My only advice is talk it through, get clarity from her perspective and then share how you feel... just make sure you listen to her and you repeat what she says in a way to acknowledge her.

Done that and will continue to do that

Part of it may or may not be postpartum depression, which is way more common than people think - not sure if there’s a delicate way to see if that’s relevant here but obviously a therapist would be a starting point

Agree with BCG1 on the post partum possibility. If you cannot get her to talk to a therapist, you can always contact her Ob/GYN and have them talk to her. Don't delay though, the longer it goes unchecked the worse it gets for her and everyone else.

Agree with all of this. Good ObGyns are on the lookout for this

My sister and I have recently both come to the realization that our parents guilt us into spending time with them or visiting them and the guilt causes us both to shut down. Our dad is the main offender, often reminding us how little time we have left with him, asking us why we’re leaving so soon or reminding us about all the good deeds and sacrifices made. We’ve both noticed this shift in our relationship with our parents after graduating from college and starting our own adult lives. Continued

So… 3.5 year relationship came crashing in Jan due to covid depression, work burn out, lockdown etc. We have stayed in contact and recently he has come around to apologizing and considering getting back together. However he also revealed he started seeing someone casually 4 weeks ago and technically is cheating on her by meeting me for coffee and to discuss this. I’m upset that he’s dating others but shouldn’t be right? I mean, I did the same. Still hurts though. And I told him to sort that out

Stupid Question- We have been thinking for IVF and trying to understand with this process, is there any difference in the health and life of the child as compared to a child born without IVF. I did ask this with our doctor and he said casually its all same. This is not to question any doctor but just to really understand what is going to be different with the kid. This is not very old technology and not much studies as well.
