husband has taken a nosedive.? My little one just turned 3 months and I've been feeling sad, weepy and quite frankly lost for the last couple of months. I love my baby a lot and there's never a day I don't look forward to seeing him after a long day's work. He's at a sitter during day and I work full time, so whatever time I have with him I cherish it. My baby sleeps through the night, so for that, I am thankful. There really isn’t anything wrong with my baby but there is everything wrong with my husband.
Since the baby arrived, there has never been a grace period of happiness and I am constantly annoyed at him for being annoyed at me. I don’t know if this is PPD. I highly doubt it. I am happy most of the time when he is not around to spread his bad vibe. He’s become very protective of the baby and at times condemns how I look after my own child. To begin with, I am not an instinctive mother (is there such a thing) but I work hard on making sure my baby is happy and comfortable.
My husband has become rather OCD over the child, makes great fuss about how we should bring the baby out (ie: we must only be out at this time to this time etc) and many other paranoia on the list. What has grated me more than once was how he makes me feel trapped and lost and makes me feel like I am the biggest idiot as a mother. Every step I take, there’s a mistake pointed out. But when he makes a mistake, he regards it as insignificant (although it was the same mistake I made and he made a big deal of). I reel back in and cry all the time. I wish he would just leave me alone. He’s become rather abusive verbally, not only to me but to his own parents and mine. All of which I told him off and he became defensive.
I’ve developed immense hatred for someone I used to love deeply. How did this happen?
