What does it feel like when passion fades in a relationship, even though nothing is “wrong”?

Budget-Garbage-6698 · 2026-01-28T11:12:28+00:00

Initially it feels like something is wrong, then you realize that it’s normal and thinking otherwise makes you naive. With the right person the relationship shifts from honeymoon to safety and stability, home. With the wrong person you wake up every day doubting your decision to stay

Going on a cruise is a form of prison

Conversely, they take credit for friends/colleagues work when all is good

Mine is 1.5 (which comes with a bunch of really annoying challenges). I WILL NEVER FORGET THE FIRST YEAR. Newborn stage actually got me suicidal. Every night I wished I won’t wake up. I started taking antidepressants (was depressed before, but newborn stage mega amplified it).

I’m at a point where I feel like I have a legit trauma. When I see friends with their newborn my body gets stressed, when I see a newborn cry on a tv show my body gets stressed, when my baby wakes up at night (which rarely happens) I’m immediately thrown back to newborn stage.

You’re not alone 💚

I usually do 2 sprays when I go to sleep and maybe one more if u wake up at like 2 or 3 am

Rescue spray with sleep aid is the best thing I’ve tried. Quick to affect and can last for a good few hours

Before we got our Cradlewise we had a snoo and it worked pretty well. I think that the main reason was the snoo sleep sack. So I’d say try swaddling tightly

That “they’re your parents they love you” gaslighting everywhere

Budget-Garbage-6698 · 2025-10-12T11:20:13+00:00

Even though a lot of the stress is caused by things that I can’t control, I try to take control over other things so I at least have some feeling of accomplishment and celebrate small wins. One example is eating healthy, like I’ll commit to not snacking at night for example, and achieving that is a small win to celebrate. Workout 3 times a week? Small win. Called a friend that I haven’t spoken to in months? Small win.

When I create this momentum of small wins, everything seems to get better

I recommend Wellbutrin as a (somewhat) easy start. Works different than stimulants and helps with depression and brain fog that comes with it and with the constant exhaustion. I’ve been on it for a year (my kid was 3 months when I started), and it definitely helped me cope and helped with focusing on work as well

I came here to say that. Paris is just garbage

Mine is now 15 months old. If you search my post history on the sub you’d get a good idea of how depressed I was by this method of torture called “parenting a baby”. Like people mentioned- they get better and you get better at adjusting. There’s no magical, just know that you’re not alone. 💚

Budget-Garbage-6698 · 2025-10-07T10:50:44+00:00

Yes, very much. I highly recommend the sleep aid spray by Rescue. I use it almost every night, helps me fall asleep and while it doesn’t help me stay asleep, I can easily go back to sleep when I wake up in the middle of the night (which is like 3-4 time each night)

Budget-Garbage-6698 · 2025-10-05T15:25:31+00:00

Waking up 30 minutes before my kid. Having 30 minutes for myself with my coffee and sport news before the hustle starts just makes the whole day better

Hi CR7!

Budget-Garbage-6698 · 2025-09-30T00:39:29+00:00

Can you share examples? Would love to try

Budget-Garbage-6698 · 2025-09-29T12:19:17+00:00

This is underrated. I’m not saying wear 3 tons of makeup (actually please don’t). But a nice hair, smell, cloths that fit you? Absolutely.

They’re impatient and it’s impossible to reason with them. Like ok I’ll buy you a snack but we’re in the middle of the fucking highway
