CONFESSION BOX: Our newborn is driving hubby and I apart

I had a baby a few months ago and my husband and I could not be happier.

But I have noticed a change in my relationship with my husband since the birth and I am worried about it. Things just aren't the same between us and I don't know how to make us get back to the way it was before.

He seems to be spending extra hours at work and often goes out over weekends. It's almost as if he is uncomfortable in the house. I don't understand it.

Worried, Eersterus

Your lives are never the same once you have children and it takes time to adjust. He might be feeling overwhelmed with the responsibility of the family growing and also the fact that your priorities and focus is on the new baby.

Ensure that he is fully involved with the baby and that you make time for him as well.

It's difficult because I am sure that you often feel exhausted. Speak to your husband and explain how you feel. Tell him your concerns and try to work together so that you have time for each other.
