R/s with hubby

What was the most difficult thing you felt you and your hubby had to go through postpartum or during the pregnancy? Asking as a 26w ftm. We fight alot now because I feel he’s not ready but I always wonder if anything will change or even get worse after my kid is born.

Definitely postpartum. Especially with the extra frustrations from lack of sleep due to pumping and trying to learn how to revolve around a little human. Fighting is inevitable if your husband is not hands on enough to share your load. And also because we all have different ways and perspective on how to take care of baby, it gets even worse. For now, I would advise you to take care of yourself (be it mentally/physically) first, only when you’re cool and calm enough then you can see and think things differently. Don’t go and think of what hasn’t happen yet, who knows he may turn out to be a very handson daddy and hubby! Guys are very slow witted, you have to tell them what to do. Sometimes it’s not that they don’t want to do it (they probably don’t even know you’re angry btw), but they work on a “switch” mode. So if you want him to help, talk to him, assign task. Let him know you prefer him to be a team player when baby is out (let him know the things you want him to help). However, if you’re referring to after telling him and he is not willing to help then it’s a different thing. We fought a lot even before pregnancy because both of our character is “we won’t give way” which led to many many arguments. Subsequenly we just talk it out because we don’t want to keep fighting infront of baby. Communication and tone is very important. Don’t let your emotions overpower you.
