How do you know when your marriage is over?

I hate to say ask this, only been married 4 years but feeling lately like I don’t even know my partner anymore

He clearly isn’t investing time or care into our marriage

When I cry and express my feelings he shows no sympathy or love, never apologies for hurting me

He’s always defending himself and I feel alone

I truly don’t know what to do. I’m 19 weeks pregnant have a 2.5 year old

I’m scared and don’t want this for my life

Head smacking

My 13 month old has started smacking himself on the head. It’s usually when he’s frustrated but he’s never done it before. Anyone else’s doing this and any possible idea why?!

Nap time

Where are you all putting your little ones to sleep? Baby is 4 months old and currently naps in his Moses basket in the living room with the TV on and me coming in and out etc. should I be putting him in his crib? I read somewhere that daytime naps should be light and noisy (to an extent) so they can differentiate, but thinking I should try him upstairs in our bedroom?

Does it get easier?

My husband is high functioning Asperger’s and everytime our LO cries, he gets overwhelmed and can never attend to her - meaning I have to rush and come back home or run to her.

He shuts down and stares rather than call my help to stop it getting to this point.

I appreciate he thinks he’s giving me a break but makes it worse as I now have to regulate them both 🫠

Any tips as I just want to enjoy 5 mins to myself without having to always jump in because the times I show him my tricks - he’d rather play video games or be on his phone!

He is also having difficulty bonding due to postpartum depression

He keeps saying when she’s older it’ll help him as “what does she have to cry about, you do everything for her”😳 he forgets she’s a baby at times and natural to cry (trauma from his parents)

Walking

My 16 month old has just started confidently walking recently and I’ve noticed that he walks on the insides of his feet but on his right foot it’s much more noticeable like his ankle rolls in more.

Is that just normal when little ones first start walking and as they get more confident they flatten out their foot more or should I take him to see someone about about it?

Bath

Hi ladies I’m 8 days postpartum after having a c section just wondered when people started too have baths? Just cautious as I’ve been avoiding getting it directly wet in the shower 🥹
