Changes after marriage

I wonder if anyone who has been through this can offer any advice...
We’ve been married for approx 2 months, have a 1 year old, both work full time.
On the run up to the wedding we were so in love (as we’ve always been) I honestly believed he was my soulmate and I his, but after the wedding everything seems a bit... flat. It’s almost like we’ve both stopped trying. Maybe it’s just because the run up to the wedding is so stressful?? Sex seems meh, we seem to not be as affectionate towards each other either.
I definitely don’t want to split, has anyone been through this?

It might definitely be a feeling of blah after the wedding when life just goes back to normal and nothing exciting is happening?

@CloseYourEyesAndSee yeah I think that’s it. Like we’ve completed life and there’s nothing else 😂

Did you have a big wedding that took a lot of planning? I ask because we just went to the register office with two witnesses and life continued exactly as before. Mind you, we’d also been together for ages, and didn’t expect anything to feel different after we’d married.

I think sometimes people get caught up in the whirlwind of the wedding, they don't always focus on the relationship or any issues that are becoming apparent in the lead up to it.

You've got a young child and both work full time. These aren't easy times for any couple TBH. Cut yourselves some slack

@TorchFire not a massive wedding but lots of stresses with covid etc and changing things.

@Enterifyoudare yeah you’re probably right. We haven’t spent a night alone since our wedding night (no childcare) and our son is going through sleep regression so we’re just exhausted all the time.
