My son is 9 weeks old and is our second child - hubby is very supportive and is great with our toddler. The past few weeks however I’m finding that little things my husband do are starting to get on my nerves so much such as, being in the bathroom for so long or always being on his phone and distracted. I think some of it is resentment as he seems to just mindlessly cruise through the days whereas I have to ask if I can have shower and am constantly thinking about the children’s needs.
We’ve yet to have sex since the birth and I know he is eagerly waiting for me to be ready but right now I just don’t want to with the way he’s being. Like I’m just not attracted to him currently… It’s our 10 year anniversary in August and I keep asking about doing something special like going away for the weekend as I’d love for him to show a bit of romance but he just dismisses it saying it’ll cost too much.
Im guessing this will pass but wanted to see if anyone else is feeling the same?

i was the same way i spoke to him and we had a long chat about how i was constantly having to ask for basic things like having a shower whereas he would just get up and have one. i asked that everyday once he got up (he works night shift so our logistics are abit different) he asked me if i wanted a shower now or before he went to work and we agreed on which chores would be his so far this is working. recommend having a chat and setting expectations sometimes they just need telling mine had no clue
