Feeling down

5 weeks post partum When I was prego it was really rough on me and my partner we argued all the time I was really moody and too much for him I guess .. he complained about affection constantly that I wasn’t giving him any and that I always pushed him away but I swear baby made me despise him but I couldn’t help it. Pregnancy rage I guess anyways I would threaten to kick him out a couple times which was not right on my part but I really was over it I don’t handle stress well during pregnancy who does.- during that time he texted a few females and I seen he liked a lot of females during that time period prior to me seeing the messages he did leave for two days on his own took his stuff he ended up coming back a little after was when I seen the stuff in his phone the reasoning was because I was trying to put him out .. anyways to now Idk I just feel like he doesn’t show as much affection like he has improved a little bit but it’s not consistent and doesn’t feel the same I still can feel the energy and distance from him I can’t pin point it so It’s hard for me to express my feelings and he just told me he can’t give me the reassurance I need everyday idk I just feel fat so it makes me feel ugly but I just had a baby idk he doesn’t make me feel cute I don’t get compliments he finally posted me a couple days ago and it was me before I got prego of my back he never actually shows me off idk whew im going with this im just sad I miss my man before we started arguing during my pregnancy I feel like my attitude during that time changed him

I get compliments but not like how I used to during early pregnancy and prior to pregnancy

Seems like he just tried to match your energy and now you’re upset about it. You can’t just expect him to keep changing emotions for you at a drop of a hat. Sadly only we can do that as women. My husband never posts me unless I say something. He’s just not a super social media dude. But does it for like our anniversaries and such. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’ve asked for more. Just. Doesn’t happen. Now he hasnt texted other girls, that part is not cool.

Knowing that I was pregnant it’s understandable to have your emotions everywhere never did I get reassurance and say it’s okay babe I know you’re going through a lot physically he wanted to have sex all the time and get head and I was just exhausted caring for two other toddlers and working also cooking so he would get mad and then say I wasn’t showing affection to him but really I needed the affection I needed more from him and for him to text other females when we were going through a tough time does bother me even tho he did apologize I never expected that from him cause he preaches loyalty and honestly. So me finding that stuff idk it made me feel a little insecure not of the woman specifically but just in general cause that breech of trust and that I never would have seen that stuff unless I looked though the phone what about stuff I didn’t see ?? Idk I’ve been trying really hard to just move past it since he apologized but with him withholding affection when he gets

Upset throws me in a loop I feel like I’m being mind fuked anytime I try to tell him how I feel he’s like “you always say I feel this and I feel that you’re so emotional” instead of communicating and maybe I am the problem who knows

He doesn’t post me even when I ask him I’m not on his page he claims he’s not into social media but I see the post he likes of other girls idk I just want to be shown off cause he is in social media and that may seem childish but we live in a time where literally social media is everything if he didn’t have instagram then it would even be anything for me to be posted on obviously he post our baby why not my face

Have y’all thought about couples counseling? My husband and I are about to go into that. I struggled with really bad mood swings with this last baby and it was hard on my husband. He did understand they were mood swings and I was pregnant. But I still can have mood swings because your body and brain doesn’t go back to normal for at least 18 months after the birth. Maybe talk to him and tell him y’all should try it because you feel like with your mood swings it changed him and you want to figure out how to make it better for both of y’all for the sake of your little one.

He’s brought up counseling before when I was prego but not anymore maybe I can actually schedule something now so we can figure it out

What I do is I go to therapy myself and my husband goes himself and then we will go to couples
