Hi OP, sorry to hear you're feeling that way!

Having a newborn is really tough on both of you and it can be tough on the relationship! I think it's easy for us new mums (I also have a 6 week old) to get so wrapped up in baby life that we often forget that it's a huge change for our partners too!
I agree if he's being moody because he's finding having a baby stressful, he shouldn't take it out on you.
My only advice is sit him down and ask how he is coping and see if there is anything you can both do to make life easier/ less stressful for the other? Maybe remind him that you are a team and you can work through the stressful times together.

Parenthood can be lonely so maybe he's feeling the same way that you are. Sit down and have a chat with him x

So I have been with my bf just over 2 years. We don't live together. We are amazing and he treats me well. We don't really have much of a sex life maybe 1-2 times every month which was a problem for me at first but we have discussed this and he says he has a low sex drive and not really confident with his body. I am fine with this now and we always kiss and cuddle in bed. He's recently admitted to me that he wanks over porn when he's at home. I don't know how to feel about this? I feel upset cos we don't have much sex but am I overthinking things?? Do guys wank when on their own when they have a gf? I'm confused. Please help me x
