Does anyone feel differently about their DH / OH since having the baby?
 
i dont feel different but i sence alot has changed between us we hardly talk he sits at pc all night but its weird cos when i ring him during the day its like im talking to a completly different person, he will say hows u babes and im missing u and i love you with all my heart and stuff but when were together im lucky if i get a hows u?

maybe its just me though :think:
 
I don't feel like I have a "partner" as such.. He's just like Rebecca's dad to me now. I don't get much affection out of him, and I don't make an effort to give it to him anymore, I keep thinking is it me? Is my body now that horrendous he can't bare to be near me? Don't even know what s*x is now! (tmi :oops: )

But when I get my angry head on, I think, I'd cope without you, no loss to me... :wink:

Hormones are still all over the place!

Hun I think most people's relationships change when a LO comes along, takes a lot of adapting...You're not alone tho.. :D
 
yep i still love my oh but i don't feel the same it annoys me he can do whatever he want's and go wherever he likes and buy whatever he wants and i have to sacrafice everything he thinks because he works his money is his and his weekend is his but wheres my break?
i feel really bitter and angry at him sometimes and i don't want to get close to him.

i think having a baby does put huge strain on a realationship but you can work through it best think to do is too talk about whats bothering you.
 
I still feel the same about my OH, and he feels the same about me - we've spoken about this and concluded that if we feel things changing, we'll try to do something about it. We're lucky in that we talk about stuff. We did sit down and negotiate what we did in Naomi's routine together - for instance, OH works at home and it would be very easy for me to take advantage and always be asking him to do stuff but I try not to during the day and he has the last feed at night. Then at weekends, I get a lie-in on Saturdays and he gets Sundays. He changes nappies and stuff and offers to bring her upstairs and is always wanting to help with little things. So the whole "being her dad" thing I think has only strengthened us. Which is good, because I was afraid that it would do the opposite.

Never be afraid to tell your OH how you feel about summat. Talking stuff out really helps. OH and I can say anything to each other, and that's brilliant.

I think it's very common to feel differently - like it's been said before those pesky hormones are to blame and I think it can also depend on how the oh/dh responds to the baby.

I'm lucky - my relationship with my dh has got stronger. Maybe part of that is that he's so brilliant with Zara and seeing him with her has shown me a different side to him which I really love. We also tend to work hard not to get angry with each other and work out any problems because of her.
