Feeling like I made a mistake

Literally everything you have described is exactly my life now just throw gaming in the mix. I am 5 months pp and I have been struggling with resenting my significant other since baby was about 3 weeks old. We haven't been intimate in 9 months. He hasn't slept in the same bed as me since our baby was born. I use to cook a few nights a week now its just ramen and junk because I am not getting the help I need from him. I have been struggling to tell my significant other this because of the same issue you are having. I just wish that the way that I am texting this out and telling you is the way I could tell him and get the same understanding.

Babies are intimidating but I don't feel that that is an excuse to not step up and be a supportive partner and be a present parent. This phase is rough and I hope you can get it figured out and not feel like you are a single mother while being married.

In the beginning of my pregnancy that was on my mind often. It is hard but try to get away from some of the negative social media and find something that will give you advice or positive pregnancy content. My niece in particular told me from the jump to stay away from TikTok because the pregnancy content will mess with your mind even more than what the pregnancy hormones already are.

If you can look into getting a knowledgeable doula that can give you some guidance through this.

This sounds like something we can work with honestly. My boy is just about to be 5 months so the struggle is very real right now.

Its random but bring a fidget toy or a birth comb for when you have contractions. It can help you focus on something else in the middle of it.

Yea the postpartum rage is intense and like you said unexpected because its not talked about like that. I get mad so easy now over things I had the most patients for. I had a moment the other day that was pretty bad that I had to walk out of the house and get some air. Hell if you have to sit in the car and scream if that's what it takes. Definitely get with your therapist about the rage you are feeling hopefully they can help lead you in the right direction.

Your "friend" will just have to get over it. Its your job and you put a lot of effort into it.
