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.
