Did your relationship with your partner change negatively after the birth of your child?

Question

If yes, did it get better eventually?

Answer

I was actually surprised how well my husband and I adjusted to being parents. I think it was helpful that we had discussed our expectations for each other in length before having the baby and discussed the type of parents we wanted to be.  Of course we’ve had our moments that we’ve gotten snippy with each other due to lack of sleep..  but we don’t take it personally.

Answer

Its always an adjustment and 10 years married  (and 4 kids) there have been various seasons. 
For us we make time to go away just the 2 of us once a year. 
We’ve always been stronger through the tough stuff, but we work at it

Answer

No, I feel like it reignited something in us.

Answer

First son, I was 21, and my ex was 10. I did all the wake ups, feedings, bathing etc for our son. I got a job when my son was 1.5 years old. My husband did all that when I was at work. When 2nd son came, my husband started working night shift. I did EVERYTHING. For 6 years it was just me. My husband would go to his parents on his days off and leave me with the kids. I brought it up to him and he said I needed to stop watching Sitcoms that made it look like father's helped with kids. Said it wasnt his job til the boys became older. Now we are separated and he actually takes the boys to do stuff while I'm home.

Answer

Our son is almost 3 weeks old and I’d say we’ve had our moments. But, my husband has been in tune with my mental health and is always asking me if I’m okay. He takes the night shift a lot with our son because he currently has his days and nights mixed up lol. It’s been rough, but we’ve been finding small moments during the day for each other. He took me out to a nice restaurant Saturday, and we got a couple hours together, just him and I. It was nice.

Answer

It made us even closer. We are so much happier

Answer

Negatively as I do almost everything for our son so I'm constantly exhausted. He is impatient with him and just passes him back when it's to hard... 
I've tried talking to him about it but nothing changes. Our son is 9 months old now. Relationship is slowly getting worse.

Answer

Yes we argue a lot more and are more distant towards each other, it’s just different then what it used to be, I get that it’s a massive change having a baby though, hopefully it gets better for us all
