Bliss Poureetezadi thought becoming a mother would bring her and Zack closer — a shared chapter of love, growth, and partnership. But months into parenthood, the Love Is Blind alum is breaking her silence on a far harsher reality: she feels alone.
In a candid moment with close friends, Bliss confessed that behind the curated Instagram moments and baby milestones lies a deep exhaustion — one she’s been carrying mostly in silence.
“I love our baby more than anything,” she began. “But there are days I look around and wonder... Why does it feel like I’m doing this alone?”
A Marriage Divided by the Details
Bliss says Zack’s approach to parenting is rooted in perfection — strict routines, spotless bottles, meticulously scheduled feedings. But for Bliss, the emotional labor has become suffocating.
“He tells me how to do everything — but he’s not the one up at 3AM,” she said. “I’m the one holding our baby through the meltdowns, the sickness, the chaos. I’m the one who hasn’t slept.”
Zack, who once promised partnership, now feels more like a supervisor than a teammate.
“It’s not that he’s absent,” she clarified. “It’s that he wants everything done his way. But when things fall apart — I’m the one left picking up the pieces.”
The Pressure to Be “Perfect”
Bliss admits that Zack's high standards — while well-intentioned — have pushed her into a spiral of self-doubt.
“When he critiques the way I swaddle, or questions what I fed the baby, it feels like I’m constantly failing. And I’m already so tired,” she whispered.
She’s reached a point where even simple joys feel heavy. “I can’t enjoy being a mom when I feel like I’m being watched, judged — and left alone with all of it.”
Another Baby? “He’s Talking About More, and I’m Just Trying to Survive This.”
Bliss also revealed that Zack has brought up the idea of baby #2 — a thought that, to her, feels like a cruel joke right now.
“How can I think about another baby when I can barely breathe through the demands of this one? I feel stretched so thin, I don’t even recognize myself some days.”
“I’m Not Just a Mom — I’m Still Me, Too.”
What Bliss wants now isn’t more advice or more rules. It’s empathy. Partnership. To be seen — not just as a mother, but as a woman trying to give her all while losing pieces of herself in the process.
“I didn’t sign up to raise a child and hold a marriage together by myself,” she said. “I need Zack to be with me in this — not above me.”
As their parenting journey continues, one thing is clear: Bliss’s emotional plate is full, and her plea is simple — don’t let the pressure to be perfect destroy the family you’re trying so hard to build.
