No sex....

Is there a chance you could have a weekend away just you two? No excuses then…? X
@Charlotte I totally get that and thought I might feel more weird about it than I do. I think I'm craving the intimacy and the sex so not that bothered! We've had sex or at least a fumble before with family in the house. I just want to feel wanted again
@Storme We've never left our little one overnight yet. A night away would be amazing let alone a weekend! I was hoping he might arrange this for my bday which is soon but also not sure any of our family would have baby overnight. Our parents are in their 70s x
Any sisters or brothers close by she has good connection with? We use to do it downstairs once both the kids were in bed🤣 If your parents are asleep and so is baby, put a blanket down on the floor or sofa and good to go, especially at the weekend when he’s not been working. I would sit down with him and express how not having intimacy is effecting you - then say if you are too tired for sex, what about foreplay (which could be pleasuring each other with hands or mouth, or a simple massage) xx
It's not a big deal to have sex with baby in the room, we did. The only reason we stopped not long before she went into her own room was because we worried we'd wake her, so it kinda killed the passion for us a little. He needs to also address why he's so tired!
@Rebecca I agree that it’s not a big deal, but we preferred doing it downstairs because of noise🤣🤣
@Storme His siblings have offered but I'm not sure if they could manage overnight. Little one is teething. One of my sisters would undoubtedly manage for a night, she's about an hr away. We could do a hotel near her I guess. Lol I've done the blanket on the floor a couple of times in my youth so well versed in that haha. I would love a bit of foreplay and I can be quiet when needed! I feel like we both would struggle to resist not having sex after foreplay. Worth a shot though! @Rebecca It's not a big deal to me but it is to him. I think another room or a night away is our best bet. Although frankly I would happily book into a premier inn for an afternoon just to have sex. I've told him it's making me question how he feels and I feel so lonely without the intimacy. I can't be I a relationship with no physical intimacy x
Personally I didn’t want to have sex with baby in the room, and neither did my husband. So we used the spare room, but if you’re living with family I guess that makes it harder to have your own space. So that might be a big part of why he doesn’t want to do it?
