Today, my husband spent our entire anniversary sulking because I wasn't up for sex. I gave birth to our first child less than two weeks ago. FML

Tell him he needs to rethink his view on what marriage is really about.

Doesn't he understand that you have to wait AT LEAST 6 weeks after giving birth before even thinking about having sex

Doctors recommend waiting until they've had a chance to give you the "all clear" before having sex again

You can't have sex for at least 6 weeks while things are healing. He trying to do permanent damage?

I don't think he cares. He's too retarded and selfish.

Take it from an OB... 6 weeks pelvic rest!

the guys an idiot. spending time with you should be enough. 2 weeks is way too soon (have 4 kids of my own) sulking about it makes him a selfish retard

Did you offer him anything romantic? Dinner out, romantic movie night or a different way to please him in the bedroom? If so, his sulking is completely unwarranted. Most women are still BLEEDING from having their placenta strip from their uterus wall during childbirth... and then there is the severe tenderness in your abdominal area because all of your organs are shrinking back to their usual positions and the tenderness from stretching of vaginal skin and muscle so that the baby can pass through... and then you also need to consider if you tore/prolapsed and needed stitches or not. Either way, you need more than two weeks to recover (hell, it took me nearly two MONTHS for the tenderness to go away) and he needs to be more understanding of your situation. Was he there during the birth? Did he witness your pain, the hours of labour you had to endure and how much it must have hurt, to watch you give birth? I've seen my sister give birth and it looked mighty painful. Last year, I went through childbirth myself, and so I KNOW its as painful as it looks.

I thought the same thing about him being there. Who watches childbirth and thinks "Oh she'll bounce back from that after a couple days"? Even if he couldn't be there, he should compare the size of his baby to the size of his wife's ******. Watermelon vs Peach.

Sadly, a lot of people DO seem to think the female body just snaps back into place as soon as the baby is out. Even after the healing process, most womens' bodies are never quite the same as they originally were. Not only have you just pushed a watermelon from a tiny hole, but you've also held said watermelon inside your body for almost a year. Things in the stomach/nether region area are going to be quite different once the baby is out.

I was very lucky that my husband understood the pain I went through having our two children. With the last one, I wasn't able to have any pain medication (which would have been fine but that's not what I had planned on) and I was in horrible pain. He stood right by me and apologized the whole time about my pain. Hell, I was ready to have sex again before he was comfortable enough not to hurt me so waited an extra 2 weeks. I just don't understand these men that have to treat their women like this. It makes me sick for all of those women and at the same time thankful that I found a good one!

Sounds like you should put them both in daycare and go get yourself a massage or a handle of whiskey. Or both, however it is you like to relax

No alcohol if she's breast feeding. Which I hope she chose!

You aren't even allowed to have sex yet. He is a fool.

Shove a dinner plate up his butt op and see what hje says then!
