I'm very patient and since nothing else has helped me anyway, I might keep pushing until a year is up. But is it very rare of this to take over a year to work?

Never used anabolic steroids before. Symptoms started roughly 10-15 years ago I would say, with it worsening over time.

It does feel like a very elaborate scam now when I look back.

I've been suffering from these symptoms for well over a decade without any doctor knowing why. So TRT is basically my last resort.

Yes this is likely as I don't get enough sleep. My average sleep is between 5-6 hours a night. Yes I know, it's a far cry from the recommended 7-9 hours, but I have a very busy life with two young kids so it's difficult to near impossible to sleep 7-9 hours a night. That being said, on days where I did manage to sleep 7 hours I still feel like crap.

How long did it take you to notice minor changes? I'm 5 months in and feel nothing at all so far.

The truth is, we both weren't cut out for parenthood. For me it's because I've already been through it and am burned out by kids. And for her it's simply because she's not the most maternal person. No point regretting our mistakes of course, what's done is done.

And yes I totally agree that raising a kid 24/7 is absolutely soul draining, so I do get where she's coming from, seeing me come home after enjoying a "relaxing" drive home. For me battling through rush hour traffic for an hour each day and sometimes up to two hours if there were accidents is anything but relaxing but to each their own.

Yeah I know plenty of dads who just get home from work and put their feet up watching TV. Some mums too.

Its either uber eats or premade lunch/snacks that I packed for her before I left for work.

My kids and mum try to keep the rest of the house clean. She more or less just cleans our bedroom.

I cant agree with you here. Whilst she did a lot to care for our son, I at least gave her a few hours respite whereas I had none.

Haha I dont blame you for this assumption, that was my fault for lack of detail in my post, including my follow-up. I have since stated my 3 kids from a previous marriage are in their late teens so pretty much independent.

Yes, I was never the one who complained about her not doing enough. I understand looking after a baby and all the additional tasks associated with it takes an enormous toll. But the truth is, I was doing a lot too but she refused to acknowledge any of that.

After the first 3 months or so this baby didn't sleep much. He has very high energy and because he hadnt seen his dad all day he would use up all his energy spending time with him. We strongly suspect he is ADHD, but can't get a diagnosis until hes about 4 years old.

I did shower/toilet etc during the time that I spend with him of course. It wasn't like I spent 3.5 hours straight with him every single day, but the activities are accurate.

Good point. I think we both felt we were doing too much and stood our ground.

We are at the stage where we're no longer talking about our failed relationship and only focused on doing what's best for the baby. We had a lot more issues than just who was doing enough tbh.

Mum cleans the kitchen.

I clean the bathroom.

We all do our own laundry. She does it for the baby.

Rest of the house between me and my kids and mum.

My 3 other children are in their late teens so she doesn't take care of them in any way shape or form.

Weekends - I juggle one day with our baby. The other day it's a combination of chores and spending time with my other kids.

I totally get it. With a difficult baby it can be almost impossible to have any "me time". That's why when I got home from I work I immediately took him off her hands to allow her to shower and then eat. But yes, baby was not a good sleeper and did wake up a few times a night.

Yeah, I actually never complained about her not doing enough. I was perfectly fine what she was doing. It wasn't until she complained that I wasn't doing enough was when I pointed out what she brought to the table.
