Hello everyone, i am after ftm to a 10month old baby boy. I am feeling very distant from my husband for a few months. Whenever i say i need us to spend time together , it just never happens. He always says he loves me irrespective. We are not physical anymore, there are no touches/hands holding etc. Is this how motherhood feels? Every night my body is needed by my baby so much and on the other hand I feel like my husband doesn’t.
Sorry for venting here! But just wanted to see anyone else is going through the same? What have you done to improve your relationship or go back to that loving relationship? it just feels i am only a mother now. Every relationship with my husband doesn’t exist. We both love each other but I don’t know how to bring the love/touch back.
Ps: during pregnancy we barely had sex as it was our first baby and we just didn’t knew if it was safe.

I’m still pregnant, so I can’t tell from the mother perspective/ hormones, but I’d say, first talk to him about your feelings, ask him to hug you (I need it every night from my husband and I clearly ask for it, they can’t guess if you don’t communicate) and start sex! Sex is very important in a relationship
