[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm shocked. Am I the only female that couldn't, and didn't, wait the standard 6 weeks to have sex? [/quote]

I waited exactly the 6 weeks, after I got clearance from my doctor.  I don't get all these wives who selfishly bail on the marriage once they have a kid. [/quote]

Bc oftentimes it isn't for selfish reasons. It's hormones, it's feeling touched-out having a baby on you (and your boob) all day, it's being exhausted, it's having a birth-related injury that needs to heal, it's feeling self-conscious from the body changes of pregnancy and childbirth, it's &lt;gasp&gt; other women having many experiences that differ from your own that also feel equally valid. Congrats on wanting to get right back to it -- glad that happened for you -- but don't knock other women by calling them selfish bc they have a harder road returning to their former drive. [/quote]

Everything's not all about you though, or the baby. You forget about the husband at your own peril. Look at that baby and think: Do I want to raise him in a broken home? Eventually men who don't have sex in their marriage leave it. [/quote]

Fortunately, I didn't marry a dirtbag, and the year or so postpartum doesn't equate to a sexless marriage forever. We made a decision to have a child together and he got it that I went through physical, hormonal and emotional changes he would never have to experience in order for us to build our family. We got back to it, eventually, but not bc I felt pressured or fearful that my husband would stray. I'm sorry if you didn't have/ offer the same support in your relationship. [/quote]

And my husband does not cheat. To other posters--don't assume all men have sky-high sex drives can can't wait to have sex again even if it is months and months. [/quote]
