My partner and I moved in together, along with my 5 year old dd, a few weeks ago after being with each other for almost a year and a half.

Over the past month or so, our amazing sex life has dwindled down in frequency due to a number of issues where life has just been crazy busy!

This week, we have had a few bickers mainly down to adjusting to living with each other - she has always lived on her own and never before been anywhere close to moving a partner in. We have been madly in love since the day we met, it has been like a dream relationship yet over the past week or so life and every day stresses have kind of taken over the honeymoon period. We have both said that we the lack of time spent together this week has caused us both to feel frustrated. J

Anyway, tonight she has returned from a work Christmas party after drinking from before lunch and has fallen asleep after a quick chat for 5 minutes. I suppose I miss the days when she would have jumped on me the moment she walked in. This is my problem isn’t it?

Did you post about this a couple of weeks ago? If so I think the advice was things are bound to change when you start living together and it’ll be a huge adjustment for your partner who hasn’t done it before, coupled with now also living with a child.

I don’t think crashing out after a long day and a few drinks is bad, she was tired. And the frequency couples have sex can change after a while.

You need to keep talking and make sure you’re both being open and honest. Also remember if you’re not happy you’re not stuck forever. But equally it’s early days of the new normal and you all 3 need time to find your rhythm.
