Hi everyone,
I have just read few threads and it seems some good advices going on here.I would appreciate one for me as well all of you lovely people.
Normally men complain about women not wanting to have sex with them after babies but in this case it is the other way around.I used to be really concerned when our baby was small and used to bring this issue a lot and talk about it.But over the time,I feel so rejected with no effort on my partner's side that I am feeling very resentful towards him and stopped initiating anything as I don't want to get hurt.To be honest we haven't even kissed properly over this 2 years.
He keeps saying we have a small baby and I know where he comes from- my son can be pretty demanding.I am still breastfeeding him and when he was smaller he used to share a bed with us but I have tried making effort of putting him to bed,so we do get "alone" time in the bed together but nothing happens.I am the one who wakes up in the night for my son anyway,so I should be the one complaining of tiredness etc.
I feel we have drifted so apart and I used to tell him when I was pregnant,we mustn't become "one of those couples who don't have sex after children".And now it has happened.To be honest I don't think it is normal,but looking back he was never the one to initiate sex in the first place.
He is a good looking guy and always enjoyed the attention of women before and according to him he was always pursued(well to the contrary that didn't happen with me).I have tried initially but longer it gets,I am more down and to be honest this whole situation does have an effect on the arguments in the house and how we treat each other(he doesn't think so).I am 30 but can't imagine how I can live my life without passion.intimacy etc.Our son give us so much happiness but our reliatonship is going downhill.
We do spend a lot of time together as a family and both of us hardly go out but can't seem to think it is not a quality time.
