For my first, I felt useless. You can’t do anything aside from change poopy diapers. If baby is crying, it wants mommy and the boob. You are a glorified errand boy. It’s part of becoming a parent.
6 months is probably the magic number for most kids. Routine, motor skills, etc. It’s going to be awesome when the little guy starts grabbing at your face and accepting the hugs and cuddles.
As far as mom, every woman is different. Every kid is different too. Some things were worse for kid 2. Some things were better. My wife was still working in an office for kid 1, so it was easier for her to separate. Kid 2 she worked from home, and wouldn’t leave him for anything. Coincides that my daughter loves to be out, and my son is a homebody. We didn’t have a lot of extra money for kid 1, so we really didn’t get to do much stuff just us. Kid 2 we’ve been able to do trips but we don’t get much time for each other. I think you have to remember that you’re a couple first, parents second. Not neglect your kids or anything, but if you aren’t good there you’re going to have a tough time being a parent and dealing with all the crap that comes with raising a child.
You’re probably going to have to remind your wife of that.

Could be Whormones

Divorce her. If she doesn’t entertain you 24/7, then it’s not worth it. Your need should come before that baby.
Posted on 10/8/23 at 9:03 am to ODoyleRulez
Yea, how about you come back if these problems still exist in 10-11 months.
Posted on 10/8/23 at 9:08 am to ODoyleRulez
7 weeks?
Dude. Take a step back.
She's bonding, as should you. Be supportive.
Your days of footloose and fancy free are over.

Love her and your child - maybe she's going through postpartum depression, maybe something else. Nevertheless, support her and things will get better soon.

You’re about to find out that love is what you do, not how you feel.

Well that made me tear up!

Good luck bud. Your life is over. You’re just a check now.

Kids test a marriage.
It’s a lot going on man.
I don’t want to remember those days as I was working two jobs and barely got any sleep.
Time moves on and it gets better.

Learn how to spell is a start

Isn’t about you anymore.

Give her space for a few. Those harmonies are crazy after childbirth.

You all are swimming in rushing waters right now. Focus on bonding with the baby. The other will come back around unless you’re a sick about it.

Probably the biggest test of a marriage. Forces you to either come together as a team and figure it out or create distance due to conflict.
7 weeks is SUPER early. I would say many won't even start to see a clearing in the woods until a year in, so OP should brace for a long ride.
I'd also be on alert for postpartum depression.
