5 Things Killing Your S*x Life After Kids (That Have Nothing to Do With S*x)

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2412811/fan_mail/new] If you feel like your relationship has turned into roommates after kids… this is for you. This episode breaks down 5 things that are quietly killing your sx life after kids — that have nothing to do with sx. Because for most couples, it’s not about desire, effort, or “trying harder.” It’s about the patterns that build distance without you even realizing it. In this episode, we talk about: * Why waiting for desire to come back often makes things worse * How becoming your partner’s emotional outlet kills attraction * The “passive parenting” trap that creates disconnection * Why being the “nice one” can turn into a doormat dynamic * The hidden impact of screens and stress (the digital wall) * And how s*x can start to feel like pressure instead of connection If this sounds familiar, you’re not broken — and you’re not the only one stuck in this. This is one of the most common dynamics couples fall into after kids: You want connection → it comes out as pressure → your partner shuts down → and now everything feels harder. There’s a better way to shift this without making things worse. If this feels familiar and you want help navigating this without making it worse, check out the Roommates to Romance Challenge.
