Postpartum doesn’t just change moms — it changes relationships.

In this episode of No Textbook for Life, we talk about why the postpartum season is so hard on marriages and partnerships, and why so many couples feel disconnected, resentful, or misunderstood after having a baby.

This conversation covers:

• The invisible mental load mothers carry

• Why “his tired” and “her tired” are not the same

• How resentment builds when needs go unspoken

• The identity shift moms and dads experience differently

• What actually helps postpartum moms feel supported

• Why help isn’t stepping in — it’s stepping up

• How the lack of a village makes everything harder

This episode isn’t about blaming — it’s about understanding what’s happening so couples can survive and grow through one of the hardest transitions of life.
