Does anyone else hate their husbands right now?

Seriously.  I can't stand him.  His lackluster attempts with the baby is enough for me to leave over.  He traveled for work last week, and it was the most enjoyable week I have had since the baby was born.  He's traveling again next week and I am so excited for him to be gone it is scary.  I don't think its PPD because I have no issues with the baby or anyone else.  Is this normal?  Is anyone else feeling this way.

EDIT:  Sorry about those extra lines, my cat apparently sat on my keyboard.

Re: Does anyone else hate their husbands right now?

  • Holy long post.... 

    Umm no I do not hate my husband. At all. There are moments I am frusterated with him or he is annoying but that's all pretty normal marriage things. Parenthood can change things, but if it is that big of a problem than I would seek some outside help.

    Have you tried explaining how you feel to him? Can you pin point what is bothering you the most?

    Also it wouldn't hurt to talk to your OB. PPD can take on some crazy forms.

  • Do I get annoyed by my husband? Of course. We are all human. I also annoy myself on a daily basis. DH us working today and I have loved being alone with my 2 girls and taking a relaxing "chill" day. But I also am missing "family time"!

    It is normal to get annoyed. It is normal to want time alone. But it sounds likeyou have crossed over the line of what is normal, and need to talk to someone. Nothing to be ashamed of or hesitant about ... Hormones do somecrazy shiiit.

  • Absolutely not. Are there times when he frustrates me? Definitely. Are there times when I want time to myself? Of course. But I miss him when he's gone and he's more helpful than I ever expected him to be, with the boys and around the house. Please talk to someone before walking out on your marriage. You don't want to look back years from now and realized you threw in the towel on something wonderful because your PP hormones were messing with your head.

  • sounds like ppa/ppd to me. I would def go talk to your dr about this and give it some time. 

    men are just different when it comes to alot of things about cleaning, family time, helping out here and there. I am lucky mine helps out alot. I sometimes do have to remind him that I too need breaks here and there. good luck.

  • No...but I felt like I did about 3 months ago. I wasn't depressed, I just couldn't stand a thing that he did. He couldn't sneeze without annoying me, and I knew that it was me...not him...and I asked for help.  My doctor and I weighed the pros and cons of medication while breastfeeding, and I'm on a fairly low dose of Zoloft now. It was enough to not make me want to beat my husband with a bat, though.

  • Not gonna lie, whether it be hormones or whatnot, I have considered leaving my marriage more in the past three months than ever before. Just wanted to say, you're not alone!

    I had to LOL at the beating with the bat b/c sometimes I feel the same way!

  • Thanks for the insight.  I really didn't think it was PPD because everything was so locally focused on him.  I have an appt with the doctor today.  Thanks for the encouragement to go to the Doc
