Boyfriend Issues

Hey y’all I need some help and advice. My baby is just over 7 weeks old and is the light of my life. Her dad, my boyfriend, hasn’t really been involved with her to the point when he held her yesterday, she just screamed the whole time until I took her. He’s changed maybe 6 diapers the entire time she’s been here. The last few days he has had off of work and instead of spending it at home or just with me and baby, he has gone hunting every single day. He comes home from work, maybe says hi to me, showers and then either sits on the couch on his phone or up in our room on his computer. He doesn’t cook, he doesn’t clean, and he doesn’t spend any time with the baby, doesn’t even really want to hold her. He irritated me yesterday because he said “when she’s older and I babysit her” as if to say he doesn’t have to parent her. I know a conversation needs to be had but I don’t know how to have it because he has a tendency to shut down when things are brought up that aren’t working.

I dealt with stuff like this as well and i finally asked myself “would my husband treat me this way”. That helped me to finally make the decision to breakup. You’ve given him the greatest joy someone can experience in their life and he still acts this way. There are plenty of people out there who would die to have what he takes for granted 🫶🏽

I thought my situation was bad I guess I have it made my man won’t change a single diaper but will watch her a few no problem my only problem is when she cries he gets scared and hands her back he’s a fisher man so on the weekends he does that and thinks because he’s worked all day he doesn’t have to chill with us it’s hard when u love someone babies change people that’s forso his mom is another thing but most men don’t actually have a relationship with their baby when it’s young because they seem to think they don’t know what to do with it I’m a first time mom so I’ve had to learn and I most definitely think there supposed to be two rules when having a child both parents have to play there part I’ve been so exhausted my baby is finally sleeping for longer at night before needing food which is nice because I’m the only one that gets up with her but you’ve got to make a decision for u and ur baby I’ve put my foot down and be like look something has to change or we leaving

Maybe you and him can do things to bond again. Sometimes it can be jealousy of the baby. I hope the situation gets better for the sake of baby girl.
