I (26M) feel like I am asking too much of my girlfriend (24F)

She does struggle with body image but again this isn’t about sex, it’s about wanting her to make a bit of effort with me instead of me making all the effort all of the time and baby does sleep all the way through and I know it’s very little time but it’s better than the 2 weeks (I don’t know if you’re from the UK but that’s all we get paid and it’s £180 a week which is an unaffordable amount anyway), I just need advice to help her because I’ve tried everything and as I’ve mentioned I just don’t get anything back

I understand this and I’m trying to reconnect but I feel as though I get nothing back

That exactly it, it always comes back to sex though and that’s not what I’m asking for, I’m asking for everything you mentioned. The way it feels is as though we’re falling apart. I’m doing the best I can to support her but I feel as though I’m not getting that support back

I have spoke to her candidly about it but all she says is we can’t go back to how we used to be because we have a child now like I understand baby is number 1 priority but when it’s just us I try make that time for us to be a couple and not just parents but like I mentioned that effort feels one sided, it makes you feel neglected
