eah there are a few things, with the biggest being her moving from Florida to Louisiana.


So now she is stuck at home all day in a state where she doesn't even have her friends at?


She feels isolated and trapped. And again in the back of her head is the thought "we aren't even married..he could kick me out of the house any day and I would have no where to go and I would have no way to live on my own."

I’d say about 40 percent of the time I really don’t like her. I mean is that normal?


Yeah, that's normal dude. That's just called being in a relationship. I don't think anybody is 100% happy all the time with their SO. Just gotta do what you gotta do to make it work.

Now that Charli (our daughter) is becoming “easier” to take care of, I have been helping out more.


That’s likely one of the core issues right there. You are not “helping out”. You are raising your daughter. You are her father. You should be doing just as much as mom, with the obvious exception of breastfeeding. There’s no excuse for you to not have been pulling your weight when it comes to childcare. She is home all day with a baby. That is not an easy day. Adult interaction is limited, and you are at the mercy of an infamt’s schedule and physical needs. Then you come home and expect her to have a clean house and dinner in the table (I know you haven’t said this specifically, but I am reading between the lines).

I wouldn’t like you very much either if I were her. Pull your weight around the house and especially with your daughter. Don’t be one of those men who thinks it’s not their job to change diapers, feed, and clean up after the baby.

At least they gave her a stripper name so she doesn't have to use a fake one

We’ve literally had that conversation. I’m not some kind of terrible guy. I’d never ever do that, id go stay with my family and leave her in the house. And she knows that. Like I’ve been pretty fricking mad at her and she’s said some fricked up things to me and really now I just say, “hey babe I’m gunna get out of here for a bit bc I don’t want to continue this fighting and yelling.” It took me a while to be able to get to this point. But it seems like that makes her more pissed.

For the record, the first few months I didn’t do shite really. She had a bond with the Mom and I was scared and didn’t really know how to do anything if I’m being honest. I have no issue now feeding her, changing her diapers, changing her clothes, bathing her etc I just don’t do it as much as her.

OP is it your money or is it both of yours equally? Did she have a job prior to the pregnancy?
