Pls help as our relationship is falling apart because DH can’t get over watching me having our DS and I can’t see why he is still traumatised by it almost 6 months later?
Since coming home from hospital, he now finds it hard to make love with me and says it’s because of the the pain and whole childbirth process he witnessed. At first I tried to understand and have not initiated any intimacy between us hoping I’m allowing him time to recover. Yet just last night he brings it up again how how troubled he is after watching me have our baby
I got really upset and told him he should grow up because I went through the pain and will not be having another baby if he thinks it’s so terrible he can’t stand it again but yet wants another baby.
Now he accuses me of being unreasonable and not supportive for lashing out.
Has anyone experienced this and how do I get over him feeling this way because I completely think he shouldn’t given that he adores our DS and wants us to have another child?
