Relationship

Hey girls, I’m struggling and feel like me & my partner are just bickering all the time. 5 months pp. I know things are different and we’re finding our way but, I hat it. We never used to. Sometimes feel like marriage is failing. Anyone else?

Having babies puts lots of strain on relationships take into considerations your hormones and sleep deprivation we all become different people . As you said you are both finding your way.. so have patience. Communication is key, so perhaps sit and chat about how you are both feeling.. not just about the arguments and relationship but you are genuinely feeling.. There has to be lots of give and take in these early months.. There will be testing times ahead perhaps you can both agree if one of you is getting frustrated with the other that you pause on whatever the situation is and have a time out.. take this time to reflect and when emotions are less heightened you can sit and discuss the issue. Hope things get better xx

This is really common so soon after baby, your hormones are still all over the place and you’ve had this massive change in your lives! Don’t stress too much it should all settle down as you find your new normal. Just remember to try and talk to each other instead of bickering at each other x

Definitely see about talking about how both of you saw a situation. My husband and I would fight and after a talk we found it was my wording that was confusing him. I would say something like "do you want to help me with her bath" and he would say he was fine. What I meant was "I want help giving her a bath" what he heard was "I'm giving her a bath I don't have a preference if you come or not". Another time she was fussing while I was cooking so he picked her up and I asked "do you want to feed her" and he said "don't worry I'll hold her until you finish eating". I wanted him to feed her and he was thinking I was just asking if he wanted to. This made me angry like he didn't want to help and I would get mad at him. He would then not understand why I was mad which would cause a fight. Once we talked and had me change "do you want to feed her" to "please feed her" things got a lot better. We still fight but it's definitely been a lot better.
