Tonight was the first time I’ve ever broken down in front of my son. He’s about to turn 3 this month… I was putting him to bed, tucking him in - and I’m not sure what came over me but I just started crying.

After my first baby was born in December 2022, I was all about intimacy! We got pregnant again 7 months later. I now have a 5 month old and my sex drive is ZERO! I can’t even kind of convince myself to be in the mood! Any experience with this!? What can I do!? I used to have a great libido!!

I’m having a hard time with pouring into sd . I can easily watch her when she’s over (without her dad) and buy her lunches / hang out with her etc .

So me and my fiancé (aged 24) were sitting on the couch watching a movie with dinner and he randomly says that he misses his grandad who passed away 6 months ago and he's been thinking a lot about him lately.
