Anyone else not having sex with their partner after having a baby? Our baby is nearly 6 months and I think we’ve literally done it about 3 times since baby was born …
I literally say about it all the time and he either ignores and changes the conversation or will agree and when it comes to it has an excuse. Starting to get really fed up. I know it is selfish but I also have needs…

We’ve ended up in dry spells also, and he acknowledges it.
Hes very mentally and emotionally driven, so by nature hes just exhausted at the end of the day, as am I, im juat wholly obsessed with him and will have sex with him regardless of x,y or z lmao.
All in all, I think it’s normal. What’s not normal, is being dismissive about it. There’s times where he wasn’t up to it, but has offered to at least take care of me. I often juat don’t bother because it’s him that I want. Eventually he comes around.

I think it’s normal but usually the other way around like it’s now my partner who is wanting it a lot I think bc he doesn’t get it a lot now compared to before since having our daughter she is 5 months 2 weeks whereas before it was always me wanting it more lol I think they miss what they don’t have in a sense
Yeah I just feel like ugly and very insecure so I guess that’s not helping and since having baby it’s got worse. Then him not wanting sex makes me think am I not as attractive for him as before. I feel gross all the time. Every now and then il make effort with my hair and make up hoping he would notice and he barley he looks at me. Obvs it’s not for him it’s for myself but a “ you look nice” would cheer me up every now and then

Could it be something that would need marriage counseling? Maybe he has PPD, or unresolved issues from the past. Even before the baby, were you initiating more? Did you have a higher libido than him? Does he have certain p*orn fixations? If yes, I think it’s something he brought over from before your relationship with him.
