[quote=Anonymous]It does get better. The first 5 monts were really hard.  DH and I didn't fight, but we both struggled with some depression and some issues dealing with the change in our lives (DS was an IUD baby and the pregnancy wasn't discovered until I was out of the first trimester so there were other issues at play).

Anyways, we both got help for our depression and we both carved out time for time alone together, and time with friends.  Plus time just to ourselves.  Time to sleep in, Etc. We split up the duties very well and had open lines of communication regarding needs. I think that was huge.  No resentment built up, no being mad DH couldn't read my mind, Etc.

DS is now 2 and our relationship is better than it has ever been.  I respect DH and love him in a way that is totally different and totally better than how i felt about him before DS was born. 
My best advice for people in your situation is to be upfront with what you need, carve out time for your own needs individually, and carve out couple time.  [/quote]
