life after children

roxyfinn, posted over a year ago

my partner and i have been together for nearly 5yrs and have been engaged for about 3 years. Last year we had our first child and since then it hasn't been the same, i am always looking after our son, i never get a break and when i do its for like an hour which is usually when i am sleeping. My partner is always working for nearly 10hours a day and when he does come home its not to see me or our son, its to check him emails get changed and go for drinks with his work mates. I keep asking him if we can spend more time together or if he could watch our son so i could go have coffee with some friends and i keep getting the "i'm busy" or "i'm going to the pub" or "maybe later" but it only ever happens for about a week or so and then it goes back the way it was. We are meant to get married later this year but am wondering if things are really going to improve by then or if we should even bother. How can i get him to put our son and me first on his list of priorities? or even understand how i am feeling?

Hi, just noticed this post here. Did you post it on the main page? You'll get lots more responses there.

You're going to need to schedule 'the talk' with him and lay out what has been troubling you in this relationship. Try to do it in a calm, not angry manner, and listen to what he has to say as well...

But please post this on the main site!
