It is important to have “us” time, it helps you and your Partner feel close and supportive. Feeling like this makes dealing with stress and strain easier. When you aren’t feeling good about each other you might end up working against each other rather than working together. This will unfortunately lead to a deteriorating relationship.

Because you are so busy with your new Baby, you think you don’t have time for “us”. It’s true, you don’t, but you have to make time.

I hurts when you feel like your partner is only making time for your baby and not you. It works both way, more commonly the father feels unloved. But in Ian and my case it was me. We are in the Situation where Ian does not live with Dylan. So if you are in the same situation, understand that your partner doesn’t see your baby as much as you, but that doesn’t stop you from hurting. Ian and I try to get out by ourselves atleast once a week, and it makes the hugest difference.

I suggest you make one day in the week an “us” night, get grandparents to babysit, and have a romantic night out. Not only will it help your relationship, it will help you be better parents.
