Hey all
First time on here and just looking for some fresh perspectives
I've always been a hypocrite with my own mental health so I decided its time I change that
I'm a father of 2 now and this 2nd one has hit me hard. A few reasons but the main ones being the little man's birth was traumatic and that has had a ripple effect in my home life and marriage. Without going too much into a "woe is me" story. My marriages sex life has been none existent since January and this is obviously noones fault. Illness. Pregnancy and the aftermath of birth has been the reasons and this isn't something anyone can control but my question to you all
How do I rekindle some of that passion back with my wife in the best way possible? I like to think im being as supportive as humanly possible and I am absolutely not expecting her to be ready for physical intimacy for at least a further 8 weeks and that is my battle to deal with (I'm getting mental health support from work don't worry). I was wondering if anyone had any non-physical suggestions? I've tried massaging her feet and doing as many of the nappy changes and other baby duties at night to allow her sleep as much as possible. I do nearly all the cleaning and cooking at the moment just to ensure she can relax and nap.
Our intimacy has been lacking for a considerable time now and it's really getting to me. I don't want to dump too much on her so I feel and hope if I can find some way to be intimate with her again in anyway (regardless of it being physically or not) this might help me aswell
Thanks in advance all and hoping I can become the best father and husband I can be
