Quote From: ruthiegDon't be so hard on yourself. You've just had a baby and you're exhausted. If your husband is so great then he will understand that. Mine did. I'm a bit like you, in that I help out my friends to the point where there's nothing left for my family. I, too, blow up over the littlest things. I sure feel silly and a little guilty afterwards. If you say that you've been like this for the entire relationship, then your husband knows what he's in for and it shouldn't ruin your marriage.
Are you able to take a little "me" time? Maybe a long, relaxing bath when your husband is home so that he can take care of your baby. Just lock yourself in the bathroom and run the bath and put in some aromatic oils or bubble bath. After all, it's his baby too. It's not like you did it all by yourself. He had something to do with it, as well.
Also, ask some of these friends to help out. If they're good friends, then they'll understand what you need and will be only too willing to help you. If they're not good friends, they'll disappear and not bother you again.
I wish you all the best for Christmas and the New Year. I hope some of this helps you, or at least makes you smile. Just remember, you are not alone and you only need to ask for help. It will come from somewhere. Take care of yourself. Your beautiful family needs you.
Bye from Australia.
