Wanting self care time without partner. Is it just me?

Question

So I am a mom of a 3 year old & to a fur baby of 10 month old dog. After cleaning throughout the day multiple times, taking care of them, spending time with them, & cooking I am exhausted by the end of the day & just want time to myself when my little one is asleep. Her daddy wants me to lay/cuddle with him every night. It gets annoying. I don't ever have my me time. Nothing against him but I just feel like I'm gonna go insane if I don't take care of myself when I have the chance. I do work 4 days out of the week & I am just tired. I know he doesn't understand & I know I probably hurt his feelings when I tell him I want time to myself like tonight. I don't know how to get him to understand that. Anyone else feel this way?

Answer

Stop fucking cleaning then. He wants you. So take your me time some other time.

Answer

You have to find balance between everything. Communicate how you feel with him and try to make a schedule for yourself. If you neglect your man, he’ll start to find affection elsewhere and you most likely don’t want that.

Answer

I'm a therapist and tell my clients every single day that self care is never selfish. Know what you need and be okay asking for it. You're not responsible for his feelings about it.

Answer

I’m dealing with slight ppd and my therapist highly recommends I get me time with just myself

Answer

You need to set boundaries with your child’s father (your so??).  He isn’t entitled to touching you. Nobody is.

Answer

Me time is so important! My husband and I both take time for ourselves and it truly makes our relationship so much better. He understands I need to unwind after being with baby all day and he needs to unwind after work as well and then we spend some time together.
