I'm really struggling and I feel very alone at home. I need some support.
I'm not from here originally. I moved to be with my partner. We planned this pregnancy. I checked in with him and always asked if he was sure he felt ready.
Now I'm being made to feel like a burden.
He is incredibly frustrated to be the bread winner. He voiced that he feels trapped. We have really difficult discussion almost weekly now. I almost always walk away feeling like as the SAHM it's my responsibility to pick him back up. I do most of the parenting on my own. I have to ask him to watch our baby or to go do something as a family. He's angry and unhappy most days. I don't have very many friends here. The friends I do have here - their husband or partners are friends of my partner. So I really feel I can't vent. I feel incredibly alone. I sometimes feel like I can't cry or be upset because he then thinks I'm weaponising my feelings to shut down conversation or deflect accountability.
All the stress has affected my milk supply
I'm spiralling but trying to stay strong and happy for my baby.
I really just want one say where he goes out of his way to be nice to me. Like he's not violent or aggressive just an asshole.
Sorry these thoughts aren't organised. I'm emotional and feel crushed and am typing while nursing ( and trying not to cry). 🙃
I just wanna know I guess if anyone else has seen a change in their partner after baby arrived?

that sounds rough if he genuinely wanted the baby and ur relationship was good before could he maybe have ppd it goes unrecognised in a lot of men, could he talk to someone who isn’t u about all of this?
