My marriage is fine. My husband spends plenty of time with the baby. We talk every night and our relationship is good. We still talk and have a loving relationship. The only issue is he doesn’t want to hear about the breastfeeding issues because he feels like I’m making it hard on myself when there were solutions that could abscess made it easier. He still wants to hear about our day and checks in with me. He just doesn’t want to hear about breastfeeding. We still talk every night and our relationship hasn’t changed.

I'm the person who suggested finding a support group or therapist, I'm glad you're taking my advice. Good luck to you, OP!

+1. OP hopefully you will learn doing your parenthood journey that just because you have a goal as a parent or want to do something as a parent doesn’t mean that you need to rigidly stick to it. Also, if you’re prone to martyrdom then watch yourself. Your kids and husband will resent you if you make sacrifices and then get on your high horse about them.
