Exhaustion by Dr. Dae

Wednesday, June 02, 2010

Too many Moms suffer in sexual silence!  Are you missing that pre-baby connection you once had with your partner?  Are you both too stressed out (and taking it out on each other) to even think about making IT happen?  With all of the distractions in our busy lives, how can we get back to enjoying one another?


The top two reasons for divorce in this country are money and SEX... and I’m no Accountant!  So let's start up a dialogue which reduces all of that stigma and embarrassment over normal, natural, beautiful, wonderful, healthy, happy, super-fun SEX.
Don't be shy about asking questions or adding comments! It's ok, I know you're just asking for a "friend" anyway. ;o)

Dr. Dae, I know it's a good idea to have a night planned for just mommy and daddy but I resent the fact that I'm the one that has to plan it - not my husband. He has no problem planning a golf outing or a card night with friends so why is it so difficult for him to take control and make the plans? Thank you.

Good for you for pursuing the elusive DATE NIGHT! In my article I encourage you to ASK to get your needs met. Instead of simply hoping and being disappointed time and time again (which eventually leads to the resentment you mentioned).

He may be accustomed to you making the plans around the house, he may think you don't mind or he just may not have thought of it himself. Barring any other conflicts, let your husband know how much you'd like a "throwback date". One where chivalry abounds, HE takes the reigns and you get swept off your feet. Set a timeline so you can arrange for the kiddos to be taken care of (and so he knows you're serious).

Share with him that you are eagerly anticipating some time alone and reinforce his efforts with a playful phone call, e-mail or text. Don't be shy about letting him know that you appreciate his taking the initiative and that he just may get lucky as a result!
