Low not high for me
I’ve seen a lot of women feel like their husbands sex drive is super high. I’ve always had the higher drive in my relationship. If your husband is being too rough I’d try to talk to him about that. It can be so hard in the moment to communicate how things are feeling, but it can make a world of difference and I know my body has felt things so differently at each stage. Find what works for you now
Not necessarily, but I feel like mine is lower since having given birth to my first child
I’m a single mom and probably will remain that way. I just have a very low sex drive and no desire to date still 10 months postpartum
Absolutely. I have no drive and it’s tearing my relationship apart. We’re raising 3 all under 5y.o. So of course I don’t want to be touched because I’m being their personal jungle gym all day.

How do you know when to leave your partner?
Im 30 weeks pregnant, long term partner, life was perfect and then overnight he just told me wasnt sure about the relationship anymore
He doesnt want intamacy, loss of attraction has been mentioned
Lots of rows, but its my first and only relationship and I cant seem to see the otherside
Hes providing financially, for the baby and me to and extent, action kinda show he wants to be with my but words dont.
I feel like a host body for his child, he wants and adores the baby and idea of being a father but I am not feeling chosen or wanted
I love him, loved our life, our house we built but im struggling to leave
Cant decide wether to leave now or wait till babies here?
I feel bad for him weirdly that hes going to miss so much of babies life if I leave before she comes, no newborn bubble no taking her home from hospital etc
I am so torn, hormonal and not trusting my own opinions anymore. Its been 10 weeks of hell, teying to work through it and then discovered this weekend no progress has been made in terms of him feeling better and wanting romatic relationship
He wants me to be there for him, he has no family and would be very lonely which I why I cannot see why he wants to throw it all away
I just cant get over being told dont want intamacy with me, im sure he has a hormone imbalance but im worried im pinning to much on that now!
All he says for the future is he wants things to get 'better' he doesnt want to make false promises and cant see passed the current state of arguments and tension etc
We've always our whole relationship discussed and planned the future and now abruptly he cant do it 😭😭😭
So how do you know when to go and say goodbye to your home etc
I would have to move in with my pensioner parents

Condom broke
I’m 11 weeks PP and last night our condom broke 🤦
I’m litterly terrified of being pregnant again at only 11 weeks PP, my last period was the 6th October but then I had to take the morning after pill on the 19th (we where just stupid) and then I started bleeding again on the 25th October, what are the odds I’m ovulating rn?

Contraception
I’m 8w postpartum and have my 8w pp health check this week, I’m assuming they’ll want to discuss contraception.
I’m EBF, my period hasn’t returned yet and I know I might like to have another child within the next 24 months.
It took us 3.5years to conceive our first due to some issues with ovulation so don’t want to leave it too long before trying for the second just in case it takes as long as I’m over 35yo.
I’m not sure what to do with contraception I’m considering to go back on the pill as it’s easier to stop but I’m wondering if starting the pill while EBF will kickstart monthly periods?
I’d also like to hear what everyone would do in this situation and what you are planning on doing?

Do you get more than SMP?
I’ve never worked for a company who offers more, but apparently 74% of employees offer enhanced

Planning my escape
Want to leave my Bd. He’s put me through the upmost hell during my pregnancy. No woman should have to go through what I’ve been going through during their pregnancy. The problem is I’m still dependent on him. Not currently working but working on getting a job and I still have to be around him. I’m trying to stay not emotionally invested but I have to fake the funk until I can eventually leave so he doesn’t think something is up. My baby is due early January but hoping maybe he comes late December. I feel like once he gets here that’s when I can make my move. I think I want a fresh start and to just move to a different state all together.
