It does get better

Quote From: ron_amber

We were having sex, that is not the issue... Ron felt that the "flame" wasn't there and it wasn't because of numerous things. One is because I'm a mom and when you become a mom things shift and it's not all about the husband anymore, you make room for the child and then we had 2 more kids. It was hard for me to give attention to 3 kids and Ron because it was like he wanted to be treated like I treated him before kids. It's HARD to balance the married life and children and what is time to yourself??? I don't know what that is anymore LOL.

 

I just want everyone to know that it wasn't because sex was not there because it was...

I wasn't talking about you guys when I posted that. I was talking in general terms.

 

I think it is very natural when your kids are young to have struggles in the areas of romance. It will get better. My husbands and my sex life is much better today now that our kids are almost teens than when they were very young. It is very exhausting being a mom. I can always tell when my husband wants sex because he starts doing more around the house. He knows sex begins in the kitchen. There is nothing sexier than a man doing the dishes or running the vacuum cleaner!!!!

 

I just want you to know that I wish you two the best. Keep healing and keep communicating!

So many people, we women especially it seems, expect marriage to be an extension of the dating life. And, some men expect marriage after children to be an extension of marriage before children. Before your three children, Ron had no one else to share you with. Now, he's got to share you with three people he helped to create. Deal with it, Ron! Amber didn't get pregnant all by herself!
