Boys, I’m not sure what is normal. Have a young 7 week old healthy boy. I’m seeing and feeling a ton of distance with my wife and me. I know sex was out of the question for a while, but damn. We can’t connect on anything.
Any help yall have please.

End of thread. Not out of the woods yet.
Here in 5 months y'all will be telling every new expecting couple the best way to parent.

How the hell should we know, ask her.

Kid is great. She just doesn’t want much to do with me.

Just focus on being a good dad and husband and she'll come around. It's SUPER early still.
But, I've heard that being a good dad is an aphrodisiac.
Rub her feet and her back without expecting anything. Take care of your son and give her some time to relax and see where that gets you. You can't lose

When my son was 7 weeks, I was just trying to get all the sleep I could get lol. I would tell my wife I was finishing work at 6 but I really finished at 5. I would sleep in my car in the parking lot for a hour before I went back home.

That’s helpful thanks man.

The first few months can be rough. People aren’t sleeping well, your whole world is out of order. It’s a lot to adjust to. Postpartum depression is pretty normal too. Relationship disruptions are surely normal. Best thing you can do is tell your wife what you’re feeling. Though, I wouldn’t expect that to solve anything, communication opens the door.

He sleeps like a king. I, knock on wood, can’t believe how good he is. He sleeps 1-3 hrs solid naps. He doesn’t fuss much unless he is gas or pooping. That’s about it

Right now with a 7 week old child, her priorities are 100% on the child as they should be.
Let her maternal instincts continue, you be a good father, and things will be fine.
Marriage is a roller coaster of ups and downs. Enjoy the ride.

Go ahead and leave now that way your kid won't remember how mommy and daddy hated each other

No ideas what I was getting into with this man. Appreciate yalls help

It’s super early, you should be focusing on your kid. Be a good dad and good husband and it will be fine in no time.

Terdferg, this is me and your wife’s child I’m dealing with so pay your way or stfu lmao

In month 16 and another on the way... Your connection will come back but it'll be different. Be supportive. Tell her she's beautiful. Be a great dad.

Postpartum depression and anxiety is a thing too. Is she acting very different or just in mommy mode?

My wife is the same way. Our boy is 126 months next Thursday. They tell me it gets better.

So much good advice here
This is why I love the OT
At 7 wks your wife would have just been given the all clear by her doctor to do the deed(normally at 6 wks)
if this was her first kid, she probably had a little damage down there that needs time to heal
You may have been thinking about sex for the last 7 wks, but she hasn’t. She’s thinking of the newborn baby that is entirely dependent on her.
Pump the brakes. Check yourself. Jerk off. Ask your wife how you can help her. Thank God for a healthy wife and kid. Jerk off again. Ask again what you can do for her.
Hang in there, bud. You’ll have sex again someday.
