My husband has ‘fallen to sleep’ on sofa. When I’ve gone downstairs to make a night feed, I’ve asked why he’s down here and that’s what he’s said. Fast forward 45 minutes later, he’s made no effort to come up to bed, which means another weekend of wakes and feeds for me and a full nights rest for him. Our baby is stopping out tomorrow and then it’ll fall to me to do it all again Sunday night and then through the week because he’s back at work. To top it off we seem to be back in the sleep regression 🙃 I’m so angry about it all that he just gets to ‘fall asleep’ anywhere and have another weekend ‘off duty’ then complains if he stops out one night on a weekend because he claims to have not spent time with him which I reply if you helped on a night, he’d not need to stop out for me to have a rest!
I’m so tired and overwhelmed so I could be just venting and overreacting but I don’t think I am!

You have every right to be angry. The fact you are always the one to wake up with him is already dick move. Did he sleep on the couch on purpose? Is he doing it to get out of feeding during the night. You can try to communicate or you can try to just tell him that no matter where he sleeps tonight he will be the one feeding. Although idk how well that would work. Idk that's really rough but he in fact is being a dick.

My ex husband never wakes up for any night feeding since we brought our son home from the hospital 3 months ago

There was a point where my husband would go down stairs and sleep on a cot in the basement during the week when the baby was crying on and off through the night and I would get so frustrated because I was staying up almost all night with the baby and I wanted to sleep next to my husband, but at the same time I understood that he needed his rest for work.
I talked to him about how I was feeling and he understood. Eventually things start getting better for us and now we are sleeping in the same bed again.
