I know how you maybe can meet some new friends.
I found the best place to start when I first moved to this area knowing no one. I went to the public library second day and loved the people that were working there. Now I can even go sit in one of the office and we talk and talk.
Most of them have childrens hour even though your baby is tiny you can meet other mothers at the library during childrens hour.
Most librarys also have other free programs through the week you can go to.
Also now that spring is here look for a nice park in your area one with a child's play area and take your baby to play.
You can sit on a swing with your baby and talk with other mothers that are in the park.
Don't be afraid when you meet a new person to ask if you can call them some time and ask for the name and phone number. I hear most new mothers go through down times.
Do you notice what sort of neighbors you have do you see any that you would like to know better bake a batch of brownies and go over with the baby and introduce your self.
I have found that there are many loney people in this world.
Notice when you go shopping if some one lingers near you and talk to you do not be afraid to talk with them and ask them there name and say hey I enjoyed talking with you can I call you some time and get number.
Also there must be some sort of support groups in your area.
I went to some for CFS support groups a few years ago and made a few freinds.
Of course we are all too tired to spend time doing much together.
Carry a little note pad in your diaper bag or purse and a pen and remember to get peoples names and numbers and then call them.
Also I am sure some Churches in your area have out reach programs for new people like welcome wagon and visit people just look in phone book and call a few and ask if some one can visit you.
If no one answers try calling when you know people are in Church.
It will not matter if you are not of that religion you are lonely and they might have some good advise on marriage problems to offer and you can just use it as an avenue untill you meet other new people or as a stepping stone untill things are better for you maybe .
Also Nursing homes often have people in them that are not really very sick just old or disabled and many lonely people if there is a nice one in your area go in and ask at the front desk if you may visit with one of the patrons in the nursing home.
Tell them you move in to the area and you are looking for people to be freinds with and spend time with.
Tell them you would like to meet some grandmother like people for your daughter to get to know.
Every time I go to visit a nursing home I see others in rooms that look out as I pass by just wishing some one would visit them. These people most have so much experance in life.
As far as relationship with your husband goes don't let him get away. He may need some extra incouragement maybe tons of encouragement.
You have changed in his eyes you gave birth.
He might think he is doing you a favor allowing you to rest.
Suprise him dress trashy for him, play music , dance, drink a little wine , suprise him with some thing new , do what ever it takes to show him you still have it and help him to get the job done.
It may take some extra energy on your account but you won't be sorry if you knew you were doing your best effort and things still were not happening but it may take more than one time at this to get good results.
All marriages go through growing periods of change.
A tiny baby must make the biggest change.
Get through the day and try to think of ways to meet people.
I have a freind she was in a similiar situation I do not know if I would do what she did but she decided to get a part time night job so she could get out and make friends and she uses the job money to pay for day care.
She works in a kitchen that serves one mid night meal to a factory of workers.
Her husband is very possive of her and he would not pay for day care or allow her to go very many places with out him and he worked 6 even 7 days a week and drank at night and they even started to retire at night to separate bed rooms. She joined a gym during the day that had day care that she oould walk to he did mind giving her money for that was before she starting working.
She is holding on but not giving up either.
I hope things get better for you and for that baby of yours.
