Hi I've been with my partner for 3 years now, I've just had a baby over a month ago and have been struggling all of a sudden my mind keeps going to certain things in the past with my partner like before he left for work we would kiss and he would always make a point that it turns him on or not wanting to leave now nothing really I have spoken to him and I've had it where he says work is making him tired so he doesn't always pay attention now with the baby nothing is happening ive dropped hint even said I'm ready for it but still nothing I'm not feeling attractive or wanted but I keep feeling so angry at him for alot of thing in the past ive let go but now I can't get out of my head and I have said anything because its unfair on him but every time I have tried to start talking I can feel the emotional build up and anger

Hi I'm going through the exact same my partner hasn't came near me and when he did I was pregnant and it felt awkward. I am now 2 weeks postnatal and have never felt so alone. My partner did say when I was pregnant he was scared incase he hurt me but I felt like that was just an excuse sometimes a hug and to be asked if everything is ok helps but when u dont get that u feel alone. I hope things change for u try and tell him how u are feeling go do it over coffee where u cant really get so angry because u are in public I hope things look up for u as it's horrible feeling so unwanted.
