So, I have an interesting predicament.
I'm not feeling how I use to with my babys dad. Our baby has DS and my bf works 4-6 days a week swingshift, 12 hour days. I'm a SAHM.
We rarely go out together, when we do its at a comedy club for people he mostly likes. The last time we went, the opener asked who has old family members. Like 2 people replied, I noticed he wasnt getting much interaction so I shouted an answer out. My partner turned, asked why I'm yelling and, me with my PPD, PPA, and PPR (postpartum depression, anxiety, and rage) along with being ADHD and bipolar, i got really emotional. I got up and left.
Its like anytime I'm in a good mood for multiple consecutive days, he questions it. Not like "I'm happy you're in a good mood" but "you're being really talkative and its bothering me." So I've mostly stopped trying to talk to him unless its related to the house or our son.
We've been together since 2022.
I dont know if i should get a secret part job, ask his parents to watch baby boy, put the money aside from an apartment and just leave one day before texting him I cant be in a relationship or fvcking what. But I'm at a loss.
I suggested couples therapy, he thought just us talking would be all we needed. I've told him my issues and he'll get better for a few days and go back into it.
Am I just being too sensitive? There's so much more but I feel its already so long.

Have you made suggestions of places you’d like to go on dates. Sounds like you’re very lonely and it’s hard because at the same time I’m sure he’d love to work less but he’s providing for y’all which is also probably putting him on edge as well with those long hours. Not saying your feelings are not valid just giving you a different perspective hon. Perhaps join a moms group in the mean time at your local church or find a FB group that meets up regularly just a suggestion. It’s simple to say the grass is greener on the other side but the truth is that it’s greener where you decide to water it!

He sounds like me x. Sick of listening to me talk...like what the F is that.? So disrespectful. Sounds like a one sided relationship for sure. He should listen and care and you should go places you want to go as well! He also shouldn't be embarrassing you in front of his friends! The whole thing isn't healthy ...
