Idk if anyone remembers me but I asked a few nights ago why I’m the only one initiating sex with my husband/explaining I feel rejected. He’s always keen for sex when I initiate, but I have to initiate every time.

Most of you said to talk to him, so I talked to him tonight and he had no response. I said to him “is there anyway I can make it more clear sometimes that I’m keen and I’d like you to initiate?” And he was silent. I said “nothing to say?” He said “no, I don’t know what to say.”

So talking isn’t working. Reddit please I need your help, why isn’t my husband initiating sex? But he’s always keen when I initiate (2-3 times a week). What am I supposed to do now? Be the only one who ever initiates or suffer?

31F, Married for 2 years, been together for 8. Is there any way to get him to initiate? 9/10 times it’s me who initiates and in turn, does all the giving/work. How do I get us out of this cycle? He never technically rejects me, but he rarely initiates which makes me feel unwanted.

I’m not sure if this is the right groups to be asking, but I have a 6 month old baby and the birth was really rough. It was an Induction that ended with an episiotomy and the use of a venteuse. Because of this, I ended up with a prolapse. I’m still struggling to keep back to normalcy at 6 months postpartum. Is there hope for me having a vaginal birth again? Or should I look into a scheduled c-section. I plan on having my second once my first is 3 or 4 years old.

31F, Married & been with husband for 8 years. The sex is good and I often climax from penetration (1/3 of the time). However, I still feel the need to also get a climax from my clitoris after sex. Is this common? The orgasm from penetration feels different from my clitoral orgasm and I always feel like I need both.

We have a 6 month old baby. Tonight the baby was acting unusually strange he started screaming when my husband tried to feed him. I told my husband, he only had a full bottle an hour ago so he’s probably not hungry (he wouldn’t listen and tried anyway and it annoyed the baby). He then started making the baby a bottle of milk because he wouldn’t eat the purée. I said again, he had a bottle an hour ago, he’s not hungry. Husband tried to feed him the milk anyway and baby started screaming at the top of his lungs.

Husband started getting visibly angry, swearing in frustration and handling the baby quite rough. Not ever enough to hurt the baby, but not being very gentle and clearing becoming frustrated. I said “here pass him to me” and popped my arms out to comfort baby and give him a break. He yelled at me “Go away” and walked away with our baby. This triggered a strong maternal instinct in me, hearing my baby crying and not being able to hold him. I couldn’t control my emotions and just burst into tears. I put my dinner in the fridge, left the room and have gone to bed in the spare room as I don’t want to be near my husband. I feel such a strong anger at the fact he would not let me help in any way, or even hold the baby. I felt completely helpless.

This is a build up of lots of sleep deprivation from both of us, and lots of small arguments over the past few months. I just feel so angry at him for withholding the baby while in such an angry state. I feel that as a couple we really need to take a break from each other, but I’m not sure how this will work with the baby. My mother lives a 45 minute drive away, and I’m always welcome to stay at hers, but I know my husband would not let me take the baby with me. He works from home so we are both home during the day and I think we’ve had enough of each other. I don’t know what to do or how to get away from him for a few days to get some space. Any advice from seasoned parents, or just seasoned couples in general would be greatly appreciated.
