SAHD

My husband is a stay at home dad and it works well for us. He was laid off before baby was born and hasn’t been able to find a new position. It was an adjustment at first, to him, not being the “provider” but now he enjoys it. And I enjoy it too because I can concentrate at a work knowing baby is in good hands.

These past few days I had a conversation with my partner and I told him that we needed to spend more quality time together and try to have more sex. It turns out that yesterday we had an intimate moment, but I have a slight impression that he took a pill for an erection.

My question is, if that were the case, should I feel bad because he needs that to get aroused? Or maybe because of the pressure of “we have to do it,” he decided to take it?

It makes me wonder if that were true, does it mean there’s a lack of attraction toward me? What do you think?

Loneliness

Hi girlies

I recently moved here after marriage, my husband is from here but I can’t help feeling so lonely. I’m so used to my big beautiful network back home and I’ve really been struggling to make friends here

As well as that I’ve had a tough pregnancy so it’s made it harder and I spend a lot of time at home where his life hasn’t changed. This is his city, he has his friends his routine and his family

Feeling a bit lonely.

Looking for a mom friend who loves Jesus, is a SAHM (or understands that season), and enjoys simple life things—being outside, nature, baking, cooking, and cozy home days. Easygoing, kind, loves animals, and values a real, low-pressure friendship. Can vent without feeling judged. We don't have to like or agree with the same things. We can support one another. I just have been feeling a bit lonely that I don't have friends I can constantly text about anything. Idk if it's just a season or if anyone else feels the same way.

Suspected cheating - am I crazy?

Low Sex Drive/Neurodivergence/Mental Health

I’m 33. I have an almost 4 year old son. He is our only child, and we are not planing to have anymore children. I have always had a low sex drive, although it’s currently it’s at an all time low. I take Sertraline for OCD anxiety/depression and the combined oral contraceptive pill. Recently, my sex drive has been getting worse. Life is full and busy, and I have to take Sertraline for my mental health. It’s the only thing that keeps my OCD at bay, and I’ve tried reducing it to help my sex drive but the OCD thoughts are unbearable when I lower it. I find maybe Sertraline/the pill lowers my sex drive potentially? Are there any strategies to increase sex drive/desire? I find a few glasses of wine before intimacy seems to help, as I seem to also have anxiety with sex and relaxing, but once I get into it, i’m fine. I work part-time, tired and have a busy life and Dyspraxia, so find things more fatiguing than usual. I can go months without sex, but of course, it’s not exactly normal and my husband gets frustrated and it is becoming an issue. I’ve spoken to my husband and i’ve told him I’m aware of it and that it’s not about him. I told him I don’t want to make it an issue and to improve things in that sense. I love my husband and want our relationship to remain good. Does anyone have any experience of this/advice/suggestions to help increase sex drive? I’d really appreciate the help. Thanks in advance.
