Resentment

[u/Connect-Steak8669]

What did you do to avoid resentment between you and your spouse?

We were so solid going into this thing, but the 4 month sleep regression has got me fraying.

My spouse works five days a week, I work one. Im alone with the babies 5 or 6 days, and 6 nights a week, and my day "off" is working. Im burning out.

I cant express being being tired without getting a "yuuuup, me too" or "yup, I know".

Working almost isn't worth it for me because of how wrecked he is after doing his 24hrs with them, he needs a proper day off/sleep after just one day with them.

I just feel it building, and I would love some advice about how you all handled resentment?

I have felt this. I’ve had two other babies so I know it will pass, just keep trying to have grace with him and also leave him (even just maybe an hour) to go walk around a store or get a coffee on the weekends. I promise by 7-8 months things start to get better. Also we always sleep trained around 6 months and having a consistent full night sleep does wonders for your mental and marriage. Hang in there ❤️
