My husband and I have been married for just over 3 years. We recently had a son (8.5 months old), and it is just getting really frustrating. We both work, and have a system set up that I get up with the baby Tue-Friday and he gets up Sunday and Monday. He is supposed to get up with the baby saturday, but its "too hard to get up so early," so I usually end up doing it. When he does wake up with him, he usually just lets him crawl around, crying, even though it's obvious that the baby is hungry or wants attention. I tried to explain to him many times what the baby's cries meant, but he doesnt even try any the 3 solutions to the problem (feed the baby, play with the baby, or the baby needs a nap....wow...so hard!).
Also, I am the only one who comes up with ideas to try to keep the spark alive in our marriage. I am the one suggesting we go out on dates, arranging childcare, etc. he doesnt even suggest these things anymore, All that matters to him are his video games and his TV. Not us.
