New Mom Seeks Help Over Husband's Postpartum Rejection

A new mom has turned to Reddit for advice after her husband expressed disgust at her weight gain following childbirth. The woman, who has struggled with postpartum depression and made two suicide attempts, said her husband had not told her he loved her in seven months and could not look at or touch her. She said she was trying to lose weight through exercise and portion control, but her husband insisted she take accountability for her weight gain. Hormones and stress can make it difficult for new moms to lose weight after childbirth, and the husband's criticism was deemed cruel by other Reddit users.
