You need to make a date night regardless of th money situation. Prepare dinner ahead of time, gt a sitter, and go somewhere. Park ir if its cold eat in the car somewhere pretty and TALK. Also, maybe play a game together after you put the kiddo to bed. Make it a game that each of you have to do something special for the other once a week. Be creative on this :)
Quoting LadyBugMom09:
You need to make time to be alone together. If you can't afford a date, go for a walk in a nice park, rent a dollar movie from red box and get a cheap bottle of champagne or a nice dessert, play a game together like the PP said. You need to put your parents hat away and put on your lovers hat. You have to make the time and effort. And DONT talk about the baby.... :)
What these ladies said! Make a point to give him a hug and a kiss when you see each other. Make advances at him. Leave little notes around the house for him to see. Sexy note or just to say I love you! After baby is in bed, hold each other close and watch a movie, or just talk about your day. It takes action. Its hard when you live a fast and tired life. It goes by fast then you look back and its gone. You wonder why you are wehre you are at. Make every day a little bit of love showing. I had to do that. Just stop and smell the air outside and look at the sky, look at the flowers and trees. Do that with hubby! :)
Text him during the day,something sexy,make absolutely sure you have alone time to talk and be silly,get a sitter and spend some time doing something free,like a picnic,or a hike.
You're both exhausted. I know some people love that stage from 15 months-3 and a half years, but I HATED it. It's just exhausting. Give it time, it will get better.
also I was diagnosed with depression after I had my son. And some days I'm son in love with my bf and other days I don't want anything to do with him. I feel horrible that I get this way.
not sure why it is bothering me but
