Back in the saddle

TheTamedShrew · November 2013

So, it's been 4-5 months, how often do you get intimate with your SO?

TheTamedShrew · November 2013

Sorry, that should read I'D rather sleep, not IS rather sleep. it's hard to proof read polls.

JANCANDANCE · November 2013

Before the "fuckery" 4-5 times a week but none since then.

WasNotWas · November 2013

ask me again after this weekend!!

GingerBabyTX · November 2013

It's getting better. I'm hoping to answer 2-3 times a week soon. I need to get better at initiating. My husband is a saint.

2-3 times a week.

HeartLikeMine3 · November 2013

It's been once a week for us. It used to be 2-3x per week before LO. I'm sure we will become more regular when DH and I are sleeping in the same bed again and LO is in his crib.

I'm around once every 3-4 weeks. I have no desire to have sex. I wish I did b/c it feels great (giving birth has made my vagina super sensitive but in a good way).

And of course now I'm scared that the one time we do have sex I will end up KTFU

I thought this said "back in the swaddle". I started reading the poll options and was like, waaaaait...lol

riansmommie · November 2013

2-3 times here, minus the lube though

I am one of those who is not back in the saddle yet. DH works graveyard shift right now and we only see each other for like 3 hours a day during the week. I am exhausted all the time and have no desire to do it. DD sleeps in our room and our bed is super creaky so we would have to go to another room. It just seems more hassle than it's worth. My husband isn't thrilled by any means and he makes comments about it every day but I'm thankful that he has enough respect for me to not be a total a** about it.

LiLi23 · November 2013

@VASC I'm one of them. With two kids, one of which rebels sleep, we're both absolutely exhausted by day's end that we both pretty much crawl into bed and collapse in hopes of getting at least two hours before we're back up again. We also just bought a house, moved and are currently renovating. There literally aren't enough hours in the day. And quite honestly, if there were, we'd both rather take a nap right now.

We'll get there. This is longer than when DD was a baby, but things are a lot more hectic now. We're hoping to have a date night soon, though. We spent last Saturday alone, but it was to clean up our house. Which sounds ridiculous, except you could barely walk there was so much stuff all over from moving. He (and I) completely understand.

Also haven't had sex. Tried but it was so painful. That and he got hit by a car... He doesn't like me to be in pain so he deals? I don't get that comment.

CindyRelluh · November 2013

Hubbies have needs too, which is I'm sure what that comment means.

DH and I do it once or twice a week, but now that I'm a SAHM, it'll be more. Especially once my parents move down here... My babysitters.

mamainVA2013 · November 2013

I want to get to the point where we are at least 2-3 times per week. Our schedules don't always line up the best, but we could definitely do better. I am definitely exhausted all the time, and DH has been great at not making me feel bad. We discussed that we really need a date night soon to reconnect. My goal now is to initiate tonight!

ameh13 · November 2013

Once a week here. With two kids, I really can't complain. It'd be nice to up it to twice a week when we get some energy back.

WasNotWas · November 2013

Even pre-kids we didn't do it more than once a week. Hats off to you ladies!

WasNotWas · November 2013

or should I say...pants off

TheTamedShrew · November 2013

I am not like any of you. I am in the "once a month" group. I want it 1-3 times a week, but DH has zero sex drive lately. It sucks.

CindyRelluh · November 2013

@jo27key I'm a bit jelly. DH loves him some pants off dance off.

TheTamedShrew · November 2013

Tell your husbands to mail mine some of their libido.

That sounds gross.

CindyRelluh · November 2013

But it's funny to picture, amirite?!

needanustart · November 2013

I've always been lucky that DH and I have about the same drive, which leads to naked time 3-4x a week. I tore really badly and took a while to heal but I am so relieved everything is back to normal again down there. Even if I'm tired I can usually stay up for 15 or so more minutes because when I get mine I always sleep really well after! Who needs ambien?
