When Alone Time Feels Impossible: Navigating Parenthood Without Support

Lately, I’ve been struggling with finding even a moment to myself. My husband just doesn’t seem to understand how much I need a break, even for a short walk or a quiet cup of coffee. Every time I ask him to watch the baby so I can recharge, there’s resistance or an excuse. It’s exhausting to feel like I have to choose between my own well-being and being a present mom. I love my family deeply, but sometimes I wish I had a partner who saw my need for alone time as important, too. Has anyone else felt this way? How do you handle it when your partner won’t step in?
