No sex drive after a baby

DS has just turned 1 and I feel like I have no sex drive anymore

i want to make more of an effort with my fiancé regarding this side of our life but I’m so tired (DS doesn’t sleep through so still wakes in night) and I get so overwhelmed easily I feel like I do the majority of jobs as my fiancés laid back and ‘will do it later’ so I find half way through the day I’ve probably got wound up with him and then night rolls around and I want to sleep ?

is this normal or is my relationship doomed

Babies and toddlers take up so much of our space and time and we can get touched out so as long as the little one needs all of you it makes sense to not have anything left over at the end of the day

Of course it's entirely normal to not be up for sex when you're the one carrying the mental and physical load. Your partner needs to do more. It's one thing to 'do it later' when it was just the two of you but now with a baby he needs to pull his weight - no wonder you don't feel like having sex with him when he's not being a supportive partner. Time for some serious talks with him about the state of play.
