Some of you are turning this topic to another subject.

And i actually never heard someone getting stuck in that situation ever expect in this case.
Father's choice: save his son or his wife

That father saved his wife over his son. Does that mean he loved his wife more than his son ??

I don't think so.
In that situation he had the possibility of saving his wife but much less chance of being able to save his son so he chose to save one over saving none.

Exactly. Op has to communicate this with his wife.

I remember being a restless wreck the first few months of my son's life, especially while I was nursing . That period was hard for me

I think for many more months from now on. I tried everything to improve our marriage but it didn't helped much.
But i would always stick by her no matter how our situation would be . I am getting used to it , so its a positive step.
As i said earlier, Maybe over time I'll learn that my situation's not so bad. Growing up in Minnesota, a friend and I often joked that the state motto should be, "We're number two!" The Vikings made it to several Super Bowls and lost. Every new skyscraper was built almost as tall, but never taller, than the IDS tower. In deference to New York City, Minneapolis branded itself "the mini apple." At times, the entire state celebrated being in second place. Only recently have I begun to take my eyes off the thrill of being number one and concentrate on the particular romance of being number two. Men, we are Minnesota. And you know what? It's nice there.

I just wanted to vent out of my feelings and frustations and i am fine now.
Thanks for the advice.

That is what i said , you don't know what you would do in that situation. So these situations are not a good way to measure love.

I talked about it to her many times and she always reassures me or sometimes completely ignores mY concerns.

OP - you said this forum would be the best place to share your story/question. But this isn't the first time it's been posted is it. Here is the exact same story. Pretty much just the age of the baby is different.

Is it even your own story? Probably not.

Does she love our child more than me? - Redbook

Responders: I think you've been had.

I wrote it some way back. Our son was 14 months then. It didn't got responses so i thought about posting it in public forums.
Thanks for sharing it here. These feelings of mine are with me for many months now.

Even better haha. His one post he took an entire last paragraph from the article.

"Maybe over time I'll learn that my situation's not so bad. Growing up in Minnesota, a friend and I often joked that the state motto should be, "We're number two!" The Vikings made it to several Super Bowls and lost. Every new skyscraper was built almost as tall, but never taller, than the IDS tower.

Communication is the key as they say. I agree. But sometimes your instincts get better of you like in my wife's case.

If she caught me writing all of this then i don't know how she would feel. I even feel more guilty after writing all of this now.

OP: Maybe she's trying to be considerate by not coming back to bed, and waking you up in the middle of the night? Before our kids slept through the night, I always slept in a different room because my husband is such a light sleeper, the slightest noise or movement disturbs him. He took it personally too, but after a few nights of me sleeping in the same room (with the baby monitor on) finally got through to him.
