I find my wife more attractive than ever since she gave birth

r/

Ever since my wife gave birth, I’ve been more attracted to her than I think I’ve ever been. The changes to her body, the curves, the softness, even the little marks left behind are beautiful to me in a way I didn’t expect. I know society can be harsh on postpartum bodies, but I honestly think she looks sexier now than ever before.

Seeing her as a mom has made me feel even closer to her. She’s so strong and caring, and it’s honestly kind of amazing.

We’re sticking to the six weeks before getting intimate again, and I’m 100% respecting that. But I won’t lie, I’m counting down the days and really eager to have sex again. I miss being close to her, and now that I see her in this new way, I want her more than ever.

I haven’t told her all this yet because I don’t want to make things awkward or pressure her, but I just had to get it off my chest.

    That’s sweet. I don’t think it would make things awkward if you told her how attractive you find her.

    Tell her! What a beautiful thing to hear from your husband. You seem like a very gentle person and I’m sure she won’t take it to the pressure side. She will be absolutely melted to hear those words, especially on such a special moment in her life.

    That’s so cute 🙁 tell her that.

    Rub her feet and tell her how much you like touching her. Rub her shoulders and tell her how good she smells. Paint her toenails, and tell her how beautiful she is.

    It is impossible to get too many compliments. Be specific. Your earlobes are so soft. Your neck is so graceful. Your elbows are so perfect.

    Do not mention any body part that wouldn’t* show up in a Disney movie.

    Tell her you love holding her and your new peanut.

    Say on repeat, “it doesn’t matter if we wait 6 weeks or 6 months or 6 years, I will never stop finding you sexy.” Just knowing there is no pressure or countdown timer makes many (of course I am not speaking for all) but makes many women ready sooner.

    Edit wouldn’t

    Man if you don’t put that phone down and got tell your wife how you feel about her right now!

    6 weeks is the bare minimum to avoid infection. most women don’t want to have sex for six months at least, specially if there were stitches. if you truly love her dont pressure her

    bro this hit me, my wife just had our kid and i feel the same way. it’s wild how that love grows in ways u didn’t expect

  10. Duck__Holliday Avatar

    Dude, write this in a card and give it to her! I’m absolutely sure that she would be ecstatic to hear such a loving thing from you.

  11. LeeNipps Avatar

    Same thing happened to me. I know everyone is different, but for me, it never subsided. It was 12 years ago and I’m still surprised how my feelings changed. I knew I loved her, but it felt like the previous feelings of love were a joke compared to how I felt after our kid. Make sure you communicate your feelings, as best as the English language can help anyway.

    She needs to hear this and often. Especially when feeling low. What happens to our bodies with pregnancy is hard and the social pressure makes it worse. Any post partum brain weasels need a slap and this is perfect. Tell her exactly what you told us. If you have please accept this cookie and know that you are appreciated

    She’s very lucky and she doesn’t know that yet. Go ahead and let her know, she’ll be very happy to hear that 🥰 .

    This is absolutely beautiful and you should tell her how you feel. It will definitely help her see her own beauty and strength that she might not see right now. Your feelings and her beauty need to be celebrated. Maybe a cute candle lit dinner at home and you two just connecting. It’s beautiful to see a man be so in love with his with in today’s world

  16. MissZealous Avatar

    Tell her…but in a respectful way. Sex is probably the last thing on her mind right now and you don’t want to put unwanted pressure onto her.

  17. lavender_and_sage Avatar

    Tell her tell her tell her! Not the sex countdown, but everything else. You will make her feel so confident and beautiful again, everyone will benefit from that ❤️

    Make sure to tell her. Sing it to the hills! It can be a very sensitive time for women after birth. She did a superhero thing with her body. She is amazing! Tell her it every day and make sure you ask for what you need, too! And congratulations!

  21. Schpumpy69 Avatar

    Hopefully you’ve told her! This is so sweet, a billion green flags. I know you probably feel lucky to have her, but she’s also so lucky to have you too! This is every woman’s dream. I pray this kind of love finds me if I’m ever destined to have love in my life 😭❤️

    My wife was already a mother when I met her. We decided to have one of our own. I had the biggest crush on her ever while she was pregnant. She was just glowing 24/7.

  23. R-Moocher Avatar

    You forgot to mention women’s breasts improve after pregnancy too (from getting larger) haha. You should tell her you like how she looks now. Will make her feel better.

    this is truly so wholesome.

