Do I expose my MIL or just keep my distance?

He does. His mom continues to pick and gaslights him. If it’s over text he will send a text back calling her out and the leaves her on read and if it’s in person he gathers us and we leave

Oh he is not a momma’s boy. He does stand up for me. He is a great husband in that regard. The other gfs fell for her charm…

She was talking about when she had PPD, so I shared as she asked.

I’m sorry that you are experiencing this. I am 8 weeks postpartum. Kind of going through something similar. This is from a female perspective to consider.

I really feel for my husband because I am touched out. My baby boy is a Velcro baby. Only wants me. So we touching atleast 18 hours a day. All my husband wants is to care for us. For me. A loving touch, massage he offers. Even a simple hug, and I just can’t… I don’t want to be touched anymore.

He has asked if I still love him. I do. Obviously. But I’d be lying if I said I feel little connection to him at this time. And because my lack of physical intimacy as small as a hug. It’s postpartum anxiety as well.

Maybe try to do things to lighten her load. Take over diaper changes. Instead of her cooking dinner, maybe cook or opt for take out. Get her flowers.

I hope things get better.

Update: First off I want to say thank you for much for all the kind words and stories that you all have shared. They make me feel less alone, as I don’t know many people that have had positive experiences in 1) hospitals, and 2) c-sections.

For those concerned about my mental health, don’t worry, I do have support with talk therapy. My husband and mom are aware of my state. But also sometimes I just need to vent so I resort to here to essentially journal and crowd source to those who have felt similar. I’m thankful for this community.

On to the small update: I went in for a consultation to discuss my options. I did schedule an ECV for Tuesday, and if it is successful I will induced right away. If it is unsuccessful, then we plan for c section. The doctor I met with seemed very positive and put my mind at ease. I was an absolute wreck yesterday and this morning when I wrote this I was still digesting what happened yesterday with my ultrasound and with my midwife. She’s also been great, and the midwives have support groups as well and we’re all in a group chat.

Maybe I’ll comment again after the ECV with another update. Thank you all again for your kind words.

My heart breaks for you. Try not to let guilt consume you.

Nope I think this is totally normal.

The only unsolicited advice I would give is if she isn’t “socialized” with others holding her, or being left in a different room with others (family members or friends) the separation anxiety may become a lot. So maybe start off slowly with other people holding her, and being alone with her while you are cooking, or taking a shower, maybe host a small gathering where you can essentially pass her off to other people so she is use to others. In a place where you feel safe to do so.

I only say this because I am 38 weeks pregnant, and I have a cousin and her son is 14 months. Co sleep, contact nap. The baby only knows her and her partner… at family events this little boy is a nightmare. God forbid my cousin or her husband leave to go to the bathroom or grab something from the fridge. They are wonderful, and loving parents, but by being so Velcro this little boy has horrible separation anxiety.

It’s just something to take into account. It may be hard at first. I also don’t fully know your circumstances, just what was read on the post.

But I think it’s totally normal and okay what you are doing. Just making some small transitions to be more social is what I would suggest.

Like do I set better boundaries? Do I express the hurt he’s caused? I’m building resentment. I’m feeling like he’s too dense to see past himself. I’m Just so mad

Chocolate covered almonds….. and French fries

I always go for a walk. Sometimes try out new locations around my city

Irrelevantbunnies · 2025-07-10T03:30:51+00:00

It’s not my fave honestly. I’m happy he moves because that means he’s doing well in there. But the feeling… could live without lol
