[quote=Anonymous]One year out is still early days. It might come back when the youngest gets earlier. Main goal during the infant and toddler years is to limit the damage. There will be hurt feelings and damaged egos.

Beyond that: 
1) Watch the birth control. My wife & I found out that Mirena was doing a real number on her libido.

2) Try to keep the parenting from being all-consuming. You're a woman and he's a man. Try to keep acting like it. Try not to be a frumpy housewife. He should try not to be a beaten down husband.

3) If you talk about your sex drive being low; you can offer theories about why that is, but be real honest about the fact that you don't know. Because if (for example) you say it's because you're tired, and he takes over the workload and lets you sleep, and you're still not interested, he's going to feel like a chump.

4) He needs to keep initiating, allow you to feel free to decline, and not whine or let it get to him too much when you decline. On the other hand, if you're even a little into it -- try to be enthusiastic when you do accept the initiation. That will go a long way toward softening the blows when you decline.

Good luck. [/quote]
