Husband frustrations brought on by motherhood

[e]

I know this is the wrong place to go, but maybe this will help me to take the actions I need to take in order to straighten things out. I'm upset with my husband right now, and it's not really his fault. It's just that I didn't have that much of a life before our baby came and I'm set to have even less now, but he had a relatively good set-up

You're right. Everyone has a right to be an individual, even if they have children, but the fact that your husband is ignoring his responsibilities as a husband and father is wrong. Your husband should be making quality time with you and your child. It's ok for him to have friends, but he needs to realize that when you make the commitment of marrying someone and starting a family with them, you are essentially making a commitment to CHANGE YOUR LIFE. Because the fact is when you get married and have children you are taking on the responsiblities of a new life. Yeah, giving up the good ol' days and the good ol' traditions is kind of a sad thing that you have to part with. But everyone goes through it. It's part of GROWING UP. If he didn't want to give those things up he should never have gotten married and had a kid with you. It seems like he's trying to have the best of both worlds, but doesn't realize that he is neglecting his family for the other option
