Am I in the wrong

Since having my girl I’ve struggled with not having much of a sex drive and struggling to get intimate I never get a break from baby I pretty much do everything on my own even tho I have a partner, I caught my partner w***ing in the shower and he’s turning it around on me as if it’s all my fault I’ve explained I don’t like him doing it as the thought of him getting off to other girls etc it make me feel like I’m not good enough now he’s mad at me .

Please tell me I’m not in the wrong before I go insane

No youre not wrong and youre not alone. I have very little sex drive since having my baby 15 months ago already

Maybe he was thinking about you and not other girls?

Having a low sex drive post childbirth is totally normal and make sure you don't feel pressured into sex more than you want to now that you know he does have a w**k.

But in my opinion, and I do know that everyone has different views on it, him having a w**k wouldn't bother me.

I did when I had my first child I was okay with him doing it as long as it wasn’t with other women. At least I knew he was home with me.

Im probably going to get some stick for this comment but here goes...
Masturbation is the most normalised thing to do...Just because you are struggling with your libido doesn't mean he is and you can't tell someone not to do something. He was having private shower time in which you wouldn't have known about. Maybe you need to have a conversation about the quality time you have together. Personally I would rather my husband Masturbate than seek attention outside the relationship.

He has needs though. If you as a partner can’t currently meet them (and yes we have seasons where we have no libido and can’t match his libido, that’s okay) then I’d rather him wank and get off that way than step out physically altogether or pressure you for it when you’re too tired/not on the mood etc. He may be thinking about you because we can’t prove that he’s wanking to other girls.

I don’t think he’s wrong. If you didn’t actually see him watching porn or looking at another girls pictures how do you know he wasn’t thinking about you? There has to be some kind of compromise.

Sex drive or lack of 🤣

What are we all doing to get our sex drive back? I never had a huge one prior to kids but would occasionally feel like intimacy. I now NEVER. I almost freeze up whenever my partner try's to touch me. I know it's getting between us and it's not good, I need to change something up?! For context mt kids are 1.5 and 4.

UK Mums... Has your midwife ever gave you back the pre pot (iykyk) and told you to empty it at home and reuse it for next time? 🤣

I had my 34 week appointment today and as usual they gave me a pot to wee in. After my midwife tested my urine, she gave it back to me with the pee lol and told me to rinse it out at home and use it for the next appointment 😂 I was a little taken back and joked with my husband that the NHS must be really hurting. I know it's my pee, I just had a good laugh because here I was carting my pee pot around in my purse at Morrison's

Sex life after children 🫣

I have a 17 month old and I’m also 19 weeks pregnant after my daughter was born we kind of got our sex life back on track and I was actually starting to enjoy sex and since I’ve been pregnant, it’s been a bit harder not just with me being uncomfortable but with our toddler crying when me and him both go into the same room and she isn’t in that room we’ve tried distracting her with toys food and nothing seems to work we haven’t had sex in about five months to be honest since I found out I was pregnant 😃 and I fear this is gonna take a toll on our relationship because in my first pregnancy, we didn’t have sex for 13 months because it was too painful for me and we argued a lot during this time not because I couldn’t have sex but because we just drifted from each other but I’m also wondering how many times do people like she have sex after children ?
Any advice

Feeling sad - baby friends

I said how I was going to take my little one to a little park nearby at a certain time, as before there had been a nice range of ages playing there. My partner commented that he was sad our 1 year old didn't have any friends to play with. Now our 1 year old has 3 main different friends but can't see them all the time due to the other mum's going back to work and fitting it in. I know I'm not the best socially myself, but I've been really trying. I just don't know what to do. Even when I've spoken to or met people on here, they just stop talking/disappear. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I'm taking them to different baby classes but I feel like everyone knows each other and stays on their pairs or groups, and I feel like an outsider looking in, wishing that was me. Don't really know what I'm expecting from this, just feeling upset as I'm trying my best and just getting nowhere.

Baby daddy no contact and travelling restrictions

Recently found out he’s in a new relationship which is fine but she’s been harrassing me on social media posting about me and my child she’s known to social services. My baby has been in hospital he didn’t show up or ask if she’s okay he acted like he was going to be involved at the beginning to get his last name and on the birth certificate but now ignoring all messages to do with our child and I’ve even tried medication. I’ve heard that apparently I can’t take her away without permission from him but he doesn’t respond to any message or seen baby in weeks. Any advice

Searching for My Mom Tribe

I never thought I’d say this, but I feel like I’m back in elementary school—struggling to make friends.

Since becoming a mom, I’ve slowly lost touch with many of the friends I used to have. Life got busy, priorities changed, and somewhere along the way I realized I don’t really have anyone to talk to or share the ups and downs of motherhood with. Some days it feels pretty lonely.

Are there any mom groups out there, or any moms looking to make genuine friendships? I’d love to connect with people who understand this stage of life. ❤️
