I’ve heard several stories about couples that suddenly stop having sex, start snapping at each other for stupid bs, your girlfriend who was so sweet and supporting becomes her mother, a raging, yelling psychopath, looking for excuses to be passive aggressive, inviting her friends back home when all you want to do is rest after your workday, your boyfriend, so passionate about you is suddenly cold towards you and wants to be left alone. Before having a child you were inseparable, now it’s like you hate each other and rant about your loved one with your friends…
I couldn’t survive such a radical personality change.
Does this phase eventually runs its course?
How do you find the mental fortitude to ignore the stupid bs your partner does or says?
How would you describe love to your partner a year after having a baby?
Is there any way to know if you and your partner are going to make it and remain a couple after having a child?
As someone who’s been very happily married for a fairly long time now, I’d just like to quickly emphasize to everyone the point about being quicker to forgive than to judge. Love isn’t about constantly being high on happiness but about having such a deep connection with someone that you treat them as you would treat yourself. The golden rule is called the golden rule for a reason. The happiness you are chasing will come naturally.
