My partner and I recently had a baby, and I’m genuinely curious to hear from the men’s perspective. How did becoming parents affect your relationship with your partner? What are some things your partner did that made you feel loved, appreciated, or still important after the baby arrived? On the flip side, were there things that unintentionally created distance or resentment? I’m not talking about the obvious “help with the baby” answers. I’m more interested in the relationship side of things—communication, intimacy (not just sex), affection, appreciation, quality time, emotional support, feeling like a team, etc. Looking back, what’s one thing you wish your partner had known or done differently during the postpartum period? And what’s one thing that really strengthened your relationship? I’d love to hear honest experiences from dads, whether positive or negative. submitted by /u/CuriousWuff
