So it wasn't hormonal. sorry OP. Your wife married you because she wanted a husband and kids by a certain time and her life and you were available, she convinced yourself you the one. Now that she has her baby she has no use for you. It won't get better no matter how many dirty dishes ( wtf?) you do.
It was . It was like drinking some kind of truth potion that made me not take bs any longer. My tolerance for my DH’s subtle abuse just disappeared. It was a revelation, and I remembered it even after pregnancy was over. I had firmer boundaries.

I’d it’s unrelenting enough that you are considering moving to the guest room then it’s time to have a conversation with her. I’m wondering if you are picking up the slack with household responsibilities, etc. - might she feel unsupported? Perhaps the dirty dishes in the sink that she usually overlooks are intolerable right now. Time to look inward and see if there’s anything more you could be doing.
