No Libido?

Need advice! I’m almost 15 months PP with my son, it was very traumatic for me and changed my outlook on a lot of things and made me scared to even be intimate again.. for fear of getting pregnant again. I’m on BC now but I’m still not ready. My husbands love language is physical touch, and mine never has been, but I never have any desire to be intimate. I’m a SAHM right now and after a long day of that, I just want to relax.. and he’s the opposite. He thinks 2 times a week is “normal,” I beg to differ lol has anyone else dealt with never wanting to be intimate with their partner after child birth?

You just need to have an open honest conversation. 2 times a week is normal for a lot of people, sometimes 3-4+ times a week but that’s the point everyone is different. How you’re feeling is normal you just need to discuss that with him.

Honesty I can't relate, but I know many women do. I have a high libido and having sex was scaryyyy at first. You said, your on bc. Would you be more comfortable if he wore a condom as well, for double protection? Try to ask him to set the mood throughout the day. Even something like helping take care of the baby can help put you in that mood. Both of your needs are important.

If your partner got a prostitute pregnant and then abandoned the child/ran away, what would be your response? Read…

So you were not in a relationship at the time or were about to be in a relationship, he gets the prostitute pregnant.
It’s her fault for not taking their morning after pill.
He tells her straight up that he’s not going to be involved and that she should terminate it.
She says that she won’t terminate and she hopes that he does stick around

So she deliberately gets pregnant, basically traps him

What would be your reaction?
he’s response is:
“She trapped me and it’s her fault for not taking the pill”

My village is missing

This is a late night vent session obviously but l make it short. My boyfriend and I went to a basketball game in Orlando. His sister was babysitting our son. We come back tonight for her to say he slept for 6 hours and just woke up. Now what type of shit is that. I’ve been feeling lately like no one cares for me or helps out in the way I need them to. People want to see you smile but don’t try to find the cause when you’re not. I’m an only child and my mom lives far. I feel very alone even with the dad involved. I feel alone and like I’m doing it all. I can’t even imagine having another kid which I want but this life here is tough

Sex life is 🫠

Im a little desperate already . Im not a huge fan on blowjobs but I’m doing it because I know he likes it . If he wants it in a car, during work meeting , on the balcony, on the beach everywhere I’m okay to do that . However, I’m not getting anything in return. I mean the last time he went down was more than 1.5 years ago . Okay, I was pregnant maybe he did not feel like doing it while I had a belly as he told me . , but I’m not pregnant already for awhile and I’m always telling him that I want him to go down and he is always having an excuse like “tomorrow “ etc . At the beginning it was funny and I was like okayyy but now it’s not as I’m not enjoying our sex in general . Like the process itself does not make me finish . As I’m breastfeeding and super dry down there and I’m always telling him to put lubricant as it’s hurting me . And sometimes it feels like I am begging for that as he is more comfortable without it , but damn IM NOT OKAY without it . So basically I do not remember when was the last time I have finished during sex . I understand that now with a baby it’s hard to fully enjoy it and have enough time for everything. But still . Just kiss me and put your dick inside me does not seems sexy . To be honest I understand why in marriage women does not want to have sex . Like I feel like it’s already work that I have to do not a pleasure. I’ve been telling him that but as I can see no changes applied 🫠
