Vulnerable Post - Lack Of Intimacy in Marriage
Show your support
I’m so sorry you’re going through such a difficult time. It might help to have an open and honest conversation, and if that feels challenging, couple’s counseling could be a great option. You deserve to feel wanted and valued in your relationship, and it’s completely valid to address this now, regardless of your postpartum journey. Wishing you all the best. X
This happened to me because I was a monster post partum. I eventually found myself again after my partner helped me in areas that would relieve that or make me feel better about myself. After I found myself again I felt awful but we really had to “date” each other again. I was a new mom. This was all new to me and it’s scary but I’m okay now. Maybe having an open covmo about where you were and where you are and that you STILL care about HIM too. I literally would push away my partner because I was just sensitive. It did push him away. On our recovery path, I had to put extra effort into being intimate with him again because he was denied by me before and it left him feeling unwanted and unloved. After a couple of times he started to see that I was back to myself and it allowed him to feel seen and heard along with our new twins. I would strive for that especially if he hasn’t given himself away emotionally to another source. I hope everything works out mama ♥️ just give it time
Maybe he could elaborate on what “things” you need to have a proper conversation. Don’t you ever talk about feelings?
