[quote=Anonymous]Are you still in the first 6 weeks?  If so, just try to buckle down and get through.  Communicate clearly with him, and do your best to watch your tone.  If you need help, ASK FOR IT.  Be clear.  Do not hint at it or ask in a round about way.  "I need you to do X, thank you".

Make sure you are looking at for yourself some.  Do not feel guilty taking some extra time to sleep or eat or whatever.  Drop anything "extra" that is draining energy. 100% of your energy goes into your family right now, you, your DH and your baby.  There will be time for other things later.

I visited a friend once who was about 3 weeks post partum.  She was livid at her DH.  She was looking up divorce attorneys.  She had her mother convinced her DH was the worst person on the planet and that she'd made a huge mistake.  6 months later when I brought up how upset she had been SHE HAD NO MEMORY OF IT.  None.  She knew they'd had a rough time, but didn't remember telling me she wanted to get divorced.

So yes, please hang in there.  No major life decisions should be made in the first 6 weeks.  [/quote]
