Love after baby
I’m having trouble connecting with my partner after having our baby. He is finding the adjustment very difficult and I feel like I’m walking on eggshells everyday.
we haven’t been intimate in anyway (3months) even though I try to initiate it all the time, I try to kiss him passionately and I get a peck and turns his head away.. I’ve dressed in lingerie, had the baby asleep and nothing.. I’ve sent nsfw photos to him trying to get something and I get nothing. It’s starting to really take a toll on me and my self esteem as I can only take so much rejection… I know relationships are more than sex, I’ve tried to talk to him about how he feels, how I can support him, does he feel like he’s missing something and I get nothing useful in return. I’m just at a loss.
does anyone have advice on bringing the spark back after having a baby and how to support a depressed partner?

I think it is different and that he may feel nervous ........
i have heard that for some men it is a mental block of........ your a MOM now.....
i would think you actions of showing him your ready should be a sign ,,,, and i Know how it feels when you are doing every step you can think of and no reaction..... it is not you...... to try to answer you i read some articles and frankly i can see if he read any why he may want to wait longer most was about sex will be different and be so careful not to hurt your partner etc......
men generally do not have others like friends or their dad that they can discuss their hesitation ..... i think if you are totally upfront that it makes you feel undesirable .......when he seems to have no interest etc... maybe he will open up and have a talk with you.
I'm going through the same thing.. I see your post is from 2y ago.. how are things now?
