Rebecca has been with her husband for 10 years, but since having three children over the past three years she has grown “disconnected” from him. <\/p>\n
“We are just cohabiting, like we’re not a couple. We are just parents,” she says. <\/p>\n
Like many parents, they struggle to find time to spend alone.<\/p>\n
“Our kids are so young and they are so demanding that it’s hard to even get five minutes to catch up and we’re both exhausted come the end of the day.”<\/p>\n
She says the dynamic of her relationship changed after she gave birth to her first child. <\/p>\n
“We knew it was going to be different when we started trying for our first baby, but I think the gravity of it, we weren’t expecting how different it would be.” <\/p>\n
In Rebecca’s case, her whole life has changed as she’s switched from working full time to becoming a full time mother, and says she has struggled to open up with her partner about her feelings. <\/p>\n
“His life is still his life. He does see how hard it is for me at home and also our relationship, he knows it’s affected, but he’d never bring it up.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Rebecca has been with her husband for 10 years, but since having three children over the past three…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":417572,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[49,50,51,47,52,48],"class_list":["post-417571","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/417571","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=417571"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/417571\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/417572"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=417571"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=417571"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=417571"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
