Argued with my husband after our baby was born.

After our difficult baby was born, I was overwhelmed and constantly argued with my husband about him not doing enough. He grew distant, said he fell out of love, and now wants to separate.

What I wish I knew
"I wish I knew how my constant criticism and arguments would permanently damage his feelings for me."
If I could tell you one thing
"Be mindful of how you treat your partner during the stressful newborn phase, as it can have lasting consequences."
