I’M SIDELINING MY HUSBAND AFTER BABY

Dear Coleen

I had my first baby five months ago – she’s adorable and my husband and I are totally in love with her. However, I’m starting to feel worried about our marriage. I seem to want to push my husband away all the time and I don’t know why.

When he wants to help with the baby, I get annoyed and just want to do it myself. I get irritated when he tries to do things for her because I want to be the one to do them.

I can tell he’s feeling sidelined, although he hasn’t said anything, but I don’t know how to stop. Is this normal and do you have any advice?