  29. Que_Raoke Avatar

    You absolutely should tell her. Trust me, she feels anything but sexy and she’s more than likely concerned you’re less attracted to her now. Tell her you’re not trying to be one of those guys who rushes their partner into sex after birth and you have no troubles waiting for her to be ready, but that you need her to know how gorgeous she is to you. That seeing her after bringing life into this world has stirred a fire in you for her. Tell her these things. She’ll appreciate it, I can assure you of that.

    Dude I felt the exact same way after my girl had our kid like I was blown away by how beautiful and strong she looked even when she didn’t feel it at all she kept saying she felt gross and I didn’t know how to say all the stuff I felt without making it weird so I just started telling her little things like how good she looked in a certain shirt or how badass she was with the baby and over time she started seeing it too just tell her in your own way she probably needs to hear it more than you think

    Where can I find a man like this?

  34. cocokiwi99 Avatar

    Honestly I’ve seen in media, and in real life, mostly the negative stuff that happens after birth. Usually it’s about how badly your body changes, husbands only cheat and leave the wives eventually after birth etc… but waking up to this post has made me feel so good and is one of the best things I’ve read. As a young lady wanting to be a mom with the man I love, this is so inspiring to me and gives me so much beautiful hope. Maybe the negative stuff is so engrained in me and is a source of anxiety because of my family history and that’s basically all I’ve known. But THIS is just beautiful and mind blowing to know that this love exists. Thanks for sharing this! ❤️

    aww idk i feel like that’s the mark of a strong relationship and true love

  36. Nukemup07 Avatar

    Wanna show her this? Suggest learning to dance. She will always feel gorgeous when you’re spinning her around or holding her close. And the INTIMACY from dancing is INSANE.

  37. StudentTop895 Avatar

    You should definitely say it at the right time, I wouldn’t necessarily make it sexual but telling her how she glows would be sweet

  38. RNA-Freakout Avatar

    This is inspiring as it’s how Love should be felt and celebrated between Lovers.

    As a woman, having your physical form ravaged and destroyed by pregnancy and child birth can be absolutely devastating for most of us.

    Unfortunately, some “men” get off using the pain of our physical degradation against us in the worst ways imaginable any time the opportunity arises to suffice their controlling.

    It becomes more and more difficult to hold on to the faith and trust I’ve maintained in believing that this kind of Love between people exists.

    …but this…this makes me happy.😊♥️

    Post like this are so important and serve to remind some of us the importance of holding on and to continue trusting in our faith towards Love.

    Thank you for Loving her and her scars, OP. You are what it means to be a REAL Divine Masculine. 💚🙌🏽💚

    Show her this post or write about your adoration for her body in a letter for her to find. This is extremely romantic and sweet. I’m sure she’s feeling icky being PP, and this type of reassurance and love could be just what she needs to feel more confident.

    This made me tear up because it is just so sweet! As others have said, please tell her. It’s so easy for new moms to be consumed by this new role and it’s so important to be reminded that you’re still you.

  44. ProfessorGimpsuit Avatar

    Yeah, that’s in your head bud. But still good for you! Evolution is making your brain not find your wife gross now that she’s had children, making you more likely to have more.

    I swear I’ve seen a post like this somewhere else before, maybe on this sub… Maybe you’re not the only guy who finds his wife more attractive ever since giving birth ahah. Well, either way, this is very sweet and I’m sure she would love to hear this from you.

    That means that you’re a good person that actually love your wife and doesn’t see her as an object for your pleasure. But a mother to your child.

    Tell her, but make it more the attitude of beautiful than sexy. She might be overwhelmed and not really be counting down the days like you are.

  55. Hately2016 Avatar

    OP, I completely understand. I get it. There is something that ignites the most primal of fires in me, emotionally, physically and sexually, when I see my wife’s post-partum body. Two kids, 4 years after our second boy, and still absolutely love seeing her body Every. Damn. Day. The little marks, the slight stomach pooch, her soft beautiful curves still make me lose train of thought ten years later. I can’t help but still kiss that woman all over when we are intimate. I also understand counting down those days until the 6 weeks are up. I told her so, but respectfully of course. She didn’t understand why cuz she felt so different from before, understandably. So I explained why her beauty, to me, was ramped up to eleven. I tell you what OP, two nights later was the absolute best and loving “Non-Sex” I’ve ever had in my life. 4 years later and e still bring it up every so often. They carried our children, the changes made or more beautiful than the human language had words to express, and to Men like us, that change opens a Love AND Lust we embrace with every fiber of our being to our respective loved ones. I’m happy for you OP, and I wish you many, many more years with your wife!
