[quote=Anonymous]My H and I had been together for almost twenty years when we had our son. And that first year was rough, especially since our son had many health issues. We had almost broken up a few years prior to our son's birth, and I truly think all the hard work we did rebuilding our relationship and the trust between us helped when going through that stressful first year. It's very easy to create a competitive dynamic when the baby is around (you sleep more/I sleep less; I do more; you do less; etc) and I think it is key to talk through responsibilities as much as possible. Also maybe some counseling wouldn't hurt, to talk about stuff in front of a third party. If you're not into that, my H and I have a standing time for talks after our son goes to bed. In these talks we discuss things bothering us and how to tackle them together. And also talk about the good things going on, because it's easy to only focus on the bad stuff. Good luck.[/quote]
