I just need to vent

So my husband and I just had a beautiful baby boy 6 months ago. I’m a first time mom(he’s a 2nd time dad) so a lot of learning, sleepless night, stress and etc Mom stuff. We both work, currently he’s away for work(a week) this is the second time he’s been away and I’ve had to be alone with the baby. It’s not a problem but it can get very overwhelming. Baby boy is screaming and crying cause he needs a nap and teething.I’m texting my husband venting to him, Just venting, he FaceTime me just as I’m putting him to sleep and he’s already calmed down. My husband says idk I don’t think I want anymore….im highly upset. I wanted to say well then I guess you’ll have to divorce me(I didn’t ) Mostly because he’s the one that was like ohh I want three kids and in all honesty I don’t want my son to be an only child. I want him to have full siblings that he gets to see everyday to fight and play with and just build a sibling bond. My husband has another son so he does have a brother but he doesn’t see him all the time and we will eventually move from the place we are now( where his brother lives) Maybe I’m being sensitive but I’m alil hurt and just wanted to vent

Show your support

I think your feelings are valid, especially because this is something that was discussed prior, but that can definitely hurt your marriage. He said why he don't want another?

@Tiaja yeah, it was discussed before we got married. He’s allowed to change his mind because I changed mine. I was terrified of childbirth which made me not want any BUT you’re not even around him at the moment to say oh I don’t want any more… I should be the one saying that he’s screaming in my ear I do think he’s overwhelmed because he hasn’t gotten any rest, he’s been on the go for at least two months. Traveling back and forth then being sick from the baby being sick, on top of not getting any sleep. He said how he just want time to himself away from everyone. But tbh I’m the one with the baby while he’s gone, I also want to be alone but the moment I say that…I feel like all hell is gonna break loose. Sorry the response is long

It's okay! I don't want to make any excuses for him but dads can also get depressed after childbirth. Could explain him wanting to be away from everyone. Maybe just give him space & some time then it can be a conversation to revisit once things get back to routine.
