Re: Partner has become controlling

  • Perhaps he is nervous about being alone with the baby. Could you get a friend or relative to babysit or at least support him if you are gone.

  • Can you just take baby with you? If he works "24/7" like you say in your other post than you should have time to get out and do anything with baby
  • He didn't mind me going out with the little one its on my own. If I want to go to one of my girls houses or out to town that's it x
  • Hate to sound condescending but have you talked to him about your concerns? My opinion is that relationship issues can't be solved without open communication.
  • It kinda sounds like one of two situations: either he's afraid to be with the baby by himself or he doesn't completely trust you. Either way, that requires an honest and open conversation between the two of you. For me, it doesn't matter because all my other friends are parents so they understand that I don't really go anywhere except work without the baby. But for somebody with a lot of friends who aren't parents, it can be hard to maintain your friendships. I'd suggest a mom's group. A lot of towns and cities have them and its somewhere you can go to interact with other women who are also parents and maybe make new friends.
  • I think that is the best idea and I have told him how I feel x he suffers with anxiety so I put it down to that tbh but it's really getting to me
