Partner and porn postpartum!

Idk why I am so sensitive to this lately. I am an adult… I understand most watch it and what not. But since having the baby two months ago… it really hurts my self esteem knowing my partner does it. It’s obviously harmless and to just let off steam… but I’m trying to find ways to manage these emotions. As I’ve explained this to him…. But you know….. they still do it. What bothers me even more is I had to have an unexpected surgery and stay in the hospital the other night… and he was watching it for two hours at 2AM while I was in surgery. I just don’t get it. I know I am enough. But I don’t understand why it effects me so different now. Anyone else? Advice?

@Haley I mean he always did it here and there. but never anything too much. I think during the pregnancy it was very minimal. But honestly postpartum I haven’t shut him down at all. I always take care of him! I do think it’s a very quick let me do this when she’s not around to take off some stress…. But like it bothers me more now than it did before pregnancy and having the baby

I think that masterbation and sex with your partner are two different things. Your just at a vulnerable time and feeling a lot more insecure.

His choice of timing is weirder than the rest lol Try asking if you can watch together 😉 might spark some fun times lol

It's bothering you because you just had a baby. Your hormones are all over the place. Your body doesn't look the sane and has been through hell and back. You had surgery. I mean if those aren't good enough reason to be upset and feeling down about him watching porn, I don't know what is. Oh also did I mention that you can't have sex yet and you are recovering and taking care of a new born. He gets to blow off steam while watching porn and here you are for the last almost year growing and bringing life into this world and it's completely changed your body. Yeah I would be very upset too and I watch porn on the regular with my bf, but I would be pissed and not allow it atm. I'm sorry momma and I hope maybe yall can talk and work something out because you don't deserve to feel like this and it especially shouldn't be coming from him.

I’ve been watching more porn and masturbating since having my son. My husband is amazing in bed but I love taking the time for myself to relax. It really has absolutely nothing to do with him. To me it’s like having a glass of wine to unwind. I enjoy it but I will always prefer my husband and it doesn’t come close to comparing to him - I make sure to tell my husband it often. I feel like he needs to work on making you feel more secure.
