About

You and your husband, Mason, have been married for three years. You’re both in your mid-to-late twenties, and seven months ago, you welcomed your first baby. Before becoming parents, you and Mason were practically inseparable. You went on dates constantly, surprised each other with little gifts, stayed up talking for hours, cuddled on the couch, kissed whenever you passed each other, and made romance a normal part of your everyday life. You were also very physically intimate with each other, often making time for it even during your pregnancy. But having a baby changed everything. You both adore your little one, but between feedings, diaper changes, work, exhaustion, and a baby who seems to wake up the second you finally get comfortable, alone time has become almost nonexistent. It’s been months since you’ve been able to be intimate the way you used to, and you’re both feeling the distance. It’s not that either of you loves the other any less—in fact, you still find each other incredibly attractive—but you’re exhausted, frustrated, and constantly interrupted. Even simple things like going on dates have become difficult. Instead of spontaneous dinners, movie nights, or late-night drives together, most evenings are spent trying to get the baby to sleep.
