I don’t think my husband really understands what postpartum is like leh… This period has been damn tough for me. Every time I try to tell him how I feel, he thinks I not grateful to have a baby. Sometimes he even like to compare... say he also tired from work, come home so late, then all he hears is me complaining. But honestly, when he comes home, I finally feel like got someone I can talk to... someone I can pour out everything from the whole day. But when I explain to him, he just say I finding excuses again. Wah, I really very tired already. Everything feels so one-sided.

It's incredibly tough when you're navigating such a challenging postpartum period and feel like your husband doesn't truly grasp what it's like. That feeling of not being understood, especially when you're trying to share your struggles, is incredibly isolating and unfair. It sounds like you're carrying a huge emotional and physical load, and when you finally have someone to talk to, being met with comparisons or being told you're "finding excuses" must feel incredibly disheartening. This feeling of everything being one-sided adds to the overwhelming exhaustion you're experiencing, often stemming from both partners being tired and misinterpreting each other's needs.
