Hello there
So, this kind of started while my wife was pregnant. Couldn't sleep and lots of changes going on for both of us (new job, moving house and baby on the way). GP thought it would be a good idea to try and put me on medication so I've been on that for 2 years.
Fast forward 2 years and between baby having eating tantrums and wife over worrying about the smallest things, it doesn't feel like there is improvement.
I think I'm a good husband. I work full time and manage to be home every night. Fridge is always full, baby has everything baby could need and want, wife is somewhat spoiled I think. She does think I should do something for myself, but I just don't have the energy or the headspace for it. I'm not a big drinker, but once or twice a week in the evening I'll sit outside under the veranda, watch TV while drinking a few scotches. Somehow I feel guilty doing that too at the start, but then of course, the alcohol takes effect.
Is this everyday life for new fathers? Does it get better? She hints she wants another in a few years, but I can't go through this again!
