Your own, or the one in your your relationship. I feel like it's taken mine away. Not that I'm unhappy, because I've got my beautiful child, but I feel very different. Less sexy, less confident about womanliness, (is that even a word?), less alluring, somehow.
Sat looking at my OH, gently farting away on the sofa, who will at some stage fall asleep watching TV, I think who are we? I don't blame him, because part of the comfort of a longterm relationship is familiarity, but it is mundane isn't it? I've got La Perla underwear that I couldn't even get a leg into anymore sitting forlornly in my drawer and I'd feel ridiculous even wearing these days, (what with the mashed banana in my hair). And I haven't got the energy with small child, full time job, blah, blah, blah to do much about it, and I don't know what I'd do anyway. I'm rambling, so I'lll stop and wonder if anyone else felt anything like this, and if so, does it get better?
