My husband and me have been together for 20 years. We were young and so in love. Afte having our baby who is 1.5 year. My eyes have opened up and he is just so selfish.
He has never cooked, wont even make a sandwich or a wrap without my help.
He doesnt do the laundry.
Needs to be told what to do.
I am exhausted and feel I live with a man child.
He thinks he does a lot for our little one but its the bare minimum. All the mental load is on me.
What do I do?

You need to talk to him or go to couples therapy. Right now he thinks he is ok so you need to talk with him about what you need from him. If you think he will listen to a therapist go to one and tell them so they can help y'all... He may change. š¤·š»āāļø

donāt call it a quits just yet mama, this period of time is very hard. having a baby definitely does open our eyes on people. if yall are open to couples therapy I would try that. you probably need a good break as well. whenās the last time you had some āmeā time and a day where you werenāt in wife/mom mode?

if you havenāt already I would def have a real sit down w him. mom burnout is real and youāre still postpartum. if heās not willing to hear you out and change/be receptive then thats a red flag
