Getting out of a rut..
New to marraige and new to the nest. A slightly personal subject but what the heck? Right?
H and I have been married for almost 4 months. You would think we would be having sex all the time. Already our sex life has almost disappeared. It's as if we both are just tired, stressed, or busy....all the time. Or sick. Sick is what has been going on this month.
How do you just get over your low energy and get into it?
Re: Getting out of a rut..
I have heard this as well, I haven't had the chance to try it yet. We too have just been so busy and tired and haven't been able to find the time. I still try to make sure we do it at least once a week but I've heard the more you do it the more you want it and it helps. I plan on trying that once we get through this move to our new house this weekend. ;-)
Sick and exhausted are usually going to trump sexy for most people.
Sounds like you should start scheduing some sexy time. And it also sounds like you might need to adjust your expectations and stop being so hard on yourself.
I second this! We were sort of in a rut for a little bit also. This month we are really focusing on TTC and decided to have as much sex possible regardless of how we feel. Now even though I am not in my fertile windows we are still having sex a lot!
Like others have said, having sex will make you want sex more. The first few times you probably won't be looking forward to it, but once you're into it, you should enjoy it and will be wanting it the next time.
Also, when you get home from work, change clothes. You don't have to put on lingerie, but put on an outfit that DH thinks is sexy and that you feel sexy in. It's likely to help set the mood.
Can't wait to meet my baby boy!
This. Just do it... Im sure you all will get back into the mood.
This is true for me as well. Also, paying extra attention to myself like taking a long shower or bath, shaving really well, doing hair/makeup... etc will also make me feel very sexy.
Just start kissing your DH, that will sometimes lead to other things and even if it doesn't it still feels good to both of you.
