Partner is emotionally unavailable

I am 11 days post partum. Had emergency c -section not in my plan , im tired and overwhelmed and ive been feeling very emotional, yes i cry a lot over anything but i cant help it . My partner just gets angry and annoyed and tells me to grow up and get on with it. He is not supportive at all. I tried to speak to him and explain i need him to be more understanding and not be so mean but he says he does not have the time /patience for it . Any advice ? How do i deal with myself /him?

Just to say he has been amazing throughout pregnancy and even before so i dont know why the change … seems like i just bother and annoy him with my feelings

Some men are like that. Unfortunately. My man is the same way. I cannot remember one time where he took me in his arms when I was crying. It's sad. I don't have any advice other than a lot of therapy or accepting it or leaving. I don't really think that you can change him, just how you see it and if you can live with it forever.

You have to think he is experiencing his own form of postpartum, you both are overtired & things can get nasty. A lot of men don’t understand the emotional & hormonal aspect of postpartum women. I went through the same thing for months. Instead of asking him to understand, explain what you are experiencing. It is not easy, I wish you the best of luck. 🫶🏼

He will snap out of it. Probably around the same time you snap out of all the stuff you're going through as well. Try not stress over what he's doing too much. This might be a you being there for yourself kinda journey. Which sounds scary but ultimately makes you a better you in the end. It's unfortunate he can't put ur needs before his for this situation but not totally out of line either. I promise it gets better. I promise!
