[quote=Anonymous]Had a baby in February and very similar situation. Ignore all the posters putting you down OP- maybe they went through it but when it’s fresh and you’re this vulnerable having recently given birth you need to surround yourself with helpful, positive people/things.
It’s extremely disappointing to go through pregnancy and labor with your partner and they feel like they dropped off the face of the Earth. I had to hire night help, bring in both of our moms. My husband thought he might have had PPD, but wouldn’t seek help and just holed himself away. Now a few months later things have smoothed out a bit. Baby basically sleeps through the night, husband helps for a few hours a day (he’s not currently working so ideally will take over more at some point). I feel so many things but most of all disappointed that this is more common for women to be the primary parent, especially if breastfeeding. Not making any excuses but it also feels like something society ingrained for many people. I thought we were different, but alas. [/quote]
