My beautiful daughter is about four months old, and my beautiful wife unfortunately has postpartum depression. In any given day, she'll probably range from feeling fine to feeling really, really sad. I'm trying to support her any way I can, but it often seems that the only thing I can try to do is listen and try to work with her in all of this. She's seeing a counselor and we are trying to balance the tasks of parenting together. She's nursing our daughter, so there's an inherent imbalance in terms of her being 'on demand' a little differently than I am (and at different hours).
Anyway, along with this, and I don't mean to sound like a selfish prick but I'm just gonna put it out there: in the last four months, her libido – which was already significantly lower than mine to begin with – has plummeted sharply. I don't blame her in the slightest, given what she's going through, and I totally understand that where she's at and where I'm at are necessarily different places right now. I also know that being out of sync for a while is to be expected. But the bottom line is, my needs are not being met right now. I'm lucky if I can talk her into some scattered 2nd or 3rd base action once every other week, and I feel bad for initiating it given what she's going through. Over time, I've come to feel cut-off and pessimistic about our future sexual relationship.
I wanted to see if anyone here is on the other side of this. I'd love to hear from you who've gone through a similar dry spell and can testify that it gets better. Or if you have any suggestions or advice, lemme know.
Thanks, guys. Peace,
honestdaddy
