Hi everyone
I have an issue we have an 8 week old. Last night my husband and I went on a car ride and we were talking like normal, then it went quiet and I ended up falling asleep.
he said why is it quiet I said sorry I am falling asleep. Then he went oh ok, then he proceeded to say you don’t want fun times later then? I said no I am to tired.
when we got back home he put our son to bed then proceeded to say he is sleeping in spare room as we are not close anymore and he can’t live like this. We only had sex 9 days ago.
then he goes on saying a whole bunch of crap. Then says he hasn’t had fun with himself since last time we had sex. He also he doesn’t get why I am tired as yesterday my parents looked after our son for a. Few hours while I was out with friends and he is at work all day. So I shouldn’t be tired.
i am so wound up as this attitude is not the first time. I feel there is much pressure on our sex life and I am so fed up. He always say it’s always his fault because he finds me too attractive and all he wants to do is be close to me.
I dont know how I feel I need a break what do you all think?

Really? Another chance? How many have you given him?

IME, it never gets better. Only ever gets worse.

Wow what an idiot he is. Does he not know your body is still healing and repairing from growing an actual human and then giving birth to said human, not to mention the constant lack of sleep from feeding and looking after this baby human. His child.

How does he not know why you might be tired? Who's getting up in the night, I'm guessing not him, it does he think the baby just feeds itself?

I'm so so.angry on your behalf. How dare he ask why you are so tired? Even if you had no child and said you were tired, you're tired, end of.

All he can think about is himself.

Agree, only gets worse. Not saying men can't change but they have to have self awareness and humility, and this man child does not have what it takes right now.
Who wants to live like this.

Give him another chance to what? Prove to you for the millionth time that he’s a complete and utter wanker?

Your child is only 8 weeks old !! Either your dh is a self obsessed POS or he needs educating.

It was 5 months after my ds was born before I was up for anything at all.

Perhaps you should show him some of the posts.

Ejs890011 · 17/09/2025 15:37

Well it seems to happen every 3-4 weeks, he has a hissy fit! It used to be every 6 months but since being pregnant. Bear in mind we did IVF for 4 years. I just don’t want to be the cliche that everyone does have a child and then the marriage breaks makes me feel humiliated

OP this is not ok.

You have an 8 week old baby, are exhausted and still healing and no offense sex will be the last thing on your mind. The message he sent is also awful.

He should be helping and supporting you with your newborn, not having hissy fits and demanding sex.

It’s not you that’s the problem here. It’s your creepy sex pest of a husband.

Crikeyalmighty · 20/09/2025 14:48

I do wish blokes who have very young babies and go on about intimacy or closeness would get a grip- literally!!!!! What they mean is how dare you stop being up for sex on demand

User2025meow · 20/09/2025 14:52

He’s a manipulative POS. Plan your escape because this selfish behavior of his will run deep. Prioritize yourself and your baby from this point. Sorry OP, there are just an awful lot of men like this, it seems.

Pollqueen · 20/09/2025 14:52

8 week old baby and he's hounding you for sex and sulking? Massive wanker.

Posts like this make me fucking hate men

kellygoeswest · 22/09/2025 15:31

I just saw your reply... he was throwing things at you? While you were pregnant? I'm so sorry. He's nasty and abusive. I'm sure you've heard many manipulative apologies from him before.
