I'm experiencing a massive change in our relationship

June 28, 2010 3:00am CST
When we are just boyfriend and girlfriend. we we're so Happy. as in super happy. We talk a lot, we love being with each other everyday, we laugh and cry together, we always go out to the mall, we show each other how much we love and appreciate each other. But now that we are married and we have a baby, seems like everything has changed. I still love being with him everyday though. I still love doing the same things we both love doing before. like talking and just cuddling. But it looks tome like he's not into it anymore. I really don't feel appreciated now. I feel a lot of pain when I feel that he's keeping a little distance away from me. I don't know what to do.

Perhaps he feels like you are keeping distance from him? Maybe he feels like you are busy with baby all the time, and never have time for him? Try maybe getting some time alone without baby? Just an idea. Hard to know what is going on from over the internet.

talk with him and tell him that you feel something is wrong :( tell him that you feel he doesnt love you anymore and if that is true. thats the only thing you can do. you cant be in this pain. maybe he is just having some problem and didnt tell you to dont make you worry and is being distant but not meaning it :( please talk with him and tell him how you feel that way you will find out how he feels. but if you say you still do the same like before maybe he still loves you just maybe he has some problem.

The age of marriage which growing often makes the relationship no longer based on feelings of love. There are routines that are sometimes make saturated. However, many ways that you can do to keep marital harmony and loving! one of them is to continue to give more attention to the couple when he fell ill. Accompany him in the bedroom and offer what you can do, to him will be very significant. He could also keep a full rest undisturbed by children though, will make the couple feel comfortable.

I have heared a lot of this kind of stories. It's natural for man to have this kind of change after they got married. I have read a book about men which was recommended by my boyfriend. He wants me to understand more about men. And in the book, it says it is natural that after a man get married, he will make less efforts to build the relationship. Because as a husband, he feels that you are already his, he does not need to spend so much effort to try to make you happy. I think this will also happen in my marriage in the future, because I haven't got married yet. But I am now preparing myself for that. I learn psychology, I learn how to design clothes, I learn how to give myself a beautiful makeup, I learn how to raise a healthy baby,and so on. There are just so many things to learn and to do in my life that I feel I can feel extremely happy even if I am alone. Then I think if one day, my bf does not pay lot of attention to me, I will feel ok too.

I think you should try to open it up to your husband about how you feel right now with what he's doing and showing you. I also felt the same way when we we're newly married. I felt and saw the changes. But since I am transparent and we are open to each other, I was able to make him understand how I feel. Definitely, there will be changes now especially that you already have a baby. You and your husband will have lesser time just the two of you unlike when you were still boyfriend, girlfiend. You have to spend more time now with the baby. But through open communication, you can still ask him what you were doing before, and you might just don't know, your husband also miss those times. When I talked to my husband about that, he also told me that he is also missing those days. So, you just have to manage your time as husband and wife and also time for the baby. And everything will be okay with you as a couple and as a family.
