Feel like my partner and I are drifting apart

Me and my partner went through the exact same things at 6 weeks. I ended up going on a family vacation for a week and a half. And it was so much help for both of us. We still struggle and my daughter will be one next week. We are actually going through it again 😩 but we found weekly meetings with each other really help as a check in. Each Saturday night we grab a bottle of wine and sit down and talk, we have a few questions we go through to lead a conversation. 🩷🩷🩷

@Candice wow! I love that!

it’s totally normal! the first year of a new baby’s life is the hardest year for parents. find a way to communicate those feelings towards him & know this is temporary! you guys have new priorities now. start to prioritize date nights even if they are just game nights in after bedtime with some pizza you ordered. it will get better 🤍

@Karry we started it and it really helped and we noticed a lot of improvement. Then we stopped and we started having issues again. We are starting again this Saturday night. We do it after the baby goes to sleep. Sometimes it is as quick as 15 minutes other times it’s been two hours. We always watch a show after together.

Talk to him and see what y'all can do to bring each other together again

We tried to explain this to you when you talked about the situation with his ex and their kids. He's not a solid partner to have children with, and you should've observed his level of commitment prior to having a child with him. Now you've given up your leverage thinking you were better than his ex and that things would be different.
