Not interested in sex anymore

I'm not interested sex. Maybe because I don't feel connected to my husband anymore I'm just not interested. Feels like extra work and it's not for my enjoyment. My body has changed since I had my 2 year old son. So that may be part of it too. I don't feel like my husband is being a fully present and considerate partner either so that doesn't help. I feel like the burden of everything is on me day to day responsibilities, household chores, taking care of the child, family outings, our finances, future goals and plans, everything. And honestly seeing him as unhelpful and lazy is a big turn off.
Idk can anyone relate? Any advice?
He wants sex but I'm just not into it.

Sounds like you need to have a frank conversation with him about how you feel.
He can’t fix anything if he isn’t aware. And if you tell him and he still doesn’t fix things or change how he approaches/helps then more fool him and you can do better.
I totally get the feeling of not being interested in sex but mine isn’t because my partner is sort of disconnected and leaves things to me. I don’t think he’s naturally that way inclined I don’t think men are very attentive as a sex not to sound sexist but I consistently state my wants and needs to him and he delivers.
End of the day if he wants to have sex then he needs to do the relevant things to get it, it’s not foreplay or anything like that when you’ve had a child. Foreplay sort of turns into a present partner who shares the load and puts you first

Have your hormones checked. 2 years is right when they regulate but sometimes you may need to help your body. Check your estrogen, progesterone levels, vitamin levels etc… but also have an honest conversation with him

Definitely relate to this. I’m too exhausted after to wake up early because I breastfeed and it already is draining enough to do that that additional physical exertion like that makes me so exhausted that I sleep in late with my LG until 2pm and it throws our entire day off each time

Lost friends since being a mum

Good morning! Can anyone relate to this!

My two friends and me have always been close since our early teens. I’m the first to have a baby.

One friend has big house, career and boyfriend

Other out of a long term relationship and being single having fun etc

Before baby we would all hang at my
Apartment, chat eat and just have
Fun.

Now I don’t even get a text to ask how my baby is, how I am. I really thought they would be awesome aunties. But honestly they don’t care.

They meet up a lot to do cool things, which I can’t be upset about as I can’t as I have my baby.

I don’t know I feel sad about it.

Am I over reacting?

31 weeks pregnant and lonely

How to deal with loneliness in pregnancy when your boyfriend goes out with his friends drinking 😅🥲 I only have three friends, two are never really free and one lives back in Liverpool and has her own set of friends where she goes to raves and goes on holiday with them lol. My boyfriend is going out soon for the night as it’s sunny and I’ll just be sat here crying like every single time! When does it stop 🤣
