Haven’t had sex since birth of our daughter
Me and my husband have been together for over 9 years, when we were trying for a baby we were having sex all the time and luckily we conceived before it became too “routine”. Before this we would have sex at least every 2/3 weeks but since being pregnant from about 7 months we have not had sex once, I am now 8 months PP.
This is our first child and I have been EBF until 6 months when we have introduced some food, parenting has hit me like a ton of bricks and I am exhausted most evenings I am falling asleep on the sofa when our baby finally goes to sleep. I feel like we are stuck in a rut romantically and I feel I am internally building some resentment because I feel like I am doing more on the parenting side of things (he is going out a lot more than me to see friends, family etc and I am at home looking after the baby) and being tired and lacking confidence in my new mum bod I don’t feel to jump on him and initiate sex.
I am also feeling a bit inadequate financially because I’m so skint on maternity leave money, he is the one working and reminds me that he’s the provider and has different stresses such as being able to pay all the bills etc. I just feel like we are on different wavelengths I don’t really know what I can do to spark some sort of romance and understanding back into the relationship but am a bit worried it’s been going on so long now, is anyone else having a similar experience or have any ideas what I can do to try and revive my marriage?
We are in the exact same boat!! My husband doesn’t help with the children. I’m always exhausted ( I have 2 under 2) and by the time it gets to 7/8 when the kids go to bed, I can barely keep my eyes open. We’ve had sex twice since baby (7 months old). Once hurt so we stopped but all he seems to want is sex. I’m also having period problems at the moment so the time window is pretty short as well. I’m finding we are in a rut as all I want to do once the kids are in bed is sleep and all he wants to do is be on his phone for some ‘ him time’ xx
