I think this is really bad advice/mentality. The reality is that new parents feel these things and you make a decision as a couple there in the trenches in the beginning about whether you're still going to care for each other in the post kid world.

OP isn't doing anything wrong. But neither is OP's DH. In fact I'd argue that by being up front and honest about it instead of quietly retreating into resentment like a lot of men that he's doing a good thing.

Figuring out how to fit caring for your relationship into your new life caring for young kids is not something to be lightly discarded. I think it is the difference between people who last in happy relationships and those that don't.

Yes ops husband needs to suck it up for a bit. But talking that through and figuring out why and how eventually they'll come back together is how you approach that together.
