Congratulations on the stupidest comment so far today. Are you serious?

I hope you're joking... I'm sure OP REALLY wasn't in the mood to do any sexual favors for him after he spent the whole anniversary acting like an ass to her.

Lighten up! It was a joke!

I'm with you on this.. I know it sucks when you're not in the mood.. But a simple hand job or bj will go a long ways and won't take that long. I have a kid of my own. And yeah.. It can be exhausting but you don't want to lose the connection with your mate. Think of all the times he has done things he really didn't want to do but did any way.

"Your MATE"? This isn't Animal Planet.

Umm, when you have a new born baby you don't have time to think about sex or bjs. Idk Wtf is wrong with the husband.

#12, you are totally right. I'm with you on this one. I don't see what is so special about the OP that she can't give him a ******* on their anniversary. Not even a measly handjob? Cum on!!

47-despite the topic of this thread, your comment made me cringe. What kinda idiot are you?

I've had two children and always want/need sex! Sounds to me like she's one of them women who has sex with her partner as and when 'he has been good' obviously she can't have sex as she has just given birth! But there's plenty of other stuff that can be done!

#74 - Sorry, maybe that was a little idiotic. I just find it a little strange that one would refer to a husband/boyfriend as their 'mate'. To be honest, that made me cringe a little.

76: or she's exhausted from taking care of a newborn baby all day and just wants to ******* sleep? "there are other things you can do" Yeah, how about seeing a movie or going out to dinner? You can't use the fact that YOU crave sex as a reason why she should. All women are different after giving birth. For all you know, she could be suffering from PPD. Just stop trying now. You are just digging your hole deeper and deeper.

JustMwah - I would argue that you're definitely an exception. My wife didn't want me anywhere near her for months, and I respected that. We have two children, so obviously her view changed eventually, but I think most women don't think about sex (or any sexual activity) for a while after childbirth, and expecting anything 2 weeks after delivery is ridiculous.

Once again, why should YOU have to do something for him when he's being an ass? He's not trying talking, dinner, movie, cake, nothing. So why should she do that just to satisfy him? Screw that. Let him suffer.

85, I applaud you

81- You never know, the commenter may have been from Britain or Australia where "mate" is used as a term of endearment for friends or lovers, so it isn't cringe worthy at all, it's just a common foreign term! :)

HannahLouise, humans are animals so "mate" is not really a cringe worthy word.

What connection? The guy can't even man up and be supportive to her two weeks after she's given birth. He should be sacrificing for her right now. And it's not like he can't just jerk off for a few short weeks while her body recovers. He's acting like an entitled douchebag.

I think you've all taken this way to seriously. I'm not digging myself in any hole. I thought the suck him off instead comment I made was funny. End of.

121 - I'm from England, and I've never heard anyone call their lover their 'mate', but then again, I guess some people do. I've just never heard it, hence me finding it cringe-worthy. xD

If not getting a handjob or a ******* will make you "lose the connection" with your significant other, then you don't have a connection.

If not getting a handjob or a ******* will make you "lose the connection" with your significant other, then you don't have a connection.

Actually, that was my first thought...win win

137: my 4 year old nephew told me a joke funnier than yours the other day. Wanna hear it? "is your refrigerator running? then you better go catch it!" You aren't funny, you're an idiot. End of.

The fact that most people have taken this FML so seriously and my comment is funny. End of

But did he do those things for your pleasure or because they had to be done? I don't consider him feeding baby, taking out the trash, doing household stuff as stuff that needs to be rewarded with a bj. Of course, I give them anyway but I'm also not two weeks postpartum. If I was still sore, waking up every couple of hours to take care of the new baby, with my abdominal muscles still not completely normal and still had my big pregnancy belly I wouldn't be keen on giving him a bj regardless of what he'd done for me personally. I kind of figure any man that won't wait for me to be ready for sex after I gave us a baby doesn't really deserve me making my poor sore body give him pleasure. Now, I'd probably offer an anniversary bj if PIV sex was off the table, but that's the key there, I'd offer.

I'm curious - what is this "handjoe" you speak of?

My thoughts exactly!!

It's a comical term for handjob :0

Why should HE get his way when he's pouting? She said no, respect it and actually celebrate the time youve been together by watching a movie or dinner. If he didn't work it out and just gave up he doesn't deserve it. Obviously he doesn't care about her fellings, why should she care about his?

