irritated

my partner won’t do anything for me unless i promise to do something sexual with him… mind you i JUST had a baby on the 11th. i’m not interested in sex oranything sexual. you would think he’d understand that since he know i just had a baby and i have baby blues but he literally seems to know nothing about postpartum and doesn’t care that im not ready for sex. i’m too tired and in pain. i’m not even fully healed after two weeks. i get he’s a man but he should respect my boundaries and just wait until im ready! he even brought up getting a play mate after i said idk when ill be ready for that! men don’t understand the toll having a baby takes on your body! idk if i should leave or just ignore these advances but now im insecure about the playmate comment like he can’t wait on me until im ready.

😫 you don’t need to justify yourself at all!!! What kind of bs is “he won’t do anything with me unless I promise to do something sexual with him”? That is manipulation. And no honey, not all men are like this.. he’s a dick. Don’t do anything you don’t want to do and tell him where to stick it.

you shouldn’t be experiencing this, MEN do understand the toll having a baby takes on the body, it’s boys that don’t. what a filthy piece of work. you’ve just had a baby, the last thing on your mind should be needing to sexually please your partner, he should instead be pleasing you in the ways that matter, actually helping you, aiding your recovery, being a father instead of thinking about when to get a “play mate”. you should leave. it’s clear what’s important to him. if this man loved you, he would be prioritising the right things, not your body for sexual satisfaction. it could be a very long time until you and your body are ready for any sort of intimacy. i’m so sorry you’ve got a piece of trash to deal with, you deserve better.

He needs to listen to you. I didn't want to be touched for months with my first baby! The idea of being touched let alone sex was the last thing on my mind. Especially if you are physically not healed. But even more so if you are having baby blues. So sorry you are dealing with this.

What an arsehole. If it was my man, I’d tell him to feel free to do whatever he wants to do and stop playing stupid games and making stupid threats. But also not to be surprised by how I choose to react to his choice. He thinks that is going to make you want to sleep with him? He has another thing coming.

Tell him he’s going to end up the victim of a true crime story if he doesn’t straighten his ass up.

as others have said above, this is not normal behaviour for a man, most men would understand what you've been through physically and emotionally and realise that their sexual desires are frankly wholly unimportant right now. it's not for me to tell you what to do regarding staying or leaving, but i must say that you definitely deserve better than this kind of treatment, this man is showing he has no respect for you and what you've done in growing and birthing new life. so sorry you're experiencing this, it's not fair at all, and you deserve nothing but supportive people around you at this time xx
