Hello ladies, so I feel as though my partner doesn’t understand how much of a toll postpartum actually has on a woman’s self esteem and that I just want to feel loved, seen and celebrated and or appreciated. Does anyone else feel like their partner sees them as a mum to their baby and not their partner anymore I feel like we are roommates😆🙂 sadly sometimes I feel like he doesn’t really love or care for me as if love either and idek if it’s the hormones talking or not but i genuinely feel like if we didn’t have our baby and this was the standard of relationship I’d be having with him then I would be stay only because I want someone that’s gonna adore me and lift me up not just do routines for baby and go about our lives separately… how do I even come to tell him how I feel? When we tried to discuss this in the past I have a habit of saying “I’d like you to do this…” “you make me feel this way…” so as a man he feels attacks and lectured when I’m just trying to fix whatever it is that’s making me feel this way. Any tips?
