@Emera no he said he had the thought about it because he felt neglected and unloved from the lack of sex. and that he had essentially asked himself if cheating was even worth it, which he said no since he would lose everything from doing that.
As much as the feelings piece I’m sure rocked you to your core, I’d be gentle with him. The thought didn’t lead to any action or even wandering eyes so I would be understanding of that piece if you can
I think kudos for him for being honest and communicating with you. It must have been a hard thing to say - but ultimately if he feels that way it’s much better to try and work it out as a couple rather than stay silent and either cheat or break up. I really don’t think it will Jane anything to do with your post baby body or anything like that - more just a case of growing apart because of the strain on your both of having a little one which can absolutely be worked on. So I know this must’ve been so hard to hear - but I actually really respect him for feeling he can be honest and wanting to work things through. That really shows he loves you xx
Totally feel you mamma on this, I’ve got some previous experience on this. My approach has been, we all have needs and its not black and white, making him feel bad isn’t solving anything but equally it’s hard to see him the same when he’s let you down, there’s no getting around it. One approach is to say to him, look if you feel that way again, please tell me, I’m not here to judge but I don’t want to be the last to know, and let’s work through whatever it is that’s making you feel like you want to go outside our relationship. If he needs more excitement/sex then talk about how that can be done through your relationship. Sexting while he’s at work could be fun or something which works for you guys! Feel free to DM if you need any support. Keep you head up xxx
yea while it did shake my perspective and trust of him, i still do respect him for even telling me. i also think it was mainly just everything going on with the baby and us both being exhausted from our separate roles and neglecting each other. i think we’ve finally gotten to the point where we can start focusing more on each other and communicate more openly.
Did he do anything at all other than just telling you he felt like it at one point?
