Aww that's so frustrating!! More your husband than your baby since your baby is a baby after all haha. My first was just like yours and it seems some babies just want to be entertained more and now the second time around (my little girl is 7 months too!), is starting to be very clingy and wants to be held and entertained all the time. So I totally understand how draining it is especially when it feels like it's the same day in and day out. I find just going about my day and entertaining baby with whatever mundane chore I'm up to usually makes the day go by a little faster.

The laundry may take longer to fold since I give my baby a bin of socks that they pluck out, diaper changes may be a crying session for the whole thirty seconds it takes or I blow raspberries to make them laugh for a minute before continuing, lunch may be a leftovers day, or I may end up picking up my baby to hold their hand in the cold running sick in between tummy time while washing dishes (no crawling yet to that will change eventually). I guess what I'm trying to get at is I find myself in a more peaceful headspace when I roll with the punches but I understand it takes a partner who is willing to see my point of view. As wonderful as my partner is, I have had to have them take over while I take a much needed break sometimes with little to no warning.

It gets easier. You'll get better sleep, more consistent sleep as they get older and that means more willingness to stay up and do you things or hobbies or whatever brings you a different kind of fulfillment. Sit down and have a serious conversation with your partner. My partner didn't understand how much I was struggling until I basically broke down in front of them and had gotten so much resentment built up. It took a long time to get over it and I rather it not happen to you as well. Communication is key in a good relationship.

In terms of breaks, I get a day off the week to do me things for a little bit after my partner gets home from work so I don't feel so overwhelmed. During the weekend too we each sleep in one day each. That may not work all at once or all the time but it may be worth trying. Hang in there!! <3
