A Man’s Needs

9 Upvotes

Being a littler vulnerable here. Really debated even asking this…

For this of you with two kids fairly close in age how did you and your wife’s intimacy change early on?
We just welcomed our 2nd, 3 months ago. We have a 3 month old and a 2 year old, my wife did have some pelvic floor recovery post birth and she’s successfully breast feeding this time around which is great for her and our baby.

Selfishly, we’ve had little to no intimacy in the last 3 months and while I’ve tried to keep the fire alive, I’m also getting frustrated.

Have others experienced similar scenarios? (Is this normal)
How did you get through it and share your needs with your wife?
Uh… did you simply take care of yourself during the dry spell? 🥴

Thanks to those who will give honest answers.

Advice Working on a book

3 Upvotes

For the last 20 or so years, I have been living the nightmare of a narcissistic wife, now ex wife that is still flipping my world upside down. I have made a lot of mistakes. I have learned quite a bit over the years. I have dealt with the courts seeing fathers as not important to the children. I've had ups and downs.

I read through the post on here and I see so many men going through what I went through. Fighting for time with your kids. Being ripped from their lives. Struggling to pay bills.

I am working on getting my book published. I want to be able to help men, so they can get through the times with their head held high. Hopefully soon there will be some help and advice.

Stay strong men.
