Rs with husband salty after having baby

Just wanted to rant, as a first time working mum and still adapting to the changes. Ever since my baby was born, till now 4m, i feel like my rs with husband is mostly on the salty bad side. It’s always us being triggered, arguments, quarrelling and fighting. I always feel like im not being appreciated or loved at all. Like i had a very bad traumatic long labour which ended up in csect, even after all the sacrifices i put myself and my body through, i still dont feel appreciated. My husband rarely hugs me, cuddle or even hold hand. I feel distant. We’re both working office hrs (there are times when he need to ot till night), and when back from work, need to fetch baby from infant care and by the time we’re back home we’re already so tired and out of energy. Even on weekends its very tiring. Due to always being tired and lack of sleep, we’re always triggered over the smallest things. Even when we’re out with just both of us without baby, we would end up fighting. So pls dont recommend date nights itll never work esp with baby and us wanting to stay home due to tiredness I always feel very lonely and sad. I want to be loved and appreciated. And no point bringing it up to my husband cs will end up huge fight. Any mummies also going thru this and does it get better?

It gets worse. My LO is 2, we stopped having intimacy for close to 2 years (started since during pregnancy) because we are all tired and no mood. Even thou we started having some bed couple time, it’s like once every 2-3 months or even longer? We quarrel almost every 2 days and it’s worse when we go out together. It peaks within the first 1&1/2 years. Talking to my husband is like talking to a wall, he doesn’t respond or he will try to victim play, go one round and it becomes my fault. Me on the other hand cannot stand his way, so I go head front. Talking does not work out for both of us, so we just forget it and sleep. Next day as long as both parties don’t bring it up, we act all normal. I don’t know what to advise you but for me, i just stopped expecting, live day by day. You treat me good, I treat you good. Who don’t want to have a good day, especially when end of the day all of us pretty much have no energy left.
