Hello I am a FTM to a baby 6 days old. Bringing him home from the hospital I was soooo elated as my husband was more than supportive and even more over joyed than I was for our new addition. Now that we've been stuck in the house for almost a week with a crying newborn I feel like our whole relationship has shifted. We never get frustrated with baby more so each other. I feel thankful he's here helping but also annoyed that he only gives me the baby to breastfeed. I feel no longer important to him, just a tool to feed our son. Not only that we aren't intimate even tho I could understand why but right now it doesn't even seem like he loves me anymore. Only his son so today instead of him watching me nurse our baby in breast milk and tears I told him he could go out and shoot his video with his friends because I know if I had the choice or someone inviting me somewhere I wouldn't want to just stay cooped up in the house. I've tried talking to him about not feeling special anymore and my current body issues but he has offered little To no support with that.... What should I do now? I feel like having this baby right now has not only ruined our relationship but our social lives as well. How can I get things between us back good to where he'd want to stay home and be that support system I am for him? How do I explain that I more than just a mom now, I still need love and affection even if I don't look how I used to..
