Advice:
Is this normal?

I have been in a relationship for a little over a year. I became pregnant soon after our relationship began. Prior to the pregnancy my partner and I had a healthy sexual lifestyle (obviously). When the pregnancy progressed he lost interest which didn't really surprise me, and I had also so no problem. The problem is he has never regained interest. My baby is 7 months old. I look back to normal. what happened? he says sex is not that important to him and that he is interested but that we just don't have time.??? also we don't live together i have an 8 year old and am taking the living together slow b/c of that...so he is home alone at night alot which makes me insecure and wondering if he is getting his needs met elsewhere or if he is being truthful?

" Depends ................ you've mentioned having another child of your own, but does he also have kids from a previous relationship to take care of?
Or it could be that he's one of those very career-driven types who just prefers to spend evenings alone resting and unwinding. Is he taking on extra work in order to provide financial support for the baby?

My point is that there might be something he's not telling you; or there could be some perfectly legit reasons why he's more tired and less interested in sex. "

" no he only has an adult child who doesn't live with him, he has no job, no income (thats a whole other post). He goes to school full time and is 46 years old (10 years older than me- if that has anything to do with it? he spends his free time watching TV. "

" some people have a hard time finding sexual arousal from their female partner after sex. this is due to the switching roles you have gone through. you are no longer the independent sex giver, you are the mother, the life giver, the poop cleaner, the bottle maker, and these roles are definitely unsexy, things will eventually work themselves out, and if not, then you need to sex-ify your self up and make him horny again "

" As I have been finding out, sex is individualized. Myself we had sex to within 2 weeks of delivery for every child. I saw her a very sexy woman and i've had other men tell me that they felt the same way with their wives. I think he needs to be with you instead of staying at home watching TV. If for no other reason you should at least talk. I didn't and that is one of the biggest reasons I cheated, We did not know what the others needs were. Now we are trying to rebuild and communication is very key. If you love him don't let him vegetate. Age should not matter, my son-in-law is 9 yrs older than my daughter and she loves him very much.
