Im really struggling right now with my partner.
Im 3 months PP with a planned baby.
My partner and i are constantly falling out. He says he is not expecting me to do everything but is literally expecting me to do everything. Keeps telling me i am not doing enough and that he is working so i should be doing the housework. Ive been really trying lately as baby is getting easier to put down but he does not see me at all. Find myself walking on eggshells and afraid of doing anything for myself. Ive tried talking to him on so many levels but each week it gets worse. I am also breastfeeding and up all hours of the night.
Feeling really stuck and unhappy at the moment. Im only on SMP and have no one who can watch the baby for me when i do go back to work so will be paying for nursery. I earn £16 per hour and worked 35 hours before the baby.
How do i get out of this situation if we cant make things work? I dont want my mental health to continue to decline because of the way he is treating me.
Our rent is £900 per month for reference so there is no way i could afford to be on my own.
