Marriage different after babies
Did anyone else's marriage feel really different after having a baby? Like you love your husband but you also kind of cannot stand him sometimes? How did you get through it?
You’re definitely not alone 😭 A lot of couples struggle after having a baby, even if they had a strong relationship before. Sleep deprivation, mental load, hormones, different parenting styles, and lack of couple time can make small things feel 10x more irritating. Sometimes it’s not even that you love your husband less, but you’re just exhausted and overstimulated all the time. Many mums also end up silently carrying more of the invisible work, which builds resentment fast. What helped for many couples: - communicating needs more directly instead of hoping the other person notices - splitting responsibilities more clearly - intentionally making time to talk about non-baby things again - giving each other small breaks/rest time - remembering you’re both adjusting to a huge identity shift too The first year with a baby can be really hard on marriages. Doesn’t automatically mean the relationship is failing ❤️
