[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi this is OP! Thanks very much for the many responses to this thread (except for the really rude ones… no thanks to you). I talked to my husband this morning to try to understand if there’s a reason that he can pinpoint for his major increase in drive since I gave birth and he thinks that it’s because we don’t really get to spend any time together anymore so it’s an easy way to connect. By the way, we don’t live near friends or family since we just relocated, so we are going it completely alone with the twins and kind of drowning, TBH. It’s just unfortunate that my drive is WAY down right as his seems to be WAY up, and that’s actually why I posted—I was wondering if this is a common biological thing on either of our parts and whether I can expect things to calm down (or rev up, as it were haha). I promise that I’m not a dead fish now and he’s not a pervert or anything, we just have mismatched libidos at the moment and I don’t want anyone to feel badly, so I was wondering if this is a short phase or truly something to actively work through. I’ve decided to tackle it as if it’s the latter, but hope it’s the former. I think that there are ways to connect until I’m ready to be intimate more than once a week.

BTW, I’m on maternity leave and my husband works a really demanding job, but we split our leave and in about a month I’ll go back to my own very demanding job and he will care for the twins full-time. I’ve got a hunch that his drive will taper a bit in about a month’s time hahaha.

Again, thanks for the input! [/quote]

Get your iron checked. I had a huge dip in my iron after giving birth and low and behold low iron = low libido. Check your iron.[/quote]
