[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband and I have an almost 5-week-old. We had numerous discussions re expectations as a couple/parents, how our days would be structured, who assumes what responsibilities. It went well the first 3 weeks until my husband went back to work and decided he was too busy and threw our game plan out the window. It’s been a lot of complaining on his end when I ask him to do set things he agreed upon. Any extra responsibilities is met with sighs and annoyance. I’m over his attitude and lack of help.

I sat him down today and told him this is not how I want marriage to go and will strongly consider whether I want to stay in this marriage. I elaborated that he is not keeping promises or operating as a team or a loving supportive spouse. He got angry and told me I’m being irrational and that I’m spoiled and ungrateful. While it sucks we are here, I don’t feel my reasonings and feelings are irrational. Please offer some advice or help me see that maybe I’m being too harsh on him in this trying time.[/quote]

Wow, you are in post-partum mania/depression OP.

You should chill out before you ruin your child's life forever. [/quote]

What a jerk response. I would be miserable too and be considering divorce if my dh acted like the child wasn't his responsibility as well. He should be supporting his spouse, not calling her names. He's being an ass and we should at least acknowledge that.

The responses to this post are full of misogynistic hate. She is going through a lot and many of you don't acknowledge this at all. If he thinks op is spoiled or ungrateful for expecting help with their child, we all know he is the spoiled and ungrateful one. Just because he isn't enjoying the difficult post birth experience doesn't mean he gets to throw up his hands and run away. On top of being exhausted from non stop feeding and baby care, op's body is going through tremendous change and it sounds like her dh could care less. You really see how people are when the chips are down and my guess is op had to bring out the nuclear option to get this lug to hear her.

Good luck op. I'm sorry you are going through this. I hope your dh wakes up, but more than likely you are seeing what he is really like. [/quote]
