Everyone has been in situations during relationships where you're left unsure what to do, and need to go to a friend or elsewhere for advice.

In a similar way, one desperate mum who can 'feel' her 'relationship coming to an end' has reached out online for advice about what to do.

Taking to the forum website Mumsnet, the unhappy mother explained how she and her partner have a 5-month-old baby and barely spend any time together anymore.

She said: "Me and my partner have a little girl who will be 5 months in a couple of weeks she hardly sleeps at night so I am always shattered my partner works late and normally doesn't get home to 8 every night.

"I feel like we hardly see or spend time with each other because as soon as he comes in he'll bath our little girl and let me go to bed it's repeated every day.

"There's not really much affection anymore we hardly ever kiss. Has anyone else experienced this?

"Should I break up with him or try to work on it?"

It certainly sounds like a tough situation but a number of those commenting had the same advice for Sophie.

One person responded "Hang in there. You have a young baby - a grenade in your life. Does your partner have a day off from work? Can you do something on those days - a family walk, a coffee?

"It will get easier, but it helps if you can chat together and share the highs and lows."

While another said: "You're still in the trenches of parenting a tiny baby. Of course you hardly see each other. This bit is all about survival.

"It's a bit unusual to think your relationship is over because of it, though. Do you feel you aren't on the same page re: surviving? Were you in a bad place before the baby?"

Sophie replied: "We argue quite a lot and to be honest I don't think he feels the same anymore or wants to be here I honestly think the reason he is still here is because of our little girl."

Although, she also admitted he has told her this isn't the case.

Off the back of this others offering advice told her to trust him and stick it out:

"If that's what he said then choose to believe him. Give it time."

Others said to leave the situation and stop worrying for a while:

"It’s a very very hard time but it doesn’t last forever, you might feel very differently in a few month's time. You are both exhausted."
