Dont want to bore everyone with the whole history of my relationship but i just dont know where to turn!!
Have been with Dp for 4 years, have a son who is nearly three. He was a 'happy accident.'
Since DS was born we have only had sex on two occasions. both times it was awful, I really sensed dp was going through the motions. i know he would like me to be slimmer (I am 5 foot and ten stone- bigger than pre preg). Dp has issues about himself in this area which i wont go into but I feel more and more that I want to connect with someone in this way- it is more important to me that i knew before.
Every night we do our 'chores' dp is very particular about the house and spends a lot of time keeping things 'up together'. I am expected to do the same. I also work part time. he expects me to listen to his work troubles but it is ovious he isnt terribly interested in my work. After chores and dinner we usually just watch tv or read, but we dont do anything together.
I could go on and on but dont want to drone on. I just feel so empty, is the rest of my life going to be like this- i feel that we are living seperate lives just in the same house. He is not a bad person, difficult but not bad, and i am not perfect. Our life probably looks rosy from the outside but I know better.
Sorry for the extended moan, just had to vent today as last night was particularly soul destroying. if anyone has any thoughts I would be glad to hear them!
