Did you fall out of love a little after baby

[Welcom2me]

DS nearly 1 and. I wonder if I’ll ever look at my boyfriend the same

is it normal to feel this way after a baby like I see him differently. I’m sure he sees me differently

i only get a few bursts of “I love him” as opposed to what I used to

We haven’t had sex in a while either because I had to get an abortion then I got my period and we wanted to wait to start proper contraception so I just feel like that sparks a bit eh at the minute

its hard to want to as well when DS has had a bug so been up a lot

I didn’t and I’m sorry you’re feeling this way. Is it a response to how he’s been as a parent for the last year?

@AnneLovesGilbert To be honest I think this could be part of it

He definitely slacked early on and I have a lot of resentment about it. About how I felt so alone when I wasn’t a single parent

how I started seeing me and my baby as a team

He’s better now but I still have resentment from early on

Not sure if I'd say that but we def aren't as Lovey dovey. We just shattered all the time. I'd say after second more so we just don't get any time to ourselves never mind for each other. Ours are 3 and 5.

To be honest, watching my DH being a dad was like falling in love with him all over again. He's above and beyond a good parent and a brilliant partner, I've never felt so supported. And his bond with our daughters is the most beautiful thing. Sex life and time together definitely took a hit, but the love definitely didn't.

Yeah, unfortunately I think he’s quite selfish and lazy in a way that probably never bothers me before because perhaps I was too pre-baby. I hope I can get the feeling back but I will wither have to lower my expectations or he will have to pull his bloody finger out. He still wants to be intimate obviously but I rarely feel like going there.
