Intimacy

I was diagnosed with postpartum depression and anxiety, and am now 5 months postpartum. I have recently become intimate with my husband again but only occasionally and not as frequently as before. My husband is still so offended that I don’t have sex with him as often as before and constantly tells me about it despite the fact he knows I’m struggling mentally and physically. I’m so frustrated because I am trying to make the first move more but I can’t help it that I’m not where I was sexually pre-baby!!! I’m so frustrated. He says mean comments about it that makes me feel even worse. I’m at the point now where I want him to cheat on me so he stops pressuring me to have sex. I just needed to vent. I’m so upset. His comments are so hurtful and he doesn’t see that I am trying.

Doesn't sound like a good partner to me

I am so sorry that is happening. I know how you feel. I had postpartum anxiety and depression with my first and my husband and I hardly had sex because I was just not feeling it so much. You want to be into it but it’s hard to be. I didn’t get my drive back so much and got pregnant with my second. I’m now 4.5 months postpartum and not feeling the postpartum anxiety and depression this time. However I am still having a low sec drive. Apparently it is normal to feel that way. Have you spoken with him about how you feel and that he is hurting your feelings?

As the higher drive indovidual in the relationship let me tell you that your feelings are valid. What he's doing is weaponizing sex to hurt/harm your relationship. If he has needs he has a hand. There's never any reason to make hurtful comments to your partner to coerce them into sex. Coercion is not consent it's sexual assault.

Grrr! Why do men do this? Of course it's not gonna be the same. When you have a baby you end up Either you got a belly that smiles at you or spaghetti f***y Your boobs are like bags of marbles and you're tired and they're attached like a leech trying to get their way 😕👎 i would say "you've got two hands - pick one!" Sounds like a right n**head

Dump his ass boo, you deserve sm better
