Hello,
Ya our marriage was consent on both of us. Its 9 years now and I am having a 6 years old child. I am staying with my husband and my child here. Other family members are out of town. My husband started showing less interest in sex since the birth of our child as I had a normal delivery. He was not able to do well before too and no foreplay is involved. He is not at all satisfied with his job and neither of us has understanding. I am not working and he don't even want me to work too. He was a forceps born child and my mom-in-law told me that he has some little problem since childhood. He started walking at the age of 2.5 years. Always stressed and didn't took interest in games and like to eat sweets n chocolates like a child. He is very much caring ie over caring and over reacts on every situation and loves me a lot. But since 3 years I don't love him as I am nor physically, nor mentally nor financially satisfied with him. He is like a stubborn kid and understands things after a long time.
Is there any solution to my problem as I m extremely unhappy with my married life.
Regards,
doctor

Brief Answer:
Communication and love is key.

Detailed Answer:
Hello again.
Thanks for your details.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion there is lack of communication between both of you.
Both of you should listen to each other, discuss your and your son's life.
Some time it does happen that after birth of a child, husband's interest is not full filled by wife, because of her responsibility towards her child and house hold work.
I would suggest you not to retaliate,to what ever is not liked by you, but try to communicate politely with love and affection.
You can solve this problem only and only by love and affection.
Encourage him for fore play.
Even you he fails to make love to you, you can say,
"it happens some time to all the people in the world."
Hope I have answered your query, if any thing else,you are welcome or you can close the question by rating the answer.
Good wishes.
