[quote=Anonymous]OP, I get it.  I have two kids 2 and 4 and also gained a lot of weight during pregnancy.  I'm now in good shape but it took me deciding enough was enough.  My husband and I DID have regular (1-2x a week sex starting a few months postpartum with each kid).

You're wrong that this is what having kids does to your relationship.  I'm sure my DH would be shocked at me saying this since he says I never initiate sex - but it's really important in a relationship.  I'm not saying 3x a day - I'm saying taking time to reconnect physically.  Not everyone who has young kids never has sex.  That's just not true.

Have you openly told her how you feel, leaving the weight out of it?  Telling her that it's affecting your relationship, you feel rejected and disconnected, etc?  I know if my husband said that to me, whether or not I was self conscious about my body, I'd make an effort to change things.

We usually have sex right after the kids go to bed (about 8pm) because of the reasons you've said.  If someone is self conscious about their body, daytime sex may not be ideal..[/quote]
