Arguing more since becoming parents

It’s been so hard being a new mum and fighting with my husband so much recently! He says very hurtful things and over reacts! He does not want to spend time with me and baby and prefers to go out with his friends on the weekends! He apologises sometimes but will not let me explain how his very hurtful words upset me. He says move on from it as he has apologised but I find it hard and would like to talk things through in order to move forward! When I try he starts another argument saying all I want to do is fight! Things have gone so downhill since we had our baby! I feel so upset and lonely! He works during the week and weekends he leaves out to do stuff with his friends! Any advice? I feel like I’m married but have no husband recently

I mean I would just put your foot down and say weekends are family time - I think that’s the norm. If he wants to go out every now and again with friends ok - but do it one eve when baby is in bed and you can chill on the sofa with a box of chocs and glass of wine . If he doesn’t like it tell him you’re out next Saturday and see how he likes it xxx

Can you maybe write down how you feel, text or a note maybe? Might be easier to convey how you feel and he might feel like it's less argumentative.

Thank you both for your replies! I’m Losing my mind as nothing seems to work! He was desperate for us to star a family and after our baby was born he has been a different person! It’s so hard! Last night he came home 10:30 pm! I feel all alone! When he is at home he is his phone all the time! 😣
