Why you're fighting after baby
You love each other. You love the baby. And somehow the smallest thing can turn into a fight at 11:40pm.
That does not mean your marriage is broken. It means two tired people are carrying more than they can say out loud.

Couples after a baby often argue about chores, feeding, sleep, visitors, money, sex, screens, and who gets a break. The real issue sits underneath: both people feel unseen.
- One person feels trapped in the baby routine.
- One person feels corrected every time they try to help.
- Both people miss who they were before everything changed.
Use tonight's argument as information
Before you try to solve the whole marriage, name the fight you keep repeating. Then ask: what are we asking for underneath this?
If the fight is about dishes, the hidden ask may be rest. If the fight is about feeding, the hidden ask may be trust. If the fight is about visitors, the hidden ask may be protection.
