New Mom vs. Touchy Husband
Our new mom is struggling with her husband’s constant need for intimacy after giving birth to their baby. With a 3-month-old, she’s exhausted and has no interest in sex, but her husband doesn’t seem to understand. He continues to make advances at the worst times, like right after she’s put the baby to sleep or taken a rare shower. She’s told him to back off, but he keeps pushing. She even experiences vivid dreams of being pregnant every time they have sex, adding to her stress. Despite her husband’s apologies, he still can’t keep his hands off her. Her friend thinks she’s in the wrong, but what do you think? Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…
