Not sure if this is the right place to put this, but is anyone else struggling a bit with their relationship with their OH?
Poppy's only 2 weeks, and everything at home still feels like a big struggle for me (BF'ing, sleepless nights, the whole coming to terms with a traumatic birth etc). I've been really emotional, and crying most days. But i seem to feel very clingy to my OH - really needing his reassurance and support, plus scared that things will change between us for the worst. I know it's all coming from me, as he;s being enormously supportive, but it still doesn;t stop me crying loads and taking my tiredness out on him. I just feel like i want him to not go to work and be home with us all the time (though i'm sure this is just part of the adjustment and hormones balancing out).
I'm normally incredible rational and reasonable, so know this isn't my usual self feeling this. Just wondered if anyone else was feeling fragile and worried how it would effect their relationship. And what have you done to make it better?
Thanks x
