Feeling very deflated

Before a baby, my partner and I were so happy and never really argued (not big ones anyway) he’d do anything for me… but since having a baby, all we seem to do is go at eachother bickering… a lot has changed… maybe it’s the hormones and a mixture of me feeling unappreciated Don’t know where I’m going with this… As much as I LOVE my baby, I do think about the times when it was just me and my partner and how easy life was… Anyone else just feel like poo sometimes?

Before babies I said to my friend "my husband and I never argue we should be fine". She laughed at me. Another friend said "If you want a divorce, have kids". Sit together and have a serious open conversation about how you feel, how he feels. No talking over each other, letting each other finish their thoughts. Then try and figure out how the two of you can find the middle ground and feel appreciated. When the kids are small, and the hormones are raging, sometimes ya just wanna punch out your partner. Is there anything that can be outsourced? What are some must do's and what can you let slide?

Can massively relate to this 😔. Myself and my fiance were together 4years before I got pregnant (planned), although I have 2 kids from a previous relationship so its a little different. However, we definitely bicker alot more lately, and over stupid shit aswell! Usually because we're both tired and overwhelmed, and he very much does his part when he's not at work to care for our baby. We have just learnt to try and seize the moments together when we can!
