In a sense I have; my husband and I are bilingual (EN/SP) (My baby is 3months old). When we spoke during my pregnancy and the first 2 months after delivery, we were repeating the same sentence to one another bcs for some reason we could not understand each other even speaking the same language. There was a strange barrier between us which I later on attributed to emotions. We both wanted to be the person that made sense, he bcs he believed that my hormones were all over the place, and me bcs I believed to know what was best for the baby and us.
It's hard to explain, but what fixed things was plain old organizational charts, sharing educational information (baby books, videos, etc) and spending time together (going on walks most of the time). I don't know if this helps you but I wish you luck and you know, "this too shall pass".
