My husband and I had our baby a week ago and it has been really hard. (On mobile, sorry for formatting).I have been recovering this past week from a full episiotomy and am emotionally, physically, and mentally exhausted. My son refuses to latch and I have to spend a huge chunk of my time pumping (I don't want advice for this, it just matters for the sake of the story).My husband has been nothing but an extra child for me. He is always on his phone and will complain about doing diapers or doing anything baby related. When the baby is fussy, he expects the pacifier to make everything better and it doesn't.Now, my husband doesn't have any experience with babies, I'll give him that. But I do my best to teach him everything I can, but he always catches an attitude about it and I noticed the way he looks at me is different now.In the shower the other night, I just broke down sobbing. I have little to no support from him. I HAVE told him so many times how I hate that he is always on his phone (he's been on it like this for awhile). He can't stay off of it, though. I get so angry as I'm sitting in the rocking chair, trying to comfort our son, and he is just on facebook. I want someone to talk to, I want him to be there for me, but he doesn't listen. I honestly thought of breaking his phone.My husband was so worried about me getting PPD but has done next to nothing to help me.I don't know what to do. Before advice is given, please don't tell me "go to therapy" or "see a marriage counselor." 1. Neither of those are an option for us right now. 2. I really just want to know what you guys think is going on in his head because he won't tell me. 3. Maybe your spouses went through something similar? via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2U3wf2W
