You want to connect with your partner, but since having kids, everything has changed. What’s a higher-desire partner to do?
years from the side of the lower-desire partner. This time around, I’m going to discuss this with the higher-desired partner in mind.
Being a higher-desire partner isn’t easy! It can involve a lot of rejection. You might feel stuck, powerless, or trapped. You might be wondering if your relationship will ever be the same, or worrying that your partner isn’t attracted to you in the same way they used to be before kids entered the picture.
On top of that, all of a sudden you’ve got a lot more stress with all the new challenges of parenting, and a lot less sex. If sex helps you unwind, this is a difficult equation to balance. And if sex is a way you love to connect with your partner, you might be feeling less connected, too. It’s painful, and it’s tough — but there’s good news, too. First of all, you and your partner are adjusting to a whole new world. It’s very understandable that, with less time and more on your plate, it’s hard to fit in the sameconnection you’ve been accustomed to. But you’re just at the beginning of this grand adventure, and you’re tackling it as a team. There’s lots of time and opportunity to adjust, to learn more about your new patterns, and to find ways to stay connected.
Nothing is guaranteed in this world, and I certainly can’t promise you that if you follow my advice you’re going to have a bunch of great sex. However, here’s the key insight: Relationships are a collaborative endeavor. Every partner contributes something to the relationship dynamic. And if you can figure out what you’re contributing, you’re much more likely to see a shift in the entire dynamic..
