Ever second guess if your partner is right for you?

I constantly question myself, whether my partner is right for me or not. We bicker so much, specially since living together and having a baby. It's very tiring and although I sometimes excuse him, because I know he's stressed out, since we are a one income household for now, but he has recently hurt my feeling by how he "voiced" needing help. He basically always says he doesn't have money for things I want or things we need for the house but he has money to spend on his cars and get them fixed because that seems to be his priority. I've asked him straight out, so you don't have money for me and baby but you do for your things, and that's where the fights start. I know it's his money and he earns it and he's free to do whatever he wants with it, but I guess it's disappointing to feel like we aren't a team and his needs will always come first. He doesn't help around the house, only makes more mess, won't even pick up his plate from the table, and his excuse is because he goes to work and does his job. My "job" is to take care of the house. Didn't know it meant being a maid. Also, lately whenever I ask him for help, which I shouldn't be doing because he lives here and is also a parent...he tells me to not tell him what to do, so he won't do it, or if I remind him of things we need to do it buy for the house he'll tell me to shut up because I already told him 10thousand times. So if I stay quiet and not say anything he just acts butthurt. It bums me out because I question whether this will last and how I don't want my child to be raised in 2 house holds. I know the importance of both parents into he same house. Any advice? Has anyone gone thru this?

I don't think you should stay with someone because you want your child to have 2 parents in the home personally. He's showing you that he doesn't care about your needs or what your family needs. I understand being stressed out but treating you like a maid isn't something someone who's stressed would do. He doesn't even help with his own baby? If you're having to constantly question if you are right for each other, I think the answer is clear to see, I'm sorry you're going through this though especially dealing with postpartum. Do you really want your baby to grow up and see how your partner treats you And then think that's normal? Because it's definitely not normal or okay in my opinion. If he's not understanding to what you need from him and not willing to try then I don't see how it could work out. I wish you luck though ❤️❤️❤️ everything I said is with love

Sorry to be blunt but he sounds like an asshole. I would be out of that relationship if it was me. But I know it's not always that simple. Do what you need to, to be happy and your baby to happy to 😊 happy mummy, happy baby x

Thank you both for your words. I will definitely keep them in mind. It is a hard decision to make but that's why they are decisions. 😓🙏🏻

Having a 2 parent household cancels out if it’s toxic, setting bad examples, and detrimental to the mother’s mental health. The mother’s well being has the biggest effect on the wellbeing of the children… Maybe some counseling or mediation could help. But weigh all your options rather than letting the number of parents under one roof dictate your entire decision.
