after having a baby!

I feel that I reading my story. My suggestion is trying couples therapy before is too late. My partner just left me with a 16 week old after 12 years of relationship. Feel free to message me. Whatever the outcome is… We will be able to do this together x

Hi, half a couple here who has broken up after having a baby. Our LO is 13 weeks old now and I left (with our daughter) almost 3 weeks ago and moved in with my parents. Happy to discuss my experience privately if you want but if not, I understand. Just think about what you and your baby want, need, and deserve, both separately and as a family. Communication is important. Ultimately I decided that the support I was getting from my partner wasn't enough. I left for a break and said I'd think about going back. He's still not accepted it and keeps talking about "when we're all back together". There were other issues for us, but yeah I just couldn't cope with him anymore.
