Partner got his hair transplant 2 months ago and started going gym again.
I can’t lie he looks hotter than ever before meanwhile I feel like absolute shit.
He’s tries to help but it’s not enough.
He would never be happy with me leaving them with him to go do something for myself like my hair or just some time with my friends yet his life remains the same, in fact he’s thriving.
Only thing I’m happy with is he does on Sundays he lets me have a 1 hour lay in while he deals with toddler and baby.
No I don’t have a village just him.
Am I overreacting?

Honestly I wouldn’t care if he’s happy or not to have the children they’re his kids too! You deserve time for yourself to feel human and have a life outside of your children.
How we look and feel about ourselves really does affect our mental health and that affects how we show up for our families. He needs to work with you so that you can both feel good and fulfilled

He can go to the gym but you don’t get to leave them with him?! Wild!! They’re equally your kids and you should have time too!

Is he working and you are home with the kids? If so, this dynamic tends to happen where his type of helping may be more of leading financially to “help” then after work he tends to you and his kids. I wouldn’t get discouraged. Force and implement together time for him to spend as much time with the kids as possible, this way it’s not just about you going to the gym, if you want to lay in bed for fun that should be important for the both of you. lol
