Wasn’t prepared for this

Before baby, my boyfriend and I relationship was great. Post baby. I don’t know.. I don’t know if it’s me wanting more, or what but I feel physically stuck. When I became pregnant I got kicked out the house and lived with my boyfriend and his parent and still currently is. We planned to move out before baby got here with the money that we saved, but things didn’t happened as planned... all I do is work work work, same as him and we don’t really have any time together as we share a room with his younger brother and baby all cramped into one room. I don’t feel like myself anymore and honestly just want my own space. Problem is I live in New York and can’t afford my own place. Like I said before, I don’t know if it’s the fact that we are so cramped on space and not having time to ourself that I feel so distant or I’m really not here. I also feel really angry at myself for having my child in this type of condition.

You feel like that because of lack of space. I suggest you move as soon as you can!

I took a new mom class and one of the topics was about relationship changes after having a baby. It’s been such a difficult change in my relationship and it’s hard work every day. One major take away was that this is one of the hardest and biggest changes your relationship will go through. You’re not alone- it’s all so hard to juggle and navigate.Another helpful tip from that class was to find each other’s love language and sit down and talk about that. Mine changed after having my son and it helps for your partner to know your love language. Obviously the living conditions make your situation tricky and I don’t have any really good advice for that. I hope this helps! Good luck you’re doing amazing!
