| The stress and fatigue of being new parents has been wearing on us. We bicker often and can't agree on much. I miss my husband and my marriage so much. How can we make our marriage survive new parenthood? |

Try to ride it out. It will pass.
You are both sleep deprived and irritable. You need to cancel and blow off everything else in favor of sleep. Try that for two weeks and see how you do. |

I have put my life on hold and that an issue for him. He wants to still go out and “ enjoy life” while I want to stay in. |

| Sounds like he's a naive and selfish man |

| Sounds like you need to reach a compromise. I think putting life on hold when you become parents is a bad idea, but obviously you can't keep doing what you did pre kids. But you still need to make time for each other. |

| The best thing you can do for your baby is have a solid relationship with your spouse. |

| Standing sitter for once a week date night, sometimes alone, sometimes with other couples. Consider it insurance against divorce. Try to have sex a few times a month to keep connection. |

| Have him find a group of guys he can go out with once a week. Play a sport or whatever. Have a fun night of cooking or take out and doing something fun at home. Go out with your baby to farmers markets or church or something else cheap and socialize. |

He just turned 11 weeks. |

| I’m sure this is normal but I have zero desire to go out on the town with an 11 week old at home. I want to spend all his waking time with him. I’m such a homebody now that I’ve become a mom. DH is a big extrovert and loves going out. He wants solo nights and to get out of the house often. Lack of sleep is a big issue for us too. |
