My relationship needs fixing after DC2. Please help :(

[ElBombero]

Don't know where to start, my relationship seems non existent after DS was born 5 months ago. We already have a DD and it was nothing like this when she was born.

We don't touch eachother, cuddle, hold, hug, kiss and not had sex since DS was conceived in Dec 2012 :( and we seem to have stopped communicating to any deeper level other than everyday things.

Really do feel like we are just parents living together. I'm so miserable, he thinks it's normal. I need my intimacy & affection back.

It's to the point now I don't feel like I can make the move as I'm scared I'll be rejected.

Feel invisible to hun a lot of the times, he comes in the house after work, showers the kids with affection and I'm lucky if I get a hello never mind an enquiry about our day.

Just to put another spin on it my youngest had the terrible twos from 18 months to 3 years old. Our harmonious home became a nightmare. I'm just saying not to think it will be better when x y or z happens. Be honest with your dh about how you feel and what you need. If you let little things like this drift they can become bigger and more difficult to overcome. Good luck again with your talk.

El - when the dc are in bed, how about a 'powercut'? Flick the switch in the fuse board. Light candles. No TV, No MN. (I realise this means getting the dc into bed first...!) You have to talk.

Congrats on the slim jeans,BTW!
