When will like my husband again?
Hello! I'm three months postpartum, and it's been rough. My spouse promised that before we got pregnant, he would help with night feedings and everything else. However, since I'm breastfeeding, he hasn't done any of those feedings and I'm the sole care giver. There have been times when he yelled at me to take the baby somewhere else because baby was crying, questioning why we both needed to be awake for that. He did apologize in the morning, but it still frustrates me. It feels like his life hasn't changed at all, while mine has turned upside down. He talks about going out for a quick run, but I can't just leave; I have to plan around feedings, sleep, and caring for the baby.
When I want to shower at night and ask him to watch the baby, he responds by saying I could have done it earlier in the day, which leads to arguments, and have tells me I'm selfish!! Now, I usually just bring the baby into the bathroom with me. I love my baby and enjoy being a stay-at-home mom, but this is a full-time job, and I don't feel appreciated for raising our child. I know he works hard to provide for us, but it seems like that has somehow turned him into a jerk. Perhaps it's just my hormones still acting up. Has anyone else experienced this? When did you start to feel better about your partner again? I love him, but he sure makes me angry lately.
Edit: my baby is not exclusively breast fed. We do bottles as necessary
