How do you guys cope? Like seriously, my  son (in every way but blood) is 6 months old and whilst I love him so much and would lay down my world for him, I feel constantly overwhelmed by the constant presence of the biological dad coming to pick him up, as well as the lack of quality time I can spend with my girlfriend (of 8 months) alone. 

Everyone I talked to (including my partner) just points out that I knew what I signed up for so suck it up, and I do my best to. I'm not looking for a way out, I just want to know how to deal with all the stresses in a relationship like this without developing resentment towards my partner and her child.