He's in an unstable, emotional state. With the lack of sexual intimacy in his life, he could be driven into sex-crazed frenzy, and eventually commit a spate of sex crimes!

A "handyjoe"?!? I've never heard that term for (what I can safely assume) a handjob.

Learn about what happens to a couple's psyche after birth. Problem solved.

It is your first born. Lol. I need to stop reading 'too fast'

OP pushed a baby out less than 2 weeks ago- why should she give her husband oral sex?? Maybe he should be more understanding and less of a jerk to what she's been through

"And if you made him happy, he would make you happy." That's funny...I see nothing in the OP's FML that remotely indicates the husband would make her happy if she gave him a *******. In fact, he seems like a selfish jerk who's too concerned with his dick than the health and safety of his wife. If she gave him oral, he'd probably still complain that it wasn't "real" sex or something.

Exactly! He should be happy spending his anniversary with his wife and new child, appreciating the wonder and miracle that is new life!

And also it's not recommend for a female to do anything downy there and even more so if she has stitches

Yeah! Where'd all these clueless morons come from??

If he handled a pregnant woman for nine months an anniversary BJ is in order. Period. And how do you know that he hasn't been pulling his weight? For all you know, he could be doing most of the cooking and cleaning and taking the night feedings. My hubby did all that, and he is lazy as **** by his own admission, so it can't be that uncommon. Marriage is compromise and it looks like OP doesn't know how or doesn't want to find the middle ground.

She just had a child I wasn't up for it and I had my baby as a teen my boyfriend was only 16 I was 17 when we first had the baby and when I said I didn't feel up to it he understood and helped me feel better Because he knew I was hurting this guy need to grow up

@86 - Yeah? And who CARRIED that baby dipshit? Give the dog a ******* bone because he handled being around you? Oooo big ******* deal. They had sex SHE got pregnant, SHE carried for 9 months while probably working because you can't exactly make it on your own, SHE gave birth, he stood by her and did some housework. HOLY SHIT GIVE HIM A MEDAL. You're a paranoid bitch who sucked your husband off so he wouldn't go with another bitch probably.

Are you an idiot? OP recently gave BIRTH to a child. That sounds like a pretty legitimate excuse to me. Edit: that was not directed at you Alan.

A two week old baby is sure to get in the way of them enjoying each others company all day.

Having a baby two weeks ago isn't an excuse to not have sex, nor does it have anything to do with confidence. Giving birth causes cuts and tears, which is one reason sex is NOT recommended until at least six weeks after giving birth. Not to mention she needs to wait until her hormones are back to normal. Do us all a favor and head butt a wall. Repeatedly.

32- "the fact that you make excuses"? They have a NEWBORN. Clearly you've never been around one or you'd know it's not about "excuses". F your life for being so... Narrow.

There are serious risks involved in having sex so after

Ugh cat raped my iPad. *So soon after giving birth. There was more but I can't remember what I was going to say xD

Even if the OP didn't have to wait at least six weeks to have sex (which she does - what do you think her ******/cervix looks like right now?!), but how ISN'T a newborn baby an excuse to not have sex? Geez, the OP and her husband's life have just been changed forever. Not only might the OP be feeling insecure about her body (which is very understandable for new moms), but it takes a lot longer than under 2 weeks to get into the rhythm of having a new little human being in your life. I wouldn't be surprised if the OP really DIDN'T feel like sex, even if she was ignoring the health advice from her doctors. I know sex wasn't at the forefront of my mind after having my first child! There's nothing wrong with that. Why the hell are so many people in this comment section shaming the OP because she isn't a subdued little sex-slave for her clearly selfish husband? He isn't the only one with needs in the relationship...ESPECIALLY since he wasn't the one who pushed a baby out of one of his orifices recently.

It's nothing to do with confidence! Did you not read the whole bit about her just having his baby?! It will most likely hurt her having sex that soon after child birth. It's not her making excuses it's bloody common sense!

It's not about being confident in front of her husband. Two weeks after a baby has shot through your ****** you are still sore. Some people get stitched up and sex would tear the stitches out. I have children and I was never up to sex that soon after the kids were born.

Are you retarded?

This comment.... I have no words. It is just that ridiculous. Facepalm.

This comment... I have no words. It is just that ridiculous. Facepalm.

They say even with a healthy birth with no tears and no problems, to avoid having sex for the first six weeks as this is the time you are have a higher chance of falling pregnant again. I've been given the speech for almost two months now because I'm due October 3rd and I go on my honeymoon October 19th.
