Hi everyone,
I could really use some advice. My son just turned one, and since he’s been sleeping in his own room, I thought my husband and I might have more time for intimacy. However, it’s been tough for the last 18 months with pregnancy, breastfeeding, and everything else. My husband is a wonderful partner, really lively and loving, but lately, he’s been so busy with work. It feels like he’s lost interest in me physically. He still shows love in the ways he used to, just not physically like before we had our baby.
I’ve tried initiating a few times, but he hasn’t been responsive and makes excuses. We’ve talked about it a couple of times, but he doesn’t say much, just that he’s really tired after work and needs to sleep. He usually comes home, drinks a couple of beers, spends about an hour on his phone, and then goes to sleep.
I’m not sure what to do or who to talk to. If I don’t know what the issue is, how can I solve it? And he’s not opening up about it. Any advice on how to handle this or start a conversation that might lead to some answers?
Thanks so much for listening.
