I’ve heard several stories about couples that suddenly stop having sex, start snapping at each other for stupid bs, your girlfriend who was so sweet and supporting becomes her mother, a raging, yelling psychopath, looking for excuses to be passive aggressive, inviting her friends back home when all you want to do is rest after your workday, your boyfriend, so passionate about you is suddenly cold towards you and wants to be left alone. Before having a child you were inseparable, now it’s like you hate each other and rant about your loved one with your friends…

I couldn’t survive such a radical personality change.

Does this phase eventually runs its course?

How do you find the mental fortitude to ignore the stupid bs your partner does or says?

How would you describe love to your partner a year after having a baby?

Is there any way to know if you and your partner are going to make it and remain a couple after having a child?

    Having babies made my wife more affectionate and concerned about my own well-being. It was so great, we now have 11 children together. She’s a real blessing.

      Im not gonna lie, as a parent, I assume people who have more than like 4 kids are either insane or massive narcissists.

        I might be insane. Do the insane know when they are insane? Either way, I am open to AMA style questions if you sincerely care to find out if your impression carries with me too.

          Latin Mass Catholic. So perhaps that makes more firm your impression of me. That said, I really don’t mind a sincere conversation, if you care to ask any questions.
