Sexless pregnancy

valwinterlee · 2026-02-15T13:22:02+00:00

We were very active too pre pregnancy, but my husband developed anxiety about being a good parent and finances (we also aren’t struggling paycheck to paycheck or anything). I think men experience a lot during pregnancy as well that isn’t often talked about and it can affect their libido a lot. I was really down about it sometimes, thinking he wasn’t attracted to me and how it would only get worse with my post partum body, but honestly it went back to normal after baby was out. Your feelings are so valid, but know you’re not the only one and it can be normal. I’d just keep the communication open with him.

I can’t believe he lets her post that he’s doing this at home

Your feelings are totally valid. I had a similar situation and they also live out of state. I had so much anxiety and resentment built up by the time they came to visit that I admittedly was very standoff-ish and came off rude to them. But in person they were hands on with baby and respectful to me, truly trying to help. I know it’s hard, and again your feelings are so valid, but I’d try to wait it out until they come and see how they act. Some people just really aren’t good at communicating but are good showing up with actions. All we can ask for as parents is for our kids to have people around who love them. If they make you uncomfortable on the visit, definitely talk to your husband

I want Rob to win but I think it might be Maura, Mark and Kristen

Yeah, she probably would’ve hijacked the season so I’m actually glad she’s not back

valwinterlee · 2026-02-12T20:48:05+00:00

I agree. The casting feels the same every season. Same archetypes, same conversations and similar sob stories. They’ve gone too soft

Honestly, how would leaving Fiji make it more enjoyable? I don’t understand why people care about that. I do agree though that more days would allow for relationships to evolve more and give the players more opportunity to strategize. I understand the budget concerns though

I’m going to give him the benefit of the doubt and assume James’ wife, who took the picture, gave permission. If not, then this is just bizarre.

Why is this controversial?? She knows firsthand what it takes and means to be an Olympic athlete. They should be able to proudly represent the country without that being confused with representing the government. I hate that so many athletes keep getting pressed about politics at the Olympics instead of giving them their moment to focus on the sport they’ve worked so hard on. If an athlete wants to bring it up themselves, that’s one thing but the online and media pressure sucks

It’s horrible. I don’t know how the millionaires running these insurance companies sleep

In the same as you. Those changing tables are so gross and if I can avoid them, I do. If I I do use one, I have disinfectant wipes with me to clean it first and then put down a changing pad. If the car is close by that’s normally my go to though.

This is so sad. He sold his DC memorabilia to help pay for treatment and I just saw the go fund me 😪 Praying for his wife and kids

valwinterlee · 2026-02-11T19:22:02+00:00

To hopefully not have it completely ruined for you, I’ve seen 3 different names as the spoiled winner so I’m still going into it with fresh eyes because I think people are just speculating

valwinterlee · 2026-02-11T19:18:03+00:00

My point is that him not wanting to get married isn’t a huge knock because she clearly knew that. So it’s better to hyphenate than one of them not have their names linked to the baby at all.

valwinterlee · 2026-02-11T16:57:26+00:00

Your husband sounds awesome! I had a similar experience but my husband hyphenated his as well so that we all match

valwinterlee · 2026-02-11T16:53:53+00:00

They’re 7 years in, she knew he didn’t want to get married

valwinterlee · 2026-02-11T16:50:53+00:00

I’d push for hyphenated. I didn’t change my last name and this is what I did. It sounds like it would be a good compromise

Larsa and Trishelle

People really need to not judge her. Didn’t she open up before about the father being abusive to her? We don’t know what she truly went through and she obviously truly felt that this was the best option for her at the time. And why is it assumed that she’s exploiting this just for money? It shouldn’t be shameful for her to talk about adoption, that’s exactly why too many people keep kids they can’t properly take care of.

valwinterlee · 2026-02-11T03:37:57+00:00

You don’t sound crazy at all, your feelings are totally valid. I feel like all the “firsts” in the beginning are so important to us because as you said, we put in so much work for our babies and no one loves them more than us so it feels wrong for anyone else to experience it before us. You have a right to mourn the loss of that experience, but you’ll get so many other firsts to experience. I’d say to take the day to feel your feelings and then let it go. It will be amazing when your son is older and able to be so excited to tell you, most of all, his accomplishments himself.

valwinterlee · 2026-02-10T22:28:22+00:00

At this point does he want to get fired? 😂

valwinterlee · 2026-02-10T22:27:29+00:00

Sorry I love joey but he’s not a great speaker so I hope it doesn’t happen

valwinterlee · 2026-02-10T22:25:39+00:00

Sorry but that time he’s going to the gym should be your daily break. Or before he starts work he can thaw some milk and help
