Relationships and Motherhood
Parenthood is hard and can be tough on your
relationship and marriage.
Babies and children often take over what was once coined "free time." The lack of sleep on top of the day-to-day responsibilities of life make it harder, or sometimes impossible, to connect to yourself and your partner. Suddenly, you may also have increased expectations of your partner that might not have been previously discussed, and this leads to mutual resentment, anger and frustration.
DO ANY OF THESE QUESTIONS RUN THROUGH YOUR MIND?
- Does it feel like your partner doesn’t understand the chaotic 24-hour workday of being a mother?
- Do you sometimes feel like a single mother who has been abandoned?
- Do you feel like you have no time or energy left to take care of yourself and your relationship with your partner?
- Do you feel as if your partner has been unable to look at you the same sexually since childbirth? Or perhaps your partner has admitted to this being the case?
- Do you feel like your partner focuses all of his attention on your baby/babies or children?
- Do you worry that your partner’s longer hours at work and/or time with friends signify an avoidance of new and growing responsibilities at home?
