Hi Anita

Bless your soul! Thank you. How are you doing?

I think I realized what has been bothering me. I’m finding the difference between how the relationship used to be before the baby and how the relationship is now hard. My husband and I used to be very close but now we just put all of our energy into the baby. It is hard with his work during the week and my studying at the weekend.

It is hard to maybe only have one hug a day and spend our evenings quietly watching tv. He shows that he cares in other ways by helping out and cooking. We are usually intimate once a week, but it has been a busy month. I don’t really know what to talk about these days because my life feels like it is just the baby. The longest interactions we have now are disagreements. Sometimes it feels like they are just longer so we have an excuse to spend time on each other. We need to figure out a healthier way.

I think that we are just finding having a baby hard and having difficulty adjusting especially since we don’t have any support. I miss my husband, even though he is right here. I love him a lot, but I feel lonely. He is my best friend and it feels like we have drifted apart. That hurts.

The baby is doing well by the way and spoiled. He is just going through teething and a sleep disturbance phase.

Love and best wishes! ❤️🙏
