DH suffering his own post pg symptoms

Is anyone else's dh having concerns/fears/confusion since LO's birth? We had a long conversation about how our lives are changing with LO and he's truly afraid I've replaced him with her and that there is no priority for him anymore. I've tried to balance taking care of LO during mleave and still be loving towards him but it doesnt appear to be enough. Plus we have LO sleeping in our room at night and dh wants her in her own room pretty quick, today I found out because he thinks she will take his spot andhe'll be pushed out of our own room for her which I've never even considered... is this normal? Is he overreacting? This is his third child and my first; I'm not sure how to make him see I need him more now than ever and I love my child but he's my DH and he can't be replaced. He says he's not use to sharing me (our other 2 daughters live with their mom)... help!

    I'm guessing his daughters' mother did some of this? Sorry he is acting that way. My dh is bummed certain things in his life changed - but they don't involve me. It's more his freedom plus he is sah when I go back to work in 2 weeks, so he is pretty worried how he will handle 2 kids on his own. But I just keep remindinghim that this tough newborn stage won't last forever and once we get to the summer things will be a ton better. I feel extra bad for you bc your dh has been there before - he should be encourging you that things will get better as a ftm, not you reassuring him.
