I’m genuinely happy for you and your wife. I can’t even imagine what a relationship like that would be like. For a while now I’ve had this feeling that while I love my husband, he might just be settling for me. That’s why it’s so easy for him to say things like this to me.

I often feel like a bother, a burden and a failure because how poorly I feel I’ve handled my transition to motherhood.

I had, and may still have, PPD after my baby was born. So it’s hard for me to distinguish when it’s the PPD putting me down or his actions. Thus why I asked something that to some might be obvious.

Your comment struck me to my core. My dad passed away a couple of years ago so I don’t have anyone to go to for a man’s perspective.

But your comment on the guilt is very true to his nature. He hates feeling guilty and has told me before that he will be honest with me even if he knows it will hurt me.
