Husband doesn't do night feeds — feeling resentful

He works, I'm on maternity leave, so the logic is 'you sleep in the day'. But I physically cannot sleep when baby sleeps because there are ten other things to do. By midnight I am full of resentment watching him sleep soundly. We've talked about it. Nothing changes. Anyone navigate this?

I had this exact conversation (argument). What worked: we made a schedule. He does 11pm-2am, I do 2am onwards. Non-negotiable. Having it in writing somehow made it easier.

Resentment in the first year is real and it is valid. You are not wrong to feel it. I'd strongly suggest couples therapy — not because anything is broken but because this stage is genuinely hard.
