[quote=Anonymous]Either you are depressed and misreading the situation or your DH is already checked out. Perhaps it's kind of both? If you are miserable, he is emotionally distancing himself as a (bad) coping mechanism? Is there anyone around you beside the baby during the day? Do you have a friend to come over, a family member, or are you mostly alone? I found the loneliness to be the worst part of maternity leave, and I'm an introvert, so maybe what you need is more human interaction, and then you'll relax, and once you'll relax, your DH will too, and will pitch in more? Try your best to get out of the house. My DH and I used to go for drives during baby's nap time, and the baby would sleep in the car seat, sometimes we even went out to eat and brought the baby in the car seat. It helped us relax together. Or we'd take the stroller and go for a walk and just hang out. Being out in nature is emotionally therapeutic, and you both could use a break.[/quote]
