Need advice

My fiance and I have been together since we were 16, so 9 years this year. Our daughter is now 3 and for some reason ever since having her I have no sex drive. I still love my fiancé but I never want to have sex. I do it for him because he wants to but I could go months without it. Before having her I was never like this but now I could care less about it. I still love him but I just do not want to have sex anymore at all. What do I do?

You’re probably stressed with being a mommy, being a fiancé and working. It is completely normal for a lot of women. Take a moment to yourself. It’ll come back

Tbh I think that’s just the effects of being together for a while and pregnancy. My husband and I have known each other for 10 years been together for 5 plus dating and being bff’s once in high school. We have two toddlers. I have no sex drive most of the time during & after pregnancy. I sat him down and explained it to him. He was okay with it, but I felt guilty eventually I accepted it’s okay to not be as sexually active anymore. My husband and I have sex once a week maybe twice if we’re really feeling it and aren’t too tired or have time. We love each other whole-heartedly but also understand sex just isn’t a big part of our life anymore especially as we get older. My advice is that you could have a conversation with him explaining how you feel and how he feels, try to spice your sex life up in the bedroom with new “things”, take some time to find yourself outside being a mom/fiancé. But you’re not alone in this struggle, I thinks it’s something everyone goes through.

Lost friends since being a mum

Good morning! Can anyone relate to this!

My two friends and me have always been close since our early teens. I’m the first to have a baby.

One friend has big house, career and boyfriend

Other out of a long term relationship and being single having fun etc

Before baby we would all hang at my
Apartment, chat eat and just have
Fun.

Now I don’t even get a text to ask how my baby is, how I am. I really thought they would be awesome aunties. But honestly they don’t care.

They meet up a lot to do cool things, which I can’t be upset about as I can’t as I have my baby.

I don’t know I feel sad about it.

Am I over reacting?

31 weeks pregnant and lonely

How to deal with loneliness in pregnancy when your boyfriend goes out with his friends drinking 😅🥲 I only have three friends, two are never really free and one lives back in Liverpool and has her own set of friends where she goes to raves and goes on holiday with them lol. My boyfriend is going out soon for the night as it’s sunny and I’ll just be sat here crying like every single time! When does it stop 🤣

Has anyone else had issues with their friends that aren't pregnant or have kids?

I have a friend at work and we've become really close over the years. But ever since I become pregnant she just doesn't understand anything I'm going through which is fine except for the fact that the past few days I have been exhausted physically and socially. We have been helping another friend out for about a month now and we've had to keep him entertained as he's going through a rough time right now and it's drained me socially . my friend at work is frustrated because I'm not talking a lot and I'm exhausted and she doesn't understand why and I'm just curious if anybody else has had issues with friends that are not going to the same thing or have gone through the same thing as you connecting with you because she's literally mad at me. She stopped talking to me at work today and I just don't understand what to do.

Loosing connection

I’m currently 28 weeks pregnant and my partner can’t and hasn’t come anywhere near me sexually for about 12 weeks or so now. We tried but he got put off saying he was worried he was hurting the baby. I’ve spoken to him about this trying to tell him he can’t and he’s no where near, I’ve sent him email links I’ve had through on newsletters. My libido is through the roof and I’m worried we will drift apart if we don’t have aex again soon.
