Husband’s work affecting our marriage

[ellie]

Maybe hire a housekeeper a couple of times a week? Get out of the room while your husband is working. Give him some space. You also don’t need to burden yourself with his huffing and puffing.

I agree about your working long days. Is it necessary? Are you a nurse with long shifts?

Also, get one of those swings to entertain the baby while you do little tasks around the house. You can wash and fold laundry while the baby is safely occupied. My niece practically lived in that thing with the TV blaring and still grew up to be successful and well-adjusted. Remember, mothers used to manage on their own with their children with virtually no help from the fathers back in the day. You can, too.

I may get upset at something and have to vent but then I am done. I never get frustrated.

I agree about walking away, but if he has a problem with that, have a planned-out response and be able to anticipate how he might react.

This is a temporary issue that will end soon (baby will grow up),, I'll advise you get a house help for now,, which is Nani... But i don't know if your husband will like it,, anyhow just try and cope with it for now. You aren't being selfish.

Suggest on getting a house Nani,, talk to your husband and see if it'll help reduce you stress and his!.
