ok...i know the title sounds weird....but im serious. ive been thinking and i think i want my dh to get himself a gf in addition to me. i say this because he is always so stressed from work and my not wanting to have sex. plus, all we do is argue anyway, even tho we love each other. does anyone have any experiance with this? ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED

I think adding another person to the scenario would only make things worse while there are problems there I think you need to get to the bottom of the arguements and other things before you open your relationship up like that. Maybe some couples councelling would help you to be able to overcome conflict and everyday annoyance exprienced by you. Good luck mama

There's absolutely nothing wrong with an open or poly relationship so long as both partners are in agreement or being treated fairly. But, it sounds like you two are having a lot of problems and it wouldn't be the best thing for your relationship.
You not wanting to have sex stresses him out that bad? It sounds like he's just trying to guilt trip you into having sex. Was this his idea or yours? How do you feel about it?

Oh, I just realized that your little one is only a month old. It's sooo normal in the first year or two after having a baby for a mama to have really low interest in sex. Especially the first month, when you're still recovering from the birth and very sleep deprived.
Some women don't feel comfortable having sex during pregnancy or for a long time after giving birth. It doesn't mean their partner should get a girlfriend.

I honestly, did not have sex for almost 6 months.... I just couldn't do it.

I have the same advice I posted in your other thread.

I agree, if there are problems already this will only magnify them.

Many couples are into the open relationship thing, and thats great. But if you are telling him to get a girlfriend, because you cant 'satisfy' him... Thats just not right.
I dont know where women get the idea that they need to 'satisfy' their men...Well i do know where the idea comes from...but I really hate it! A relationship is built on mutual satisfaction, and it requires effort from both parties, to make that work. Your satisfaction at the moment entails sleep and rest. Your husband needs to suck it up, and deal with that. You have a one month old child, for Christ sakes. Your body is still healing from giving birth...and your exhausted from taking care of a brand new infant. Seriously, at this point HIS satisfaction should be the farthest thing from your mind, as he can (and all men can) take care of themselves very easily.
If you are into the open relationship, and totally comfortable with it...thats definatly cool....but if there is any doubt in your mind about it, or you are only doing it because you think your poor husband needs to be satisfied......Dont do it (In other words, do what YOU want to do, NOT what your husband whines and complains about.......men are all excellent wankers.)
