Breaks

I've been with my partner for a couple of years now and since our lo came along. Our time for each other has gotten less and less. Now my partner wants a break and I'm wondering why. We've had a convo and she says that it could be possibly be to do with the contraception that she been on since lo was born and I feel like I don't show my appreciation and love and effect ion to her as much as I should. Is there anyone else that has gone through or going through the same as us. I love my partner to the moon and back and the last thing I want is to loose her. Any help would be much appreciated

Show her you appreciate her but don't let yourself be taken for a mug. Sometimes it's better to let someone go than become a doormat

Relate? Each of you talk it through with counsellor then bring you together

It could well be her contraception. I became a completely different person to the point of being suicidal on the pill. I just wanted to be alone all the time and pushed my partner away. When i came off it the change in me was almost instant. I felt like me again. Would she go to her GP to investigate alternatives?

I don't know I could always put it to her as I want her to be close to me again

I'm not letting myself taken for a mug she still says she loves me but just need a day or two away from me. There is something still there for me and her it's just finding the time again and hope for the best I guess but what's the best way to show her I appreciate her

How old is your lo?

It could just be a simple case of tiredness. She may just want some time to herself to remember who she was before being committed to a family.

Is this something that's come out of the blue for you or have you sensed anything else before she said she wanted a break?

I was on the mini pill and it made me hate my husband!
