Oouuu been there girl! Write him a little letter that could lead into a sexually physical night for you guys!! I was in the same boat with mine and it took me going out of my way and being that girl I was before kids to let him know I was wanting that connection again. I kind of became all about the twins when they were first born but after a year I decided I wanted “us” back. Unfortunately since I was the one that withdrew, I was the one that had to muster the extra energy to execute! It worked!!
@Alicia thank you so much girl. Gonna remind myself to stop and do this as much as possible! ❤️
@McKenna omg girl I can’t imagine how busy you were with twins! This makes a lot of sense. I also am the one who has stepped back so I do want to put in the work. I’ll try the letter thing! I’m just trying to be more intentional with my love since he truly is the best💕
Weekly quality time together without screens, even if it’s just at home after baby is asleep. And every day try to do or say something nice
All 3. Do all 3 lol. Why does it have to be one or the other. We spend every night on the couch together cuddling and watching our series, my love language is physical touch and he gives me lots of massages, sometimes asked sometimes spontaneous. We have monthly date nights because I like to get dressed up and go out to eat so he books it monthly, sometimes it’s a double date. Do everything. He’s taking me out tonight to eat at 6.30 but that’s not a “date” per se but still nice to get dressed up and go out for Mday
Parenthood puts some couples through the gutter. Definitely make it a must to start dating again. Do all the cute, sweet, flirty, romantic things you used to do whilst dating and before the baby to boost your relationship and fall in love all over again. do that allow being parents to suck you into a dark hole where you negoect your relationship. x
Pretend like you’re going on a first date together. No baby. Get to know each other again! If you feel like strangers maybe pretend to be. If you can, go get ready at a friend’s house or your mom’s or smth after work and have him come pick you up for the date. Act like you don’t know anything about each other and ask all kinds of questions. It’s fun to flirt all over again! Obviously you don’t need to “stay In character” the whole time, but it’s nice to just go back to pre-baby and get to know each other better. You’ve both changed as people over the years, so meet each other again for the first time. Not as parents, but as you
Leave love notes for him! In his closed laptop, on his steering wheel, bathroom mirror… I’ve left them in his shoes too. Just a random place. Just a little “I love you! Thanks for all the effort and care you put into our family!” As a words of affirmation person myself, I truly never get tired of it ❤️ and the more details the better! Like “It was so helpful when you put the toddler down for bed the other night. He loves you so much, and I love the bond you guys have!” I keep a post-it stack next to a pen in our kitchen (near our garage), so it’s easy for me to sneak the notes somewhere. (This is a good reminder for me to start doing it again bc my husband always comes home happy and cutsie when I do this)
You can always make him lunch and leave love notes Kiss him goodnight and good morning Text him in the day and tell him you love him
Whenever my boyfriend and I are clashing a bit I try to take a moment with him, it's hard to do with a baby. I give him a big hug and kiss and remind him I love him and im so grateful for him. We try to have showers together as our reset time too, scrub his back :) Good luck to your family!🫶
