Imagine you’re giving your baby a bath and you’re bent over the bath and your partner walks in and sees you then decides to feel you up down there how would you react?

I’d laugh and say ‘oi get off me’ - but we have quite a jokey relationship. I suppose it depends how it was done, obvs I wouldn’t be up for him actually feeling me up with my baby around but a playful grope where the baby can’t even see I wouldn’t bat an eyelid.

Mine depends on my mood 😬
If I’m alright I’d probably just go along with it and laugh it off as we have that type of relationship, but if I’m tired I’d snap x

I’d whack him. I think it’s weird as fuck to do while you’re tending to your baby

I’d also laugh and make a joke 🤷🏻♀️ my partner gives me a cheeky gripe often so wouldn’t think much of it tbh

Might get some hate for this but I do think sometimes our partners can feel a bit neglect and unwanted so sometimes I try to find the joy in it all. Like if they tried to flirt a bit through touch was the harm in having a bit of a laugh. It doesn’t mean you don’t care for your baby but it’s showing your partner that you still enjoy being with them too

I’d say oi, we have a good relationship and he’s being cheeky showing he still finds me attractive

I agree with this! I would take it as a compliment and probably just laugh

I think there’s a big difference between a little butt smack/squeeze and “feeling you up down there”

It has happened and i'd definately got mad, in the moment of vulnerability while taking care of your baby, its not something i want or expected, its also not funny. Theres a time and a place.

I’d make a joke like, “scram, I only have time for one heathen ATM” and laugh or say, “Did you check my calendar, I’m sure it says out of office/busy, I’ll make sure to pencil you in later” 😉 and laugh and continue washing baby. He may think you’re a hot mama or maybe like how some women see dads with their kids and they’re like 🔥 perhaps it’s the same for him with you and your kiddo. Sounds like a subtle MILF brag 😂 Good luck lady!

I’d be like wahey save it for once the baby’s asleep eh 😉

Sounds like my partner sometimes I’m fine laugh it off or whatever but most times I’m already touched out and he usually doesn’t help tend to baby so I’m resentful and tell him to stop

Feel like it depends lol

Sounds like my partner but we are jokey like that sometimes it leads to something later on but i don't find it weird at the time

I poke my husband in the butt whenever he bends over and he reciprocates

I’m commenting cuz I jus want to hear others perspectives cuz my Husband does this. And I get so annoyed bt it’s playful banter & we laugh abt it. I used to be a better sport abt all playful fun bt after having a baby Im sometimes overstimulated so we had to have a chat abt him jus randomly touching without my knowledge or permission cuz Im not childless woman he once knew. Nowadays I prefer he asks me or he reads the room before touching me even in a playful manner.

my Husband has the cutest butt, I literally can’t help myself! I love it wen I catch him off guard cuz that annoys him the most, wen he least expects it! 😜

I mean unless I’m annoyed at him for something, i would love my partner touching me at random times,i mean one of my love language is definitely receiving physical touch.

So long as it's not dangerous like you can get startled and drop bub or slip then it's ok here and there lol .. but it wouldn't be me as I close the door to the bathroom for bub privacy lol

Hold up hold up - “misogyny isn’t a good look on anyone” yet you just said to her “are you getting satisfied every night?” Isn’t that misogynistic?
Dude, be better. She has an opinion differing to you, do not come at single mums because she doesn’t share the same opinion as you.

holy shit girl😂😂 you went innnnn!

The only thing about this situation I might not like, is the fact I'm bathing baby, which is potentially a dangerous situation and it needs my attention. But I would totally just take it lol. And probably just say "oh hi there..."

I get annoyed AF when I'm trying to do things and my partner takes it as an opening to show affection. Most the time he does it while I'm trying to cook, not the time or place

you are on an app like this. You are on this very app. It’s not impacting your life to disagree

This comment section went off lol

I think the comment that you have relationship problems because your turning your man away is the issue here , and then saying that because you dont give it up hes probably cheating and your a prude. Hmm 🤔 but the single mom thing was a bit of a low blow. 🥴
the balance of being a mother and a wife is hard, were all so tired all the time, maybe instead of that , why don't our husbands give us a nice relaxing massage then maybe we'll be in a better mood since he wanna touch anyways. 😉 compromise

I love a good back & forth especially when ppl differ in opinions cuz I believe we all have something to learn from one another. Bt I draw the line & wouldn’t be able to continue a cordial conversation once there has been name calling or insults.
Like let’s go back & forth bt the minute some1 starts calling one another out of ur names & throwing jabs is wen I can see how some1 wud “loose it” in convo cuz say what u want to say bt it’s very disrespectful to call ppl a bad word & name.
I used to be some1 who used the word “bitch” bt it’s a “fun way” a lot cuz I watched a lot of real housewives bt unless u know me for real, that word is very offensive to jus a random person Im having a convo with. So long story short I think it’s easy for ppl to get offended by opinions when some1 slanders ur name or calls u out of ur name just because they disagree with u

girl tell me abt it. I wish I cud use the word bitch etc. cuz to me that word is not really that big of deal & most of my friends use it. Plus Ur usually very kind in these comment sections, so I know ur heart & intention bt sometimes it’s very hard for an internet stranger to know ur exact tone especially under a comment section X

I’m so sorry u were attacked as a single mom. I completely missed that comment. Ur doing a great job, don’t let anyone ever take that from u. We are all strangers & I just want us to be kinder to one another cuz we don’t really know what any of us are going thru. x I love a good HEALTHY discourse, bt I jus hate when it turns all the way left were we hit the block button. I like both of u ladies! X
Let’s save this energy for regular topics that make us loose it like circumsion, porn watching, religion, lgbtq rights, abortion rights, trump/politics etc. 🤗

I personally think it’s strange if I’m being ‘felt up’ whilst I’m washing my baby. I don’t necessarily think thinking this isn’t right equals having issues in a relationship

Shaming mothers for finding intimate and/or sexual behaviours around children uncomfortable is super icky, and placing marital blame on those mothers really reeks of misogyny. Seeing that supported so openly here is pretty sad.

Oh

Hmm I'm thinking 'grabbing her by the pu$$¥' and while she is bathing baby is perceived as poor timing and lacklustre foreplay by OP. It is a good sign that her partner is still attracted and desires sexual intimacy with her. OP hasn't followed up with a comment but I'm guessing that they may require non-sexual touch/verbal compliments and flirtation first in order to get the ovens burning and get in the right headspace. Problem is ALOT of men don't intuitively know how to do this and especially how to maintain sexual relations and emotional intimacy after kids. This might be the actual issue/uneasy feeling they were trying to figure out.
