Dear Therapist,

My spouce and I have already been hitched for 36 months. It absolutely was such as for instance a whirlwind of love once we first met, and now we couldn’t keep our fingers off one another. We relocated in together after simply 6 months and had been involved after one 12 months to be together. We got hitched couple of years later on and I also got expecting immediately after.

Our intercourse had been constantly good before i obtained expecting. When our infant came to be, my better half had depression that is postnatal I experienced to help keep every thing together. I happened to be finding it hard inside, but simply had to work strong for the each of us. That actually placed a stress on our wedding.

Our baby that is beautiful boy now 15 months old and now we do not have sex. Our son has simply started initially to rest in the evening, and I also think we now have gotten very much accustomed to taking good care of our son during the night rather than sex that now it seems therefore embarrassing.
