[quote=Anonymous]Husband was utterly useless at first and would do things like plop food next to me on the couch that was just out of arms reach and not ask if he could cut it up or take the baby for a minute so I could feed myself. Never occurred to him to bring me water or generally help proactively at all. He’s not an intuitive or empathetic person in general. It’s his only character flaw because he’s generally an extremely kind, patient, hardworking person. That put a strain on our marriage and I told him so, so he stepped up big time after the newborn phase. Our daughter was the world’s worst sleeper, and he did the 3-5 am shift for a year despite working a 60 hour a week job without complaint. He also did all laundry, pet care, and dishes. He now gets up and takes her for 2 hours every morning so I can sleep in after doing the night (she no longer accepts his help at night, only wants mom). [/quote]
