7 months in with new baby and partner doing bare minimum

Hi. Sorry to bore everyone just need a shoulder to cry on today.

I fell in love with my partner for many reasons but mainly due to how kind and attentive he was. 7 months ago we gave birth to a DD. She was very much planned.

However, since she has been born my partner does the absolute bare mimimum (unless nagged) and likes the playing part of being a parent just not the responsibilities that come with it. I hate to say it but i feel asthough im a single parent living with a lodger who needs his washing done and his dinner ready on arrival from work. Hes very distant and whenever i open up to him and try and chat he will either go off topic or just sit in silence. I love my little family but i feel low at the moment. I dont want posh meals, flowers or declarations of love. I just need a little hand every now and then and to feel loved. 

I am very good at staying positive and throwing my time into my daughter but today I just feel like things are getting on top of me. 

Thanks for reading x
