Im here for advice
My boyfriend and I have been together for only 1.5 year. We have a 2 month old. I did get pregnant pretty fast and most of our relationship has been me pregnant or with a new baby in the picture. Anyway recently I have really started thinking about our relationship and realized some things. For a little back story I was married before. Him and I split right before Covid happened. I only have 1 child. Well since I’ve been thinking about our relationship I’ve realized we don’t have a relationship really. We basically just co exist with one another which doesn’t feel like I’m even in a relationship. A typical day is him getting home from work, eating lunch, me asking him what he wants to do, which is never really anything, we sort of do our own thing at that point he will usually be on his phone watching a show or videos and me cleaning bottles or doing something with or for the baby. Then we eat dinner I mean tbh, we barely ever sometimes even speak to one another. He gets very quiet and says we don’t always need to be talking which is fine I don’t need to always be talking but like even on his days off I feel like we don’t do much. We don’t get time together as a family. Like I’m supposed to try to figure out what to do this weekend together and tbh I can’t think of much! I think I’m too much for him. I do want to talk a lot about anything and nothing. I want to be touched outside of sex which sex is just him basically sticking it inside me doesn’t try to turn me on foreplay or nothing he just says I should be wet thinking about sex but that’s not how it works for me. I like to be touched no sexually too like I like when he used to touch my back, rub my feet, etc. he doesn’t like that so I know I’m not being selfish. He told me today he can’t do all that lovey dovey affectionate shit all the time. He also said this Idefk man I'm just living and working and helping raise our soon... I've given my whole life to u and it's not even good enough.
I asked him if he was happy and he said most of the time. So then I asked him if he would go to relationship counseling with me so I can better understand. Tbh I feel like a roommate or like a fwb. He says he likes me but idk he wants to be left alone most of the time. Do you think I’m overreacting and this is just how life is with a new baby? Im tired of battling this out in my head. He doesn’t open up to me and tell me what’s on his mind and if I ask he says nothing and everything is fine….someone please help with this so I shut up.
