Well I know it sucks..But my fiance is the same way..Things arent always the same when babys come along..Although we want them to be..Just talk to him about it ..But just remember its new addition to the family and he is probably just excited..

Well if you want things to be like they were..Then your going to have to be strong enough to talk to him about it..He probably doesnt even realise he does it ..So unless you say something its just going to keep happening..Plus with you just having the baby you might just be having a bit of depression(baby blues)...And what he is doing might not be as bad as you think it is..

I think the time after the baby is born can be trying on any relationship. What you are feeling is completely normal and a part of the post partum period. Sometimes it is the man who feels the way you feel right now. Sometimes it is the woman. Balancing a whole new little miracle between yourselves and your own relationship with each other is a challenge. You need. The baby needs. Your bf needs. Everyone has needs.

This is an especially hard time for you right now with all your hormones in flux the way they are. Giving birth is a hard job!

Talk to him. Not in an accusing manor (like saying, "you never..."), just let him know what your needs are. You are still the same person you were 4 days ago, but a whole new life has opened up for all of you.

Good luck.

Congrats on your little bundle!

Having a baby changes your relationship with your partner in so many ways. Because my husband works full-time, we don't have very much time just to ourselves anymore, and I get very lonely now that I don't have him all to myself. Sometimes when we're cuddling in bed watching a movie, the baby will wake up and stay awake until it's time for my husband to go to sleep, and I find myself angry at my daughter (though it isn't her fault) for cutting in on our quality time. Instead of getting much-needed attention from him, i'm taking care of a crying baby.

It's totally normal to feel this way. It takes a lot of adjustment! My baby will be 5 weeks old tomorrow and i'm still adjusting now. Your partner is getting used to becoming a father, and right now it's very overwhelming for him. It's really a beautiful thing that he has such an interest in your little girl, because a lot of fathers couldn't care less. Your baby is blessed to have such a loving daddy. He'll probably start to relax over the next week or two and start paying more attention to you again, once the shock wears off.

You know... He probably sees a lot of your beauty in her, and that's part of what fuels his need to be around her so much. ;)

well, you seem to be afraid of someone who jokes then you need some help girl...Serously dont defend him if he is that way...Unless you were just looking for some attention when you said you were scared ! Because I dont think its funny to play around when it comes to verbal or any kind of abuse....

i think I understand what you mean nat, its not that you are afraid of what he will say....Its more that you are afraid that what you say won't come out right and then you will appear "silly". And I also think that you feel like he will take it the wrong way and think that you are jealous of the baby, when in fact you are not jealous of the baby, but you need some attention too.
