hi all
I have to ask your advice on something.
Yesterday OH had a day off, only the second since LO was born, so we had a chance to spend the day together. It was lovely, we just chilled out at home, watched some of our programmes that we hadn't had a chance to catch up on, and a movie. He was very loving and i thought everything was good.
however, last night he slept in the front room as he had an early start for work. he came into the bedroom late last night looking very sad. he said he is struggling with his life at the moment and doesnt know what to do, and that he feels suffocated by work and home and now the baby is here its even worse, even though he loves us both to bits. he said he is really trying at the moment but is so sad.
he then went back to bed after we had a chat and a cuddle, but i cried myself to sleep. i desperately want to help him as i dont want to lose him, but i have no idea what to do. i dont think he would go to counselling if i suggested it, but i am desperate to help him. sound like the mens version of baby blues?
any ideas?
