All couples fight, especially when a major life-change happens like a baby. I've been married twice, the second one stuck :) After a time, you learn that no matter what you do, you will never change your partner. The trick is to change yourself and learn to compromise (yes, women DO have to do most of the compromising....LOL) Learn how to say "I'm sorry". It's the most important phrase in the English language. And no matter what, making up can be the most fun there is!!! Good luck and always be careful what you say when angry, words are the hardest to take back.

I know three couples right now that go to the exact same thing!! One of those coiples were looking to divorce after being married for 7 months because they were fighting so much but they seem to be fine now so maybe you and your husband just got threw off alittle by the birth of your baby ( unless you have more then one child together) I would say find some common interest that you know you two share for sure and let life begin for you two as a family and married couple by finding special time so the two of you can continue to bond as you did before you had your child!!!

NO you are certainly not the only ones. I think it is because we are getting to know all the good and bad things about living together when we first marry. It will get better, trust me !! I've been married for 30 yrs now and we certainly have our ups and downs, but know where we both stand and the making up is always good fun even after all these years. Hang in there it will be worth it in the end. Good luck and Happy New Year

Sometimes, letting go seems like the easiest thing to do. But think about this: you've invested so much of your time and energy into another person; you've made a solemn promise; and you still know there's love, even if it's hiding underneath the surface.

Girl! I know what you're saying. I feel like I'm in the middle of a battle field. I hid out in my room for 6 hours today to avoid HIM. I too have a child and that is when our arguments seem to have gotten stronger. Believe me, I feel you. If you need to talk, my email is nextpo@sbcglobal.net. I too am glad I'm not the only one who lives this way. That sounds mean to say in a way I guess, but at least I'm not alone and know there are other couples in distress.

Trust me you are not the onlly one and I bet it is over the most small things. This is perfectly normal everyone goes through this phase in their marriage. You should start having concerns when the two of you stop arguing and are not communication at all thats when the real problem has started.

You're not the only ones...I've been married almost 20 years and we don't fight much anymore but for the first few years I felt like it would never stop. Parenthood is stressful. It will get better :-)

Children definitely add a strain to your marriage. Your both used to it just being the two of you and then all of a sudden everything is about this new little person who has joined you. Its not easy. No one said marriage was easy it takes work to make it work and if its not a joint effort the marriage probably will not survive. You have to fight for it.

your not the only ones. my husband and i did nothing but fight to the point i had to take the kids and leave!! we needed a huge cooling off period. but mine is in the Navy and we haven't been together for awhile now so who knows. couples counseling is my advice. the two of you need to learn how to talk again, and you need to fall in love again. please get couseling and see if you can't get your marriage back together! GOOD LUCK!!
