Djfrankyfrank :
I feel like she said, "we need to have a serious conversation" 3 times in that, in the span of a few days. I feel like this is just a sign that they aren't communicating. The husband seems more than willing to help more and do more, he just wasn't proactively thinking of helping more. Which, sure, as a husband with a postpartum wife, you should be willing to help. But also, she needs to communicate her needs before she grows resentful. And it kind of sounds like she is resentful in this post. And she's projecting her insecurity about her body, onto him. She spent a solid portion of the story talking about not being the same. And like, to an extent, she isn't the same person. she spent 2 years pregnant or recovering from pregnancy while also caring for newborns. that is exhausting. And the fact that the husband said "you should sleep more," and then when she did, she felt a lot better and then went to the husband to say "I have to have that nap every weekend," as if he wasn't the one to suggest she needs more sleep, kind of points to her not actually taking his suggestion to heart. I'd love to see if there's an update to this story, and see if their new schedule is working out
