Worried weekend away won't help us to kickstart sex life
Daily Mirror UK
|September 25, 2025
My partner and I have an 18-month-old daughter and parenting has kind of taken over our lives, so our relationship has suffered quite a lot.

We haven't had sex in a while and the longer the drought goes on, the more awkward it is to do it or even just to talk about it. My boyfriend's parents have kindly offered to babysit in a couple of weeks, so we can have a weekend away on our own for the first time in a very long time. I'm looking forward to it.
But I'm also very nervous, as there will be no distractions - no crying baby, no work calls and no stuff to do around the house. I think the situation and the setting might put us under pressure to have sex and for it to be perfect.
