Body:
My name is Xiaoya, I am 28 years old and I have just given birth to my first baby. I used to be an energetic working woman, but now I'm a stay-at-home mom and I'm spending my days around my baby's eating, drinking, and lazing. During the confinement, my body was still recovering, and the pain of the wound and the exhaustion of my body made me almost breathless. However, during such a special period, the intimacy between me and my husband has quietly changed.
My husband has always been a considerate person, and he took care of me during my pregnancy, which made me feel full of love. However, with the birth of the baby, his focus seems to have shifted. He was busy taking care of the baby every day and had little time to take care of my feelings. I understand his hard work, but I still feel a little disappointed.
One night, the baby finally fell asleep peacefully. I looked at my sleeping husband beside me, and the loneliness and longing in my heart came like a tide. I gently approached him, wanting to feel his warmth and hug. He was awakened by me and looked at me with a flash of surprise in his eyes, followed by a deep tenderness.
We lingered softly, and at that moment, I seemed to forget all the exhaustion and pain. His embrace made me feel a long-lost sense of security, and his kiss made me regain the sweetness I once had. However, just as I was indulging in this intimacy, I suddenly realized a question: is this the right thing to do?
During the confinement, I should take a good rest and not indulge in lust. I began to reflect on my own behavior, is it too irresponsible? The baby is still so young, should we put all our energy on him? However, I can't help but want to be close to my husband, this is human nature!
In the midst of the contradictions and struggles, I decided to have a good talk with my husband. I told him about my concerns and confusion, and he was honest about his thoughts. He said that he would also like to spend more time with me, but he is more worried about the safety and health of the baby. He suggested that we wait until the baby is older to slowly regain the intimate time we once had.
Listening to his words, although I was a little disappointed in my heart, I also understood his concerns. We discussed paying more attention to the baby's growth and health during the confinement period, while also not forgetting each other's emotional needs. He will give me comfort and support in my time of need, and I will also try to share the responsibilities of the family as much as possible when he is busy.
As time went on, my body gradually recovered, and the baby grew and became more and more cute. The relationship between my husband and I has also become deeper because of this turmoil. We understand that there are still many challenges we need to face as new parents, but as long as we understand and support each other, nothing can stop us from moving towards happiness.
Looking back now, although the intimate experience during that confinement was short, it made me cherish my relationship with my husband even more. I have learned that love is not only about passion and lingering, but also about understanding and tolerance. Only when we truly know how to cherish and protect each other, can love bloom the most beautiful light in the trivialities of life.
