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

I know this sounds weird, but I think my fiancé has my tech tapped… I journal and write short stories that I’ve used as an outlet for years. Way before I met him. Lately, it feels like he repeats things that I’ve written or said over the phone. For example, I’ll tell a friend that I want to visit her in San Diego. Then, he’ll come home and say I should visit my friend in San Diego soon. Am I paranoid or is he really listening? I feel violated and exposed. He doesn’t have a tech background.

My friend’s ex is trying to win her back and she hates being single and like I ~should~ discourage this, but on a selfish level I want to be able to go out on his boat again this summer. He’s not a particularly horrible guy, but they’re a bad match when it comes to values/goals, which is why it didn’t work out the last time.
