I have a very different problem, my husband ignores me after our baby. I was searching for some advice on the internet and found that usually its the other way round - husbands/fathers feel abandoned.
Our relationship weakened instead of getting strengthened after our two year struggle through high risk pregnancies, the earlier one resulting in demise. We finally had a beautiful baby but relationship with my husband is non-existent. Presence of my in-laws and parents worsened things and it seems that all my husband wanted was a baby from me. Although we've had ups and downs in our marriage, separation has never been a choice and now it's as though the only thing left in our marriage is our baby.
I really love my baby but feel ignored by my husband. It is not the kind of closeness I dreamt we would have as a family. I feel like he doesn't want anything to do with me now and it's a transactional relationship.
When I mentioned this to him and he denied it completely and says that I prevent him from loving our baby. To top all this he'd like us to have another baby so that our first one gets a sibling. I told him that unless our relationship improves I will not consider it. I am so confused .. any advice appreciated.
