[quote=Anonymous]I agree you should get counseling. 
Marriage is a team effort. 
THAT SAID.....I supported my DH during his education and thought he would go back to work. He basically never did. He ended up being a stay-at-home-dad. I am OK with this, but sometimes it is hard to be the sole breadwinner. However, he does A LOT and is not a slacker in our marriage. Work is work, whether it is at home taking care of the kids or at work in an office.
Marriage is really hard with a baby. It does a number on even very strong marriages. You need to assume good intentions on both sides and assume you are both making a good faith effort here. Tell him you feel overwhelmed and need help, and tell him specifically what you need. Don't just do everything yourself. Part of the work of parenting and marriage is taking care of yourself first so that you have the inner peace to be the person you want to be. Go out with your friends. Leave the baby with hubby for an evening. Carve out some free time for yourself. It is not selfish, it is part of your job. [/quote]
